| But with another plagiarism scandal brewing over his son’s speech to the RNC and apparent concerns about the vast swaths of empty seats in the Quicken Loans Arena mezzanine during primetime speeches, the campaign still has a long way to go to realize the much-ballyhooed “convention bump” in polling that comes after what should be a candidate’s crowning achievement. | But with another plagiarism scandal brewing over his son’s speech to the RNC and apparent concerns about the vast swaths of empty seats in the Quicken Loans Arena mezzanine during primetime speeches, the campaign still has a long way to go to realize the much-ballyhooed “convention bump” in polling that comes after what should be a candidate’s crowning achievement. |
