Tim Tebow, Rudy Giuliani and Peter Thiel named as Republican National Convention speakers [tr]

The Republican National Convention will include a presentation focusing on Bill Clinton's legendary sexual misconduct, and an entire night highlighting the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi, Libya. Football player Tim Tebow, Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White, openly gay venture capitalist Peter Thiel and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani will speak, along with all of Trump's adult children. But missing from a list obtained by The New York Times, and another released by the Republican National Committee, is retired Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight. Presumptive nominee Donald Trump has touted Knight's endorsement heavily on the campaign trail, and suggested he would make an appearance.

[C19fan]

Looks like Trump is amping up the star power.

[SamAdams76]

Clearly not your father’s Republican Party convention.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Peter Thiel is a surprising, good choice.

[Dr. Ursus]

Incoming!!

Wished they had room for Diamond and Silk. They were on the Trump train from June 2015.

[SamAdams76]

I’m sure we will see Diamond and Silk in a cameo appearance.

[Lower Deck]

Thank got the rumor of Mike Tyson having a role has proven to be false.

[Fantasywriter]

Newt coming immediately after Cruz is a stroke of genius. If Ted steps out of line, it will be Newt’s job to give him two in the hat (verbally, of course).

[Trumplican]

Newt is listed as a speaker on night 3 and then “the VP nominee” I didn’t see Pence listed.

Head fake, or Newt isn’t the VP?

[mkjessup]

That’s a good list of speakers, but if Senator Saint Teddy has not come out and endorsed Donald Trump prior to the convention and told his deluded followers to knock off their subversive activities, bounce his ass right out.

[Paulie]

I agree.

They not only came out when everyone else was calling Trump a clown, among other things, but being black I’m sure they took some heat from the race hustlers as well.

D&S displayed a great amount of courage, imo, and deserve a place on that stage.

[grania]

It's kinda' cool that Scott Walker is listed as the final speaker. What a slap in the face to Governor Kasick, who refuses to honor the pledge he signed and has said he won't be in Cleveland for the converntion.

Have you ever heard of anything so bizarre? The "Republican" (Illuminati) Governor of OH not speaking at his party's convention in his own state?

[napscoordinator]

The best are Sean Duffy and Scott Walker. Two awesome conservatives.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Tebow will be 31 years of age in Nov. 2018. How do we put him on the fast track? Gov? Too high. Senate? Inexperienced for Prime time. I say Lt. Gov. What do you think?

[Harpotoo]

Speaker Paul Ryan????

THat’s like inviting obummer to a cops funeral!

[napscoordinator]

I would love LT Governor under the governor of Pam bundy. Florida would have a winning team there. Of course Tim can run for governor after.

[chrisinoc]

CNN reports that Jamiel Shaw Sr. will speak on the first night. If true, another great choice.

[SoCar]

Jamiel’s dad is a great choice. Sean Smith's mother would be another great one.
