Let's compare conventions!

Here is a partial list of very likely speakers at this year's Democratic convention:

Hillary Clinton
Barack Obama
Joe Biden
Bernie Sanders
Bill Clinton
Martin O'Malley
Elizabeth Warren
<VP nominee if not already listed>
<Keynote speaker>


Here is a partial list of very likely speakers at this year's Republican convention:

Donald Trump
Sarah Palin
Chris Christie
Ben Carson
<VP nominee if not already listed>
<Keynote speaker>


I don't think I am being presumptuous by saying our convention has a far deeper and better list of knowledgeable and entertaining speakers. I hope Trump has his thumbs and fingers insured as they are going to be suffering from repetitive motion disorder due to all the Twitter rants he will be composing during the four days of the Democratic convention.

Only the biggest and best for the Donald. It will be a self idolazation fan fest not seen since the Stalin or Sadam years. First off Rosanne Bar sings the national anthem.

Then Chris Christie comes out Ala David Copperfield and makes a Bridge dissappear right before your eyes.

Anne Coulter seranades Sean Hannity with a rendition of I put a spell on you before The Donald takes the stage and uses only his "best" words blindfolded to prove he's not using a teleprompter.


The night wraps up with a salute in dance using 80s music to Reagan featuring Dick Cheney and The Solid Gold Dancers. .....good times.
