The Ultimate Reality Show: Trump Could Speak All Four Nights At GOP Convention

Donald Trump plans to doing things a little bit differently at the Republican National Convention.

According to a report from Politico, Trump and his campaign are looking to up the ante and prolong the political suspense at the convention. Trump may use the Cleveland gathering to roll out a cabinet and his VP, sources told Politico.

“Announcing the vice presidential nominee before the convention is like announcing winner of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ before the final show is on the air,” one Trump campaign source told Politico. “This is one of the only opportunities to create tension and drama in the whole show. You better believe Mr. Trump understands that and is looking to maximize that.”

Instead of just talking one night in primetime, it is possible that he could talk four consecutive nights, Politico reported.
