One of the most unexpected candidates has won the Republican delegates' votes. Donald Trump will officially be the GOP presidential candidate on the ballot this November.
"I was among those who a year ago was, 'oh, it's a summer fling and then he's done.' But he's really captured that palpable anger that's out there, and these folks are really angry," said John Zogby, a political analyst and founder of the Zogby Poll.
He said Trump is a perfect example of an anti-establishment and anti-party candidate. Zogby said the reason Trump has won the party's vote is because of the division that's existed for many years.
"The GOP as we know it is dead. Long live the king. If Donald Trump wins, and he can win, it's a Donald Trump victory, not a GOP victory," said Zogby.
Republican Senator Joseph Griffo agrees that Trump may be changing the way the nation looks at the Republican party.
"Is this an anomaly, and if things go bad, then does it go back? Or does it just end?" asked Griffo. "Or if there's a victory, is it a new type of party that has now been developed from its origins? So a lot of this will be determined."
While he may not agree with the nominee on every issue, Griffo still believes the Republican party has unified around Trump.
"What I think has resonated is identifying and listening to what the American people have expressed as concerns, and that is national security," said Griffo.
Analysts, however, say it's not a traditional kind of unity.
"The only kind of unity is the 'Hate Hillary,' 'Lock Her Up' kind of unity, and I suppose that's what they're looking for, and they're probably going to get that," said Zogby.
Zogby anticipates next week's Democratic National Convention will be very similar, as Hillary Clinton will work to rally all anti-Trump voters.
