On July 18th, Republicans begin a four-day meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, to choose their party’s candidate for president. The following week Democrats choose their presidential candidate in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These two conventions are likely to get more public attention than any in the past 40 years. Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is the likely Democratic nominee. And businessman Donald Trump has enough delegates to win the Republican nomination. An effort by “Never Trump Republicans” to deny him the nomination faces long odds. “I think everybody understands that they lack the kind of support to pull off what they started out to do,” Bruce Ash told CNN. He is a member of the Republican convention rules committee. Pete Hatemi, a political science professor at Penn State University, believes Trump’s trouble winning over the Republican establishment will bring more interest in the Republican convention.
