Trump’s Campaign announces its all-star line-up of speakers for new scaled down Republican Convention. Ted Nugent, Scott Baio, Antonio Sabato Jr, and Diamond and Silk will all appear virtually in Zoom boxes before Trump’s acceptance speech.

I had to look up Antonio Sabato Jr:
Antonio Sabàto Jr. (born February 29, 1972) is an Italian-American former model, actor, and politician. Sabàto first found fame in the 1990s as an underwear model for Calvin Klein and playing Jagger Cates on the soap opera General Hospital from 1992 to 1995. By the early 2000s, most of his acting credits were guest appearances, reality television, and budget films.So... he's basically Joey Tribbiani?

No. This is lame! If the Republicans can't get real celebrities, don't do the celebrity thing at all. Give the stage to real people whose lives have been positively affected by Trump's policies.
Trump voters don't need faux entertainment to vote. Let the Democrats bring the Hollywood pedophiles to Milwaukee to cheer on their senile candidate. Good luck.
Who would you say Diamond and Silk are, basically, Althouse? If you were to pick two fictional characters of the same ethnicity who tended to be the butt of jokes, who would you say they are?
Yah, I'll pass, too...
He couldn't at least get Gary Busey?
eah, not that I have anything against the rare out-and-proud Hollywood Republicans, but I think it's better to not bother with celecbrities rather than to scrape together this motley group of C and D listers. I've always looked at the fact that the bulk of the entertainment industry is strongly opposed to conservative argument as actually sort of an odd plus. After all, the entertainment industry is based on illusion and frippery. It's not based in the real world.
Of course, an argument could be made that Trump himself is sort of part of the entertainment industry, or at least it could be said he's always had a strong affinity for it. He likes big showy things. He loves pump and circumstance. But as an entertainer himself, you'd think Trump might have a sense of what comes of as appealing versus what comes of as lame pandering.
Who watches the conventions anyway? Don't you already know for whom you're voting?
I haven't watched these snoozefests in many years.
If anyone truly relevant was included in this list, they'd be unpersoned in a heartbeat. Stay in your closet, Entertainment Trumpers!
Jesus Christ, you gotta be kidding me. The GOP is so utterly tone-deaf and lacking any marketing ability. The Democrats have spent the last 4 years blowing up the country, creating a failed coup attempt, blistering Justice Kavanaugh, demanding we shut down our economy (until November), sponsoring riots and dismantling our law enforcement both nationally and at the local levels. Yet the Democrats are poised to take all houses on Washington.
And the GOP is lining up Ted Nugent?
You know, the GOP has sucked for years. Their only saving grace was that they were not the Democrats. Minus the out-of-the-box thinking of Trump, they are done. Both parties need to be blown up. (not literally- for those of you easily persuaded)
I always confuse Antonio Sabato Jr. with Freddy Prinze Jr.
Mike Sington needs a better picture on his Twitter page.
He looks like we're seeing him through Rowdy Roddy Piper's sunglasses in 'They Live'.
I had to look up Mike Sington. I guess the question to ask is are you excited about the candidate or the guest line-up at the convention? I am sure Trump supporters will be excited about him despite the lack of big-name celebrities. On the democrat side, I am sure there will be a plethora of celebrities, a veritable who's who in Hollywood and entertainment. Dem supports will be excited about that but will they be as excited about Biden? I doubt it.
Joey was easily the best Friends character.
A "parade," (as it were), of Grade Z celebs and an aging rocker whose career peaked decades ago. (I can't deny the appeal of "Stranglehold," though, then and today, and no two bombastic celebs are better paired than Donald and Ted!)
Entertainers who want to find work cannot show themselves as Jews in Germany, or blacks in the old democratic south... er I mean - be republicans in the era of angry white leftist cancel cult.
The most devout Trump-hater (a subject on which I profess to have some personal knowledge) could not have picked a more effective parody entertainment lineup. But I am wondering how it is that the Oak Ridge Boys didn't make the bill?
That's OK - Robert Cook - You leftists have the stars of Hillarywoodland.
A grade!
Meryl Streep - who loves her some Harvey Weinstein. Probably has a pin up of Bill Clinton above her bed. People like that. A-Grade Celebs.
Janet Jacket video - Mr. Antonio Sabato Jr. is one of the hot guys.
hmmmm - I wonder how the leftwing Nazi cancel cult will remove this video?
Stay tuned.

