According to this story, the Democratic national convention in 2016 will start either July 25 or August 22. The 2016 Republican convention will start July 18. Early August is not used for major party presidential conventions because the Olympics take place then, and no major party wants its national convention overshadowed by the Olympics.
Generally, the two major party conventions are held fairly close together in time. The last time the gap between the two major party conventions was greater than five weeks was in 1972, when Democrats convened on July 10 but Republicans didn’t convene until August 21, a gap of six weeks. Tradition dictates that the major party that holds the White House meets later than the other major party.

MORE or LESS CONTROL FREAK STATISM in the brains of the Prez nominees (due to the rigged robot party hack platforms by the special interest gangs) ???
Thus – more or less WARS and/or WELFARE – aka national bankruptcy ???
