Unconventional #1: The GOP’s veep problem, Cruz’s scheme to sink Trump in California, Sanders’ strange superdelegate shift (and more!) Posted: 12 Apr 2016 11:34 AM PDT Unconventional is Yahoo News' guide to the ins and outs of this year's crazy presidential conventions. The GOP's 2016 "veepstakes" is likely to be weirder than anything we've seen before. If none of the candidates arrive at the convention in Cleveland with a majority of delegates (for the first time since 1984) and no candidate manages to cobble together a majority on the first ballot either (for the first time since 1952), it will means chaos, maneuvering and multiple rounds of presidential balloting — which in turn almost guarantees that the GOP's 2016 vice presidential candidate will be chosen in one of five very odd ways.

John Kasich and 14 percent for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

The debate over the pages, which allegedly indicates that the 19 Saudi Arabian nationals who carried out the deadly attacks received some kind of support from the government in Riyadh, has ebbed and flowed ever since the report was published in 2002. The controversy has flared up again ahead of President Obama's upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia for an April 21 summit with the Gulf Cooperation Council.
