Trump Will Feature Sports Stars at Convention

https://politicalwire.com/2016/06/11/trump-will-feature-sports-stars-at-convention/

"SNIP..............

Donald Trump “has some ideas for how to jazz up the Republican National Convention, and he previewed one at a rally on Friday evening: a ‘winner’s evening’ of sports celebrities and champions addressing the convention rather than politicians,” the New York Times reports.

He said he wanted to have them all address the convention as examples of “winners,” rather than “these people, these politicians who are going to get up and speak and speak and speak.”
