Burlingame, CA was in the political spotlight this weekend as it played host to the state's GOP convention and all three Republican presidential candidates.

Burlingame, California is usually a sleepy little town with fewer than 30,000 residents located in San Mateo County.

This past weekend, though, the town was in the political spotlight as it played host to the state's GOP convention.

Donald Trump, John Kasich, and Ted Cruz were all in attendance. As were protestors, police and national media outlets who haven't been to a Golden State GOP convention in quite some time.

Scott Shafer, senior editor for KQED's California Politics and Government Desk, joined Take Two to share the weekend's highlights.
