It’s also interesting who is NOT speaking, neither of the Bush Presidents, Mitt Romney and John McCain. Of course Jeb Bush won’t be attending, he’s still busy trashing Trump. They won’t even attend the convention nor will the Governor of the state where the convention is being held, John Kasich. Rumors were that Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow would be speaking but he made it clear he would not be among the speakers. Sarah Palin did not make the speaker list.
The speaker’s schedule from the NY Times:
Night 1: A Benghazi focus, followed by border patrol agents and Mr. Shaw, whose son was killed by an undocumented immigrant. Senator Cotton, Mr. Giuliani, Melania Trump, Ms. Ernst and others.
Night 2: A focus on the economy: Mr. White, president of the U.F.C.; Asa Hutchinson, the governor of Arkansas; Michael Mukasey, the former United States attorney general; Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a vice-presidential possibility; Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader; Mr. Trump’s daughter Tiffany; his son Donald Jr.; and Governor Walker.
Night 3: Ms. Bondi; Ms. Collins; Newt Gingrich, a former House speaker; Senator Ted Cruz of Texas; Mr. Trump’s son Eric; Ms. Gulbis; and the nominee for vice president.
Night 4:
Mr. Tebow; Representative Blackburn; Governor Fallin; Reince Priebus, the Republican National Committee chairman; Governor Scott; Mr. Thiel; Mr. Barrack; Mr. Trump’s daughter Ivanka; and Mr. Trump.
Sounds like a fun time. <sarcasm>
