At least eight Republicans in the House are going overseas next week, possibly to give themselves an excuse to skip the convention:

Is there any evidence Trump would have lost if all the primaries were closed?  Based on what I've seen in exit polls, Trump seemed to do similarly well with indies as registered Republicans.

There's only evidence that Cruz and Rubio did substantially worse among Independents. Kasich was the one who massively over-performed with Indies.

The list must surely be coming tomorrow? That way they can get two news cycles.

I'm starting to think there will never be one. If he just hypes the "surprise" that will go a long way towards covering up how unpopular he is.

Flynn being a speaker on day 2 makes it seem pretty unlikely that he'll be the VP pick.  I also noticed that Newt is a speaker on day 3.

Mukasey previously said that he wouldn't support Trump, and in fact co-signed this open letter denouncing him:

http://warontherocks.com/2016/03/open-letter-on-donald-trump-from-gop-national-security-leaders/

So unclear what his speaking slot means re: his current disposition towards Trump.  Is he going to endorse him?  Of course, Cruz hasn't endorsed Trump either, yet is on the speaking roster as well.

Nobody is listed as the keynote speaker in the article.  Does that mean there won't be one?

lol @ Benghazi focus

Is Mrs. Collins Susan Collins?  Not who I was expecting.  Mr. Theil is that Peter Theil?  Mr. Barrack, Thomas Barrack Jr.?

Tim Tebow I guess is his football star.  I don't see Bobby Knight?

Nope.  As it says in the article, it's Eileen Collins, "the first woman to command a space shuttle mission".

You wouldn't really want Susan Collins to speak at the RNC anyway.

It's not a complete list.  And anyway, it was already announced that Ryan will be speaking.

This Politico story lists a slew of additional speakers for the convention:

Also a bunch of speakers listed here:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/07/14/gop-convention-speakers-trump/87070626/

Though I think those might be the same names as the Politico story, just in a different format.
