Normally, the presumptive nominee's campaign keeps tight control over what the speakers are allowed to talk about, to make sure everyone's on message. But the Trump campaign is sufficiently disorganized that I'm not sure they're going to bother. Will be interesting to see who goes way off script.
Romney didn't do the best job either. Empty Chair was a flop, and Christie didn't even say the word "Romney" until 17 minutes into his speech.
IIRC, no one vetted Clint Eastwood's speech because he's a famous actor or something. In the case of Christie, I think he actually deviated from the talking points he said he was going to make.
That's always possible. Someone can always tell you that they'll talk about X, but then once they're on live TV there's nothing to stop them from saying whatever they want. However, in the case of Trump, I'm more wondering if there's going to be any vetting of the speeches at all. I mean, if he's giving out a speech to Cruz without even getting an endorsement, then what the heck is going on?
I'm pretty sure they're having trouble getting enough speakers to fill the slots.
