Who could possibly imagine a repeat of Chicago 1968? In the build-up to that year’s Democratic convention Lyndon Johnson, the US president, dropped out of the race, assassins’ bullets killed Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, and many of America’s inner cities went up in flames. The past is another country, as they say. Yet the closer we get to the 2016 Republican convention in Cleveland, the more its convulsive predecessor looms.
Donald Trump has made clear he would view any outcome to Cleveland other than his nomination as theft. Party insiders, however, make clear that under the rules, which they have yet to draw up, theft could magically become legal — indeed desirable. “I think you’d have riots,” said Mr Trump. Cleveland’s mayor has placed an order for 2,000 riot gear suits. It is hard to see how another nominee could be fixed on the quiet.
