This convention is going to be fun. News making, for once. For journalists it won't be just the same old grind again, they're actually looking forward to it.
As as I said before, barring a muslim extremist domestic terrorist attack, Democrats win. So this 'who is going to the the Republican candidate??' thing probably doesn't matter that much. Trump fans will be livid if the Republican party ignores them tho...it will make them do crazy things.
