According to Bloomberg, the Trump campaign is looking to bring in a “broad slate” of celebrities and sports stars.

And those sports stars apparently include Bobby Knight, Mike Tyson, and Mike Ditka.

...


Now, some people have already taken note of Trump inviting Tyson, a convicted rapist, to the convention. But Trump has defended Tyson before, and made some comments at the time of his sentencing arguing that Tyson was “railroaded” by the young woman who he was convicted of raping.

Apparently the 75% disapproval rating amongst women isn't high enough.

1. LOL - I am telling you guys, Trump does not want to be president

He wants the adoration and attention of running, but he sure as hell does not want to win. LMAO. Either that or he is the world's biggest idiot. A possibility, I will concede.

2. Tyson had some rapey things to say about Trump supporter Sarah Palin in 2011

Really horrifying stuff. Train wreck.

3. I think Trump would love the IDEA of being president. Just not doing the actual work involved. -nt-

11. I still say Trump is a plant

Put in place by #42. The aides can say all they want about that phone conversation, but I would try to find the worst candidate possible. I do think that #42 and Trump never planned for Trump to get the nomination, just for Trump to pull one of the candidates so far to the right that he/she would have been unacceptable to the American people.

I bet at his concession speech, Trump will yell "Ya'll got PUNK'D!!!"

13. I believed that from nearly the start of his campaign, then I wavered a bit.

Now, I'm back to believing he's trying to lose. I just hope he hangs around long enough to lose and to take half the GOP down with him.

4. Drumpf denies

"Iron Mike Tyson was not asked to speak at the Convention though I'm sure he would do a good job if he was. The media makes everything up!"

8. Guess not. Unless Tyson claims he did ask.

9. The Republican convention is going to be trash

10. That would be nothing new.

12. The only way to make the convention worse would be to stage it at the Brazilian

Olympic venue.

14. Some real stories are too bizarre to be felt real

This is one of them as I wondered if it was from the Onion.

15. so trump thinks his opinion is more important than a jury's?

That's certainly not news. I wonder if the rnc will allow it. They've never cared about women, eitherr.
