Speakers at Donald Trump’s Convention: Tim Tebow, Peter Thiel, but No Sarah Palin? (HRC GP)

The list, which is subject to change, as obtained by The New York Times:

Night 1: A Benghazi focus, followed by border patrol agents and Mr. Shaw, whose son was killed by an undocumented immigrant. Senator Cotton, Mr. Giuliani, Melania Trump, Ms. Ernst and others.

Night 2: A focus on the economy: Mr. White, president of the U.F.C.; Asa Hutchinson, the governor of Arkansas; Michael Mukasey, the former United States attorney general; Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a vice-presidential possibility; Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader; Tiffany Trump; Donald Trump Jr. and Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin.

Night 3: Ms. Bondi; Ms. Collins; Newt Gingrich, a former House speaker; Senator Ted Cruz of Texas; Eric Trump; Ms. Gulbis; and the nominee for vice president.

Night 4: Mr. Tebow; Representative Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee; Gov. Mary Fallin of Oklahoma; Reince Priebus, the Republican National Committee chairman; Gov. Rick Scott of Florida; Mr. Thiel; Mr. Barrack; Ivanka Trump; Donald J. Trump.

Even as they finalized the list this week, Mr. Trump’s campaign aides and party officials were also working behind the scenes to stave off any challenges to Mr. Trump’s nomination on the convention floor next week.

Plus what exactly are they going to add: Lots on their father the Trumpo. Bet that gets el Trumpo super excited. Second to listening to himself, he loves attention on himself.

That's pretty pathetic. Like having only your family present at your birthday party, because the other, cooler kids don't want to come.

Economy night with speakers from states with really crap economies. I'm surprised the Donald didn't also seek out Sam Brownback who has put Kansas in deep doo-doo. I know Scotty will contribute a lot--how to take a state with a healthy economy and send into a dumpster fire in less than 8 years. I'm surprised there won't be a panel of Koch brothers to explain to all of us why they need all of the nation's money.
