CLEVELAND — A night highlighting the tragedy in Benghazi, Libya. An appearance by onetime football star Tim Tebow. A presentation detailing former President Bill Clinton’s sexual misconduct.
Donald J. Trump, the presumptive nominee, has been promising a different kind of Republican National Convention, and plans obtained by The New York Times show that he is eager to put his showbiz stamp on the party’s gathering, even as he struggles to attract A-list talent.
The roster of speakers obtained by The Times, and confirmed by two people with direct knowledge of the convention planning, reveals a lineup lacking many of the party’s rising stars. Instead, it features some of Mr. Trump’s eclectic collection of friends, celebrities and relatives, from his Slovenian supermodel wife to professional golfer Natalie Gulbis...
The list, which is subject to change, as obtained by The New York 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; Tiffany Trump; Donald Trump Jr. and Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin.
Night 3: Ms. Bondi; Ms. Collins; Newt Gingrich, a former House speaker; Senator Ted Cruz of Texas; Eric Trump; Ms. Gulbis; and the nominee for vice president.
Night 4: Mr. Tebow; Representative Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee; Gov. Mary Fallin of Oklahoma; Reince Priebus, the Republican National Committee chairman; Gov. Rick Scott of Florida; Mr. Thiel; Mr. Barrack; Ivanka Trump; Donald J. Trump.

I guess Newt isn’t VP judging by that schedule.
Eric Trump following Cruz seems like a good plan. Just in case Cruz starts up with his self-righteous preachifying and does not endorse Trump, Eric will have a follow-up slapdown.
I don’t recall ever.... EEEEEEEver in my life watching much of a Republican Convention. Okay... maybe some of night three and most of night four.
THIS YEAR I’M WATCHING EVERY STINKIN’ MINUTE!!!!!
Maybe Sarah is busy with a V.P. candidate acceptance speech.
I thought Don King would have a spot.
As much as I love Sarah Palin, she really needs to spend some quality time with a voice coach. The message is spot on, the delivery not so much. She comes across as shrill and undisciplined, as opposed to intelligent and focused.
Hmmmm. Gov Pence or Gov Christie is VP
Your comment is a lie. If you ‘love Sarah Palin” you would not be so petty as to pitch of her voice, you would be championing the pitch of her ideas and the passion she has for this Republic....USA!
Ha!
I used to love, love, love Sarah Palin. But she comes off as a crazy loon these days.
Bingo...
And Pence is not on the list. Bet he is the VP??? Who is Mr. Barrack?
Onla in America :)
I know he killed a guy, but you gotta love his enthusiasm :)
In the end, is he more crooked than investment banks washing drug money or car manufacturers not giving a ### about people dying.
“Who is Mr. Barrack?” An empty chair.
NO, my comment is a harsh truth you refuse to see.
Sarah Palin is a very bright woman (whom is capable of aiding the USA in its recovery from the obummer) that has an image problem created by the MSM.
Unfortunately she has NOT become more eloquent and descriptive of her vision, instead she has become a caricature of herself. She shouts and harps and carries on. The message is still there, but the delivery is SO BAD that unless you know what she is saying, you cannot hear her over her own noise.
Her message would likely still get through to the masses, but for how strident she has allowed her voice to become. She has to know how awful she sounds when she gets excited.
That’s why I mentioned a voice coach.
That YOU cannot accept that she needs some professional advice speaks more to your cultish affinities than it does to my genuine hopes for her political future.
it’s been eight years.. she’s not running for anything. I hope she has a happy life as a contributor to our political discourse but let it go already. Nobody is waiting at her door to ask for her advice.
time to move on.
I have a photo of her wearing Carhartts. What’s not to love about that?
Incidentally, I would strongly suggest you don’t ever call me a liar again.
That was what got me to respond to your scurrilous, uninformed, ignorant, pathetic excuse of a post.
I have MANY faults, but prevarification is very low on the list
