Mr. Ego-- Donald Trump wants BIG speaking slot at RNC--'everyone will watch'

Donald Trump wants a big speaking slot at the Republican National Convention, BuzzFeed reports, asking his Twitter followers to "imagine him speaking at the RNC Convention."

He added: "That's a speech everyone would watch."

One of Trump's advisers told the Daily Caller that Trump's "massive popularity is just one of the many reasons he is being sought as a keynote speaker at the Tampa RNC Convention."

Hard to argue with that. Of course at least a third of the audience would be playing speech bingo and another third would be watching to see if his hair gets fired.

Otherwise everyone would be getting Bingo in the first minute of the speech and it would take all the fun out of it.

They could put him and Newt back to back, and their two speeches alone will last 5 days.

Why did the ratings suck so bad for Celebrity Apprentice? They were FAR from HUUUUUUGE. You lost to the Billboard Music Awards, fercryinoutloud!

Why? Because you suck, that's why.

"RNC" means "convention," so "RNC Convention" would mean "Republican National Convention Convention."
