This leaves many questions unanswered. We were supposed to know the speakers last Wednesday but the dog ate Trump’s homework, or something. Will the entire family be speaking, including Tiffany and Barron, or is it just the older spawn and Melania?* Any former pro wrestlers? Faded beauty pageant queens? Kardashians? Your imagination runs riot with so little solid information.

*Not a joke. Melania Trump is set to speak at the RNC.

Maybe McCarthy is auditioning for Speaker of the House (again). If he can appear semi-rational in this venue, against a backdrop of gibbering idiots and preening narcissists, maybe Ryan will turn the gavel over to him right there and then.

Perhaps he’ll talk about the far rightwing government of “Hungria” or say things like:

We must engage this war of radical Islam if our life depended on it. Because it does. …

This “safe zone” would create a stem a flow of refugees. …

Unlike during the surge in Iraq when Petraeus and Crocker had an effective politically strategy to match the military strategy. …

We have isolated Israel, while bolding places like Iran. …

The absence of leadership over the past six years has had a horrific consequences all across the globe.

I honestly believe that McCarthy is dyslexic, when he speaks he has all the words he wants to say they just come out in the wrong order. I don’t think this is only happens when he speaks with a teleprompter, but even when answering questions.

There was a day and time when the conventions made for interesting drama.

This is neither the day nor the time.

They Honestly haven’t been interesting for years.

McCarthy will bring all his political smarts to bear…like this moment of actual truth (*something the Republican Party hates with all its might) a moment which cost him the Speaker’s position: “Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping."

A shameful attempt to make Trump look smart!

And reflected in the Trump ‘Real America’ Chorale which will lift the spirits of all the Baggers at the convention.

Does anyone really think the GOP (or Cleveland) will still exist after the yuge Trumpfest?

I think Cleveland should build a wall to save themselves from the approaching vacuum of wisdom / morals / honor, etc…

That is going to be good !

I imagine it would be something like Avila, Spain, but with virtual, digital masony as Trumpy and Rick Perry envision.
