DNC Convention to include (sane) Republicans

(Assuming they can find any)

This from the Twitter:

Advisers to President Barack Obama are scripting a Democratic National Convention featuring several Republicans in a prime-time appeal to independents — and planning a blistering portrayal of Mitt Romney as a heartless aristocrat who “would devastate the American middle class,” Democratic sources tell POLITICO.

According to convention planning documents, the three-night convention in Charlotte, N.C., early next month will seek to “[e]xpose Mitt Romney as someone who doesn’t understand middle class challenges” while also burnishing “the President’s image as someone whose life story is about fighting for middle class Americans and those working to get into the middle class.”

Interesting approach. Glad they announced soon-to-be-Senator Warren first.

Meanwhile, the GOP is apparently inviting Donald Trump to speak in Tampa.

Stranger things have happened - especially if some of these guys really hate Willard as much as is rumored.
