If Trump can't get some top political talent to appear and speak for him at the convention, he will be terribly humiliated. That will be the way in which that convention will be remembered.

People will notice if each of his children and in-laws get valuable, prime-time slots. It will be ugly.

I swear he's on some kind of tranquilizers. They pump him up full of Valium and send him out there. I've never seen a so-called news anchor be so disinterested in getting to the truth of a story, in follow-up questions, in confronting anyone with facts.

This is what we were all hoping for when the circus car pulled out of the tent a year ago. NEVER did we believe we would be so fortunate as to see this complete reality star queen at the head of the garbage heap; but there he is....donald Drumpf. He brings all the racists, bigots, ignorant buffoons OUT of the closet for the whole world to see. Nice job, comb-over.
