I think that the V.P. candidate usually addresses the convention so they should have enough time to prepare, no?
I kinda remember that in 1980 it was right before the starting of the R convention when Reagan announced that it was Bush.
Just something different to muse about..

(998 posts)I think he's dragging it out because he really doesn't want to have a running mate. If he picks someone even remotely normal they could be a threat to his absolute rule over the party.
As bad as a Rubio or Vance would be. We know they wouldn't try to destroy America to commit crimes and stay in office forever.
Trump probably wants to pick the lamest, most non-threatening person he can find.
