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.

Then he shouldn’t have sought her endorsement for Iowa.
The losers are not coming to the convention. McCain lost in spite of Palin and her endorsements have been golden. Seems she was the first to endorse Trump and then he won everything from there on, hmmm?
From your keyboard to Donald’s ear.
Jeremy, don’t even pretend you care.
I’d love to see her there. Actually, I’d love her to be the nominee. I’d be willing to draft her just to get the #NeverTrump crowd to shut up about how they want anybody but The Donald. But I can understand perfectly at this point why she wouldn’t want to.
I agree, I love her and her politics but she needs a voice coach. She has a good voice but her delivery when she is emphasizing an important point comes off shrill and has a whiney pitch. She has tons of potential and I think would be a wonderful sec. of interior in a Trump administration.
She is the only reason I voted for McBackstabber in 2008 and I mean the only reason. He is pure white trash.
Exactly
public speaking is this single most important skill of a politician. In fact if it were not for this skill we would have never known Bill Clinton or Obama.
Sorry
Some people are still butthurt over Sarah Palin endorsing Donald Trump over Ted Cruz, but they need to put it aside now because Trump needs Palin on the ticket to beat Hillary, and many more of us need to see her on the ticket to be convinced that Trump is for real.
“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.”

Well said, LDD, well said.
Good grief can't you people just let that go?
Did you also deride Cruz for his Mr. Haney impersonation?
Maybe she could use some professional advice but you need some professional help with your Palin derangement syndrome.
Most powerful actors are conservative then?
No. Sarah Palin “comes off” as a person doing the things she
wants to do AND taking care of her challenging family at the
same time. . . AND having fun now, which she richly deserves!
. . And perhaps SHE might just regard YOU as coming off as a
“crazy loon” these days. “Looney” is in the eye of the
beholder.
When the constructive criticism is just an insult disguised as help, like those that seem to be suffering with Palin Derangement Syndrome, especially those with no record of accomplishments that hold a candle to Palin's own.
That’s odd after all the support she’s given. :(
