NPR takes a deep dive in previewing Donald Trump's acceptance speech tonight at the RNC, noting that his campaign staff say the speech will be modeled off Richard Nixon's 1968 acceptance speech. After dramatic booing of Ted Cruz on stage last night, Mike Pence came out to make the case for his ticket's headliner. In non-RNC news, Frontline asks what's next after a Federal Appeals court struck down voter ID laws in Texas, and the newest campaign finance reports show the Trump passing Clinton among small donor support.
