With only one week until the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, speculation is brewing that Trump will announce his VP pick in the next seven days. But unlike many historical candidacies, Trump is unlikely to pick either of the primary runners-up, Senator Ted Cruz or Ohio Governor John Kasich. In the video below, Elaine Kamarck explains why. Beginning in 1831, conventions were almost always “brokered” in other words they were the result of deal making between party elites. Because the conventions were brokered, the second-place pick would cut a deal with the nominee and become the VP as a way to bring the party back together.
