The Trump Family Circus Is Raising Its Tent. Don't Miss the Show!

Since The Donald™ couldn't find any prominent Republicans to speak at his clown show of a convention, he's booked in everyone related to him to take their places and speak. We'll get to hear from Melania (subtitles provided), Ivanka, his wayward sons and everyone else in his extended family.

Where are those leaders he's planning to appoint to cabinet posts? What of former Republican Presidents, Vice Presidents and candidates from other years? Where are those bright stars from the Republican-controlled Congress to speak and boost his campaign? None of them are anywhere to be seen.

The Republican Convention is truly going to be "The Trump Family Circus," featuring Mike "The Hater" Pence as the Ringmaster.

Watch the Elephant parade and the March of the Clowns!
Look up to see the circus acrobats jumping through hoops and swinging through their aerial acts!
See the Lion Tamer be eaten by his menagerie!

It's going to be the Gratingest Show on Earth! Tune in. Don't miss a heart-stopping moment!

I love how they are spinning it as "a chance for voters to get a more personal understanding of the candidate" as opposed to "all the other rats already jumped ship on this shit show so nobody's left but his family."

Great point--thank you!
Now, what would a TP Administration look like? Who (or what) would he fill those appointments with?

It certainly will be fun to see what Duh Donald™ will be doing for an encore.

No drinking games, either. That alone would probably kill me.

Compared to this upcoming dumpster fire, the Democratic convention will be a love feast.
