The Republican National Committee on Thursday unveiled the list of speakers at next week’s national convention in Cleveland, a roster the party said emphasizes “real world experience” — and includes Donald Trump’s children...

Notable on the list are New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich...

Party leaders House Speaker Paul Ryan, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus are on the list....

Among the many non-politicians — whom the party boasted in a news release are “non-conventional speakers… emphasizing real world experience” — are Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel, oil billionaire Harold Hamm, UFC President Dana White, model and actor Antonio Sabato, Jr., and decorated ex-Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell...

They’re going to be at the convention...who knows...they may end up having a some sort of involvement/speaking part.

I’m glad to see Pastor Mark Burns listed as a speaker. He’ll kick things right off!!

Pence missing? Even as VP, he would still be a speaker. So I think our wonderful media left him off deliberately. They're so clever...

Palin missing...could care less.

I was, and remain, a Ted Cruz fan. I hope he gives Trump one of his BEST speeches ever. We need to win this one.

Rand Paul has been flying under the radar...perhaps he’s the VP pick?

No Pence. No Palin. Hmmmmm?

But Gingrich is on the list. Looks like it's going to be Pence. I like the Gingrich energy but Pence is probably the safer bet for Trump.

There’s been no comments from him, completely overlooked. Just dead silence since the primary.

..........

July 14, 2016 - Jeff Larson, CEO of the 2016 Republican National Convention, today released a partial list
of the speakers who will participate in the week-long, all-star event starting July 18th.

Could well be but this is a partial list which also doesn't include Trump himself.

“Palin missing...could care less.”

I, on the other hand, could NOT care less.

Palin should be honored in some way for her service to the Republican Party but should keep a low profile along with other candidates from losing Republican tickets incl. Romney and John McCain. That’s only sensible.

Re: Pence.....Like I said, the media is just playing their little game.

They had someone on the morning news....splaining to us dumb people...what's good and bad about the 3 finalists.

Whether VP or not, Pence will speak. Nothing else makes sense.

Diamond and Silk were scheduled to speak at a rally outside the RNC Convention and cancelled due to death threats.

I agree. Pence might help with the Midwestern states - which we are going to need to win.

That is just sad.

So, the BLM thugs don’t think D&S’s lives matter? Tolerance for them, but not for the rest of the people. Got it.
