It looks likely from my perspective. And I'm not just saying one convention, or the other. Both look pretty chaotic to me, for completely different reasons.
The Democrats can't seem to choose which kind of Socialist they prefer; the "moderate" one, Hillary, who talks tough about how bad Wall Street is, while taking large donations from their corporations, along with huge payments to her lobbying foundation from just about every Persian gulf oil producing country. Do we really think those donations do not come with strings attached? If we think the Obama administration was hostile to American Oil Companies (fracking, and Keystone oil pipeline), and the Coal Industry, wait till Hillary gets in power!!! Talk about American oil producers going bankrupt!!! And guess who will bail them out? The Arab oil companies, with probably some neutral sounding corporate names, to disguise their real ownership!
And, remember, it was Saudi Arabia that gave us Osama bin Laden!
Or maybe they will try an electoral coup for Bernie's sake. He has said he will lobby for specific issues, but will not endorse Hillary. I'll bet every one of those issues will be called by his name, somehow. And all those students fresh out of school, or leftist college courses, would love to see an electoral revolt to throw the Convention wide open, somehow.
In the Republican party, Donald Trump has alienated just about everybody except his own family, and he has divorced half of them. The "establishment Republicans" hate him because he won the nomination, virtually in spite of them. They realize that a Trump White House would probably be vindictive towards those who resisted his nomination. There is already talk of swaying some delegates to break their vows to vote for Trump. I don't know anything of the legal implications of this, but just talking about it seems to be dangerous for the Trump devotees. And if he is not the party's nominee, you can bet he will create a third party, which will all but guarantee a Democratic victory!
The voters in this country seem to be fed up with the wishy-washy politics of past generations. So-called "moderates" on the Left, and on the Right, don't seem to have the appeal of the past elections. The Left wants more Socialism purists, and the Right is just plain sick of all the "moderates" running the party. Is this the rise of the Conservative purists??? Perhaps the Bible is exercising it's "two-edged Sword" in this year's politics!
Again, I quote that old political pollster, Alice, of "Wonderland" fame, who said, "Things are getting curiouser, and curiouser!"
