Unconventional #1: The GOP's veep problem, Cruz's scheme to sink Trump in California, Sanders' strange superdelegate shift (and more!)Unconventional is Yahoo News' guide to the ins and outs of this year's crazy presidential conventions.

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.

The Mysterious 28 Pages on 9/11 That Everyone’s Talking About

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 03:15 AM PDT

The Mysterious 28 Pages on 9/11 That Everyone's Talking AboutThe White House is coming under renewed pressure to declassify 28 pages of a congressional report on the Sept. 11, 2001 hijackings before President Obama leaves office next year. 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.
