The modern day political convention is like a wedding, the Republican Party playing the role of the wedding planner in charge of booking the hall and reserving the hotel rooms but it's the bride and groom or the nominee that picks the wedding party, who walks with who, who does the readings.
Well in case you haven't noticed we're entering May still not sure who is walking down the aisle.
"We don't," said Enid Mickelsen RNC Site Selection Committee Chair. "So it makes it a little bit more difficult in terms of some decisions like what kind of stage do you want or what kinds of programming do you want to do," she said.
At this stage in 2012 the party was already beginning to work with the presumptive nominee Mitt Romney before handing the convention over to him.
GOP frontrunner Donald Trump told the Washington Post earlier this month that the Tampa convention was "the single most boring convention I've ever seen."
“It’s very important to put some showbiz into a convention, otherwise people are going to fall asleep,” Trump told the Post. "We don’t have the people who know how to put showbiz into a convention.”
While Trump would like to have input now on the convention Mickelsen said that will have to wait until he or someone else is the nominee.
"Without one it just means we have to make those decisions rather than wait for the nominee to make those decisions and so we're doing the best we can and hope and trust that whoever the candidate or candidates are when the convention opens that they'll be happy with what we've done," she said.
