With the big wins yesterday we are one step closer to a contested convention. This means that no one contender has a majority of votes in an primary election, in this case, for the Republican party for their presidential nomination. So, as an American voter, what can I expect?
It means that there will be a lot of talking and debating in the Republican party as they try to broker deals. It could even lead to some fist fights within their congress, but probably not. More than likely as a general public we may hear really great reasons why certain candidates are strong and should be supported by the party, as well as greater communication within the party and new associations leading to a stronger party. As a nation we should be paying attention. There are many hard questions being asked around the world right now, questions about ISIL in Syria, nuclear threat in North Korea, the continuing refugee crisis, the dollar's depreciation, inflation looming with the increase of minimum wage, and more. These are the things that the next president will be facing. These are the things that the contested convention will have to weigh in looking at someone the party will stand behind as they honor the voters' wishes.
This is history in the making and we're all a part of it. It won't be left up to chance like that 3 point shot Villanova made to win in the final game of March Madness.
