'BradCast' 7/14/2016 (GOP Presidential historian and advisor Doug Wead on what to expect at the RNC Convention in Cleveland)
b"Nobody really knows what the GOP convention in Cleveland next week will look like, or even if the delegates there will vote for Donald Trump as expected. Joining us today on 'The BradCast' is Doug Wead, Presidential historian, author, advisor to two Republican Presidents and a number of campaigns, as well as an expert on GOP political conventions. Wead details what can and can't happen under Republican rules next week (yes, Trump could literally and legally offer gifts in exchange for delegate votes) and gives his analysis on how he believes it's all likely to play out. He also offers an historical perspective on this particularly insane campaign, describes why he believes the Trump campaign is similar to Ronald Reagan's, and offers a warning, particularly for Democrats, that, like Reagan, "Trump can win" in the fall. Also today: yet another new poll finds Hillary Clinton's support falling (in this case, to a tie nationally with the GOP's presumptive nominee), and Desi Doyen joins us for the latest 'Green News Report,' including coverage of the one ridiculous word added to the Republican Party platform to undermine the environment, and what may be the funniest 'snarky comment' ever on a GNR (courtesy of Sen. Al Franken)..."
