Denver (CNN)Donald Trump is turning to his family, sports figures and business leaders to fill speaking slots at the Republican National Convention later this month as scores of prominent Republican leaders continue to refuse to line up behind their controversial nominee-to-be.
Trump announced Friday that his wife and children "are all going to be speaking" at the nominating convention that kicks off in just over two weeks. And the real estate mogul has also promised to add sports figures and other non-politicians who are supporting him to the roster of convention speakers, which would set the 2016 convention apart from past conventions packed with current and former elected officials.
The unconventional programming, which Trump has said will include a "winners' night," comes as his campaign and the Republican National Committee are facing an unusual problem unseen in past conventions: a lack of interest in speaking slots from many party elders and rising stars.

You mean Kasich’s dad was a mailman? that was almost as shocking as when I found John Kerry served in Vietnam.
He and Knight are both on the list.
Winners. That’s what is being celebrated.
Building on greatness not losers !
Yeah, the same John EFin Kerry who should have been shot for treason.
Yup, that would be a great group of people.
So has KT Mc Farlan She would be another good speaker
More CNN bullshite: for each category they mention where they claim there are “scores” of people backing out, they name only one or two per category, and it’s the same one or two that we’ve heard about for weeks.
blurry eyes and lump in throat, this will be so so powerful at the Convention.
These Republicans forget that elephants have long memories, and they will be remembered by our base as they traitors they are.
“Trump is the most unpopular politician on the national scene...”
What a great endorsement!
I know you jest...just wanted to throw out there, pretty sure Robbins is a Liberal. During his TED talk he though Al Gore’s crack about having Presidency stolen from him was worthy of getting off the stage and high-fiving him.
Think Clint will be there?
'Rising stars'...ye gads; every time I hear that I want to put my first thru the computer monitor. FU, 'rising stars'...you are NOTHING but a bunch of filthy, stinking political whores.
Just announced: Serena Williams and boxing promoter Don King.
Make sure you send that to the trump campaign. It is VERY moving !
“...as scores of prominent Republican leaders continue to refuse to line up behind their controversial nominee-to-be.
Only the Goebbel’s propagandist pigs at CNN would consider GOPe traitors “prominent.” CNN rats need to get back into the clown car and peddle off the stage.
Buchanan’s voice is too high, and when he gives a speech, his voice settles into a menacing-sounding monotone.
I met Buchanan a couple of years ago, and he said something so insulting and obnoxious I was struck dumb. I wish I had said, “I’ve wanted to meet you for years. I’m sorry to find out you’re such a jerk.”
Wonder if Michelle Bachman will speak?!? She attended the evangelical meeting and is on its board.
“Does Trump even want traitor republicans or RINOs or politicians to speak?”
No conservative wants to listen to Dems-lite bitching and moaning that Yeb isn’t standing on the platform on his tippy-toes.
This is going to be great. A new party. A lot of unemployed useless RINOs—Club For Growth, USChofCommerce, and on-and-on.
Maybe they can train their replacements ....
[Hopefully some films too !
Beautiful family pictures.
Maybe some sharing from ALL the people Trump has helped]
A montage of FREE REPUBLIC TRUMP GRAPHICS set to “STARS & STRIPES FOREVER would be great! They could add in some Hill and Bill ones too.
Hill and Bill in prison stripes ?
