Let’s take bets on how many minutes go by in the speech before Ryan mentions Trump. Over/under Christie on Romney at the 2012 RNC?

Remember, #CheetoJesus tweeted on July 6: “Convention speaker schedule to be released tomorrow.” Nothing yet. So far, then, it’s Ryan and the entire Trump family.

I don’t think so. I’m voting. I don’t care about any of Clinton’s baggage, which incidentally is vastly overblown. Regardless, she could be dragging a three mile train of the BS they accuse her of and I’d vote for her over Trump. If I was ANY elected Democrat I’d be on board when called to endorse and campaign for her. Why Republicans view Trump differently is a puzzle. Sure, he’s crazy. These same people were fully prepared to install an insane person, Sarah Palin, one heartbeat from the Oval Office. Their refusal to be all in for Trump is odd. I don’t think it lasts.
