Flynn will get a Defense related post, Corker as Secretary of State, Christie as attorney general, Gingrich as Interior.

Gingrich would be better as Budget Director or at Treasury. Jan Brewer would better fit for Interior.

Trump Jr. wants interior. He'll get it.

Nah, would be unlawful. You can't appoint direct relatives to the cabinet.

Tell that to JFK.

The law was changed since then. I think already in the Johnson-Administration.

Can you cite this? I'm not necessarily doubting you but I've never heard that.

postal revenue and federal salary act of 1967

Thanks; I was just sure that it was enacted during LBJ's presidency.

That list of speakers is downright pathetic.

Where is the showbiz?!

He's not going to speak, he's just going to Tebow for about 10 minutes.

Wow! Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine we could get a catch like Tim Tebow. Trump can work miracles!

LOL.
Well, I guess that will capture some women to watch the convention. Especially if he is exercising shirtless.

Christie and Gingrich will be in a prospective Trump administration for sure.

I don't even know who half of the people are, most of them are not elected officials just activists and celebrities.


Ha, no she's not attending because Trump doesn't want an embarrassment at the convention.

I'm surprised he hasn't tapped Curt Schilling or Tom Brady to speak at the convention. Both supposedly support him. Though Brady plays in a very diverse league where his appearance at such an event will definitely hurt his standing on his team (legend or not...) Schilling I thought would definitely be there in some capacity

Pity Johnny Manziel isn't making a triumphant return to Cleveland.  That would have been showbiz.

Didn't see this added, but my Local newspaper is reporting that a resident is going to speak during the illegal immigration part of the show. Like Jamiel Shaw, her son was killed by an illegal immigrant and is part of the Remembrance Project in Southern California.

Per Trump's Twitter, the motion to unbind the delegates failed by a vote of 12-87. It needed 28 votes to receive consideration on the convention floor.

I'm hearing Palin is refusing to go to the convention because she wasn't picked as VP?

Palin isn't going because her son is in jail for beating his girlfriend.

That happened in January.  And according to the Alaska Dispatch News, Track Palin is not going to jail - Monday, he entered a plea deal that avoids jail time but requires alcohol treatment.  That plea was entered on Monday, so if Palin wanted to go to the convention, this isn't stopping her.

Unsurprisingly, Ben Sasse is skipping the convention:

Cruz and Rubio's delegates pushed all the way to the back (With the exception of Wisconsin)

At least American Samoa got some decent seats
