The GOP convention committee meetings: Here's what you need to know - CBSNews.com
If the Republican National Convention is the GOP's Super Bowl, the committee meetings the week prior could be considered an extremely condensed playoff season. That's where proposals are made, vibrant debates are held, and messes are (hopefully) untangled so that everything can be set for the main show. At the convention next week, July 18-21, the committees will submit their proposals to the entire delegation floor for a vote. That's also, of course, where the full delegation will officially nominate a Republican candidate for president.
GOP's youngest delegates begin summer vacation with eye on convention - CBSNews.com
Joel Crank likes to think his political career began the spring of 2006. He was eight years old and eagerly watched as his father, Jeff Crank, waged a campaign to represent Colorado's fifth Congressional District in the U.S. Congress.

But driven by his support of former GOP candidate Ted Cruz, Crank was inspired to run to be a delegate.

"The first summit produced very little in terms of how we were going to move toward North Korea denuclearization," Pak said.
