CLEVELAND A night highlighting the tragedy in Benghazi, Libya. An appearance by onetime football star Tim Tebow. A presentation detailing former President Bill Clintons 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 partys 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 partys rising stars. Instead, it features some of Mr. Trumps 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.

FWIW, I'd love to see Jeff Sessions, but as with Gingrich, I'm not sure two old guys is the way to go. Besides that, the US Senate is a sewer far worse than even the most cynical of us imagined (even Lee and Sasse have gone over to the dark side). How does Trump ever deal with that Illuminati haven if Sessions isn't there?
Just checked the cspan schedule.
Yes they are!
Monday it starts at 1pm, then again at 7pm.
Tuesday 5:30pm.
Wednesday 7pm.
I agree
But since she has not bettered herself with an advanced degree or voice or image coaching since 2008, she is stuck in a rut
Maybe she has no desires behind being an middle class wife mother and grandmother with an interesting past
That being said she endorsed trump early and started to campaign for him, then faded - wonder what happened
Your comment is not a lie.

Ha!! Maybe they out to have a computer server representing Hillary as well!
That being said she endorsed trump early and started to campaign for him, then faded - wonder what happenedNothing much...just her husband breaking nearly every bone in his torso due to a horrific snowmobile accident.
They know lots of us love Palin and will try to find any crack available to cause dissent.
She’s still off the playing field months after that and he is and has been on the mend
Has to be something else
Esp if she’s a no show at the gop convention
Please, no Sarah Palin. What has she done, lately?
Do not think that is the entire convention.
Just the Big events. We might have to stream the remainder.
“I used to love, love, love Sarah Palin. But she comes off as a crazy loon these days.”
Same here. I’d say she became too un-serious.
Don W is right: Sarah needs a voice coach...
Having said she has become too un-serious, let me add that I still think she’d make an excellent president.
Palin is 100% genuine American, but it is better to bring in some new faces.
This post is a joke, right? So if we love someone, we cant give constructive criticisms? Please.....
Do you usually go to a public forum and give constructive criticism to your loved ones?
I would take Mrs. Palin’s voice any day over the dulcet babble of a Megin Kelly or maniacal bleat of Cookie Roberts or, God forbid, Hillary’s demonic decibels. Sarah sounds like so many other women who come out of the upper Midwest, who speak plainly, honestly, with logical content and without artifice.
“Remember how Barack Obama had zero family (other than Michelle) give testimony at his conventions? Even today we know very little about his larger family, his past lives. It’s all clouded in mystery. Wonder why.
And Hillary’s family? Are you kidding me? Nothing there except spooky skeletons in dark closets.”
That’s why I call him The Man From Nowhere. She seems more “normal” but after all these years there is no sense of her parents or other family. Just herself, Bill and Chelsea.
I like Palin but her endorsement speech for Trump was painful to watch
