Did any one else watch Rachel Maddow's history lesson on the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago?

Dems in 1968 nominated Humphrey despite the fact he didn't win any primaries.

And how the 2016 GOP convention might be similar when the nominee is someone who the primary voters didn't want.

It was very informative. She was talking about how Senior GOP officials are trying to find a way to block Trump at the convention.

If there is something similar at the republican convention it could turn into a full scale riot and people could get hurt. The republicans in charge of the convention must be worried about this.
