Pat Brady former chairman for the Illinois Republican Party tries to answer the question, “What the hell has happened to your party?” Brady will be a delegate for John Kasich at this year’s GOP convention.

There probably won’t be much fun at this convention, so why should anyone go or watch? Is it possible that Trump won’t win the nomination because some of his supporters might not show up? So what about the Hillary factor… If she wins, can the GOP put up with her for the next 4 years?
Bill Cameron is joined by Ray Long of the Chicago Tribune, Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times, and Greg Hinz of Crain’s Chicago Business.

Is “Social Media” to blame for the hostile change in how society reacts to problems? Is social media actually helpful to the coverage of these events which are being protested? Are these violent incidents (police brutality, unjust shootings, etc) increasing or are we now more aware because of the ease in which they can be documented?
