This is Donald Trump's Dream Line-Up of Convention Speakers
He wants "winners," not "clown" politicians to represent him.

BY PETER WADE | JUN 11, 2016

What do NFL quarterbacks Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger, UFC President Dana White and former Nascar CEO Brian France have in common? Donald Trump wants all of them to speak at the Republican National Convention in July, the New York Times reports.

Trump told a crowd gathered in Virginia Friday night that he wanted "winners" to speak at the convention instead of "these politicians who are going to get up and speak and speak and speak."

Throwing shade at Trump endorser and possible political hostage Chris Christie, Trump said, "One guy spoke for, like, 45 minutes. He never mentioned Romney's name," in a not-so-veiled reference to Christie's much-maligned 2012 convention speech.

"Our country needs to see winners," Trump concluded. "We don't see winners anymore. We have a bunch of clowns running this country. We have people who don't know what the hell they're doing running our country."

So, by "winners," Trump means a quarterback who has been punished by the league for cheating and an accused rapist? Since we're going down that road, why not have Mike Tyson and Ray Rice speak, too?

Trump wants Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger to speak at GOP convention

Presidential candidate Donald Trump wants sports stars like Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger to speak on his behalf at the GOP Convention

Hopefully, you’re sitting down this one, but U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump wants to do things a little differently at the Republican National Convention.

Instead of having other politicians get on the stage and sound the horn for his ability as a political leader, Trump wants to reach out to sports stars instead.

“We’re going to do it a little different, if it’s O.K.,” Trump said per the NY Times. “I’m thinking about getting some of the great sports people who like me a lot.”
Sports stars that Trump targeted to endorse him include former NCAA coach Bobby Knight, UFC president Dana White and NFL quarterbacks Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger. Trump called these guys all “champions” saying he likes winners.

That thinking may be true, but Trump may also want to reconsider the group he is attempting to put together as each has their own baggage as speakers.

Knight choked one of his student athletes in 1997 while at Indiana, Brady is currently facing a four-game suspension for allegedly cheating, Roethlisberger has twice been accused of sexual assault and Dana White recently banned a reporter from UFC for breaking news before his company did.

It will be interesting to see if Trump ends up reaching out to any supporters who don’t have sordid pasts.

Brady and Roethlisberger will be in training camp and likely won't be allowed to skate out to Trump's carnival.

I can imagine him having this fantasy/daydream about having everyone he ran against dressed up as poodles and jumping through flaming hoops.

LOL ~ I think Trump feels everyone has "sordid" in their lives [it's what he knows], and that's why he thought people would fall for his lies on Ted Cruz.

The flag embrace [and is that a kiss?] was odd, and that swath of hair that goes up over his ear like an epoxied wave, just adds to his eccentricity. :#@$%:

Hah! There you go, dancing bears.  Just figured Trump would imagine the defeat and terror in their eyes as they ran closer and closer to the flames. :)

I hear he wants Burt Reynolds to deliver a truck with a pregnant elephant right into the convention hall. Imagine: what better symbol for the rebirth of America!
