I think it would be great TV to see 4 or 5 candidates trying to get the nomination at the Convention.  Lots of drama!

Thank you for explanation.
In the actual case it is/was kind off predictable that there could be complications.
But if it would be another candidate and he has health reasons for example or something else which would even lead the candidate to pull back his candidacy, what would be the most logical thing for the respective party? Do they have to take this steps which you described again? Months or weeks before the election? That's defeat by default in my opinion. Or does the second placed nominee has to be a 'substitute' in that case?
Sorry, if I sound like an ignorant but I seriously have no clue
