It's my convention and i can cry if i want to.

     This week I watched Face the Nation. The host was John Dickerson. The guest on the show were Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and Cleveland police chief Calvin Williams, Former Governor of Mississippi Haley Barbour. The pundits were CBS News election director Anthony Salvanto, Wall Street Journalist Kimberly Strassel, The Federalist writer Ben Domenech, American Conservative Union Matt Schlapp.


     Our first interview is with Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager. They talk about how the main focus of the convention will be on Donald Trump and showing his more personal side. The convention will showcase his family members, business partners, senators who support Trump. This gives him a boost because his family members speaking out for him will show that he has strong family values that republicans hold true. They talk about if the republican convention is going to be Donald Trump's convention, is he reshaping the party or the head of it. Paul M. answers to both yes. This is his convention and he is the change of modern conservatives views, and bringing a wave of change for the party. The topic of his vice president pick comes up. John D. says that Donald's choice for Pence is because he wants unity in the party and what does that mean. Manafort responds back that he (Trump) means that he wanted someone with experience to be president as vice president, someone who can reach out to the party.They end on  the two's different views and opinions. Next interview is with Newt Gingrich. John D. begins the interview with how did the vetting process go for him and what did finalists had to go through. John D. asks what is Donald Trump's biggest weakness to Newt G. He answers back that he doesn't know the regular traditional republicans. I can agree with the statement but I really wouldn't call that his biggest weakness but more like challenge he has to face with. They go on talk about Trump being against special interest groups and the politicians who take money from them like Hillary Clinton. They end on with if Newt was disappointed that he wasn't picked as Donald Trump's final vp pick. He says no and Mike Pence is a great choice and if he had the chance to serve in the cabinet, he definitely take it. Up next is Haley Barbour. They talk about if the GOP convention will expect any shenanigans from the Stop Trump movement, Trump's vice president pick, the missing senators and republicans that aren't coming to the convention. The pundits come to talk about Trump's vice president pick, some of the pundits says that it helps Trump but it can hurt him in states with more minorities like Florida. Two of the pundits got into an argument that this is now the party of Donald Trump, not the party of Lincoln and it came to Cleveland to die. I have no true reason to put this in the blog but I thought the argument the two had was pretty funny. But on serious note, the pundit who did say the party is dying has a point. The party has now been divide between a candidate who has ties to somewhat of the core values of the party but mostly is doing things his way and creating some tension in the nation. But, dying is pretty strong word to use, more like fading away from the traditional views they used to have. The final interview is with Calvin Williams. The interview mainly talked about the security and how the shootings in Dallas influence their tactics now. The final panel ends the show with how the attacks on police and shootings influence the presidential election.

 
   This week, we have come to Trump's final pick for vice president, The Republican/Trump's convention, and the changes the RNC is facing and what is up next for them. The election is far from over and only just beginning.
