Over the next two weeks, Republicans and Democrats will gather in Cleveland and Philadelphia for a ritual that has become almost entirely ceremonial: Each party will “select” pre-selected presidential candidates.
Of course, it’s all for show. There hasn’t been a second round of voting (a second ballot) at a major party presidential convention since 1952. But Bob Mondello knows exactly what a “contested” convention would be like – he’s already seen it in movies (State of the Union), novels (Sinclair Lewis’ It Can’t Happen Here) and TV (House of Cards).
