Bill Cameron’s News maker guest this week is Tim Schneider.

Chairman, of the Illinois Republican Party. The Republican National Convention is about to start and Tim is leading the Illinois delegation. Will Donald Trump receive enough support to become the GOP’s candidate? Is Pence the right Vice President Choice. Also, Tim comments about the Senate race between Senator Mark Kirk and Tammy Duckworth.

Bill Cameron is joined by Ray Long of the Chicago Tribune, Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times, and Greg Hinz of Crain’s Chicago Business. Leading the conversation is the RNC and Illinois’ place in the vote. Is Mike Pence a good choice for Vice President? Will he be able to encourage some undecided voters to vote for Trump? Can Trump “stick to the script” or will he choose to avoid using a teleprompter for his speech? How will the Trump nomination effect the Senate campaign for Mark Kirk? He says he isn’t supporting Trump, but will that decision change?

Finally, Adam Chappelle updates us on the biggest sporting events of the summer in the city of Chicago… soccer. A record 55,000 people attended the Copa American Centenario game held in June, and the US Woman’s National Team drew 30,000 attendees last week. Another competition between teams from Milan, Italy and Munich Germany is scheduled for next weekend.