I had to look up Joey Tribbiani.
I'd have to look up Joey Tribbiani to answer that.
I wondering if James Woods is any good at public speaking?
Well, thanks, I had to look up Joey Tribiani.
Sabato is probably most famous for Janet Jackson's Love will Never Do (without you). He had the good sense to stay off the giant half-aspirin.
A torrent of has beens, never was-ers and sycophants? that's the best they can do?
No thanks

I'm personally not a fan of the "star studded" convention appearance list, but then I don't plan to watch anyway. I do think it is a good idea and could be a major contrast if the DNC does what I expect which is to "show leadership" of tired politicians. But do I feel the electricity? Not at all. I hate campaign season. The ads are tiresome. The only good news is the COVID crisis has caused me to turn off nearly all forms of broadcast entertainment.
Wait a minute.
Is Althouse trying to convince people that having bigger Hollywood stars on your political side is a net positive?
I'm going to have to check your math on that.
It's a who's who of who's that?
Put it another way:
Name a single person you know (anybody can play) whose vote was affected by a celebrity endorsement.
Was the effect positive or negative?
"You can already feel the electricity."
Yeah, okay. (And here I just thought it was my underwear riding up.)
There are hundreds of regular people who have and will suffer substantial loss at the hands of Democrat politicians. Many, if not most, of those victims are minorities. Get these people to speak. Who cares what someone far from the fray has to say. The best argument for Trump is that he is not a Democrat, and there are a lot of regular people out there who could make that argument very well with personal accounts. Nothing would be more powerful and relevant than regular non-celebrities speaking for Trump. Who the hell comes up with these ideas? It's so sadly routine. We need to hear from people who represent millions like themselves, not a few unusual people who represent dozens. The purpose of using celebrities is to get people to listen, but these are not those kind of celebrities anyway, and Trump people in particular are not enamored by celebrity.
The Republicans do have a more powerhouse stable of celebrity supporters, it's just that the Dem media machine demonizes the hell out of them (or is that into them) which usually keeps them mum.
The Dems are good about memory-holing their supporters like Jeff Epstein and Harvey Weinstein.
Up with people!
Jon Voight and Gary Sinise are probably the highest profile conservatives who haven't been canceled. I wonder why Voight isn't there.
Yeah Temujin - I tend to agree.
Who needs B-list celebs when the the Democratic party is Unfit to Govern
I submit that this Sington guy's claim is apocryphal. I could not find a single confirmatory Google hit on "Republican Convention" plus 2020 plus any of those names.
Diamond and Silk is a great choice, however.
Joey Tribbiani
Trump is pandering to multiple demographics.
As a kid, I was always told that "P.T. Barnum was the greatest showman that ever lived."
Hell, P.T. Barnum can't even hold a candle up against Trump's brillance.
You know it's awful when even you people won't get behind it. This lineup is an exact reflection of what Trump thinks you people will look up to. But you still love him.
I'd rather hear from Mike Ditka.
They should line of victims of the rioters. One after another.
Trump should invite Clint back to talk to an empty chair, this time occupied by an invisible and demented Biden. Give him 3 hours. That might win Trump the election. (But I realize Clint has left the reservation.)
Trump needs to replicate the Vegas casino scene in The Godfather, not the Moe Green part but the part involving performances. I don't know who the equivalent of Johnny Fontaine (or Frank Sinatra) is in this picture, but surely the convention can get a better line up.
How about James Woods, an actual A-lister? He's an open Trump supporter, and could articulate his reasons well. Surely he could bring some other celebs with him?
"You can already feel the electricity." Pretty funny.
Hee Haw redux. They will need to add some Blue Grass players to honor Bill Monroe.
No need for this. Trump is a three-ring-circus all on his own.
No, but I’ve never been excited about the lineup of any political convention.
Wow, must see TV! what no contemporary Christian artists!?
Why not people who can hold an audience? Rush Limbaugh, John Rich (of Big n Rich), Larry Elder, Adam Carolla and Candace Owens?
Ted Nugent gave a concert at my college. I had barely heard of him before, but I thought he was pretty good.
That was 1971.
I, for one, look forward to the debate, not the faux online conventions.
Trump opens with, "Hey, Joe, what's 8 times 7?" Should bring the entire proceedings to a halt as Biden demands Trump fight him out back, after Biden claims the question equals racism, or perhaps Ukraine, depending on the level of his meds.
And I can wear a T-shirt printed with "8 x 7" on the front, and "20" on the back, and be a surreptitious Trump supporter.
I know Clint has walked away, but what about Kelsey Grammar or John Voight or 90% of country music? Sure, the Dems have most of the celebrities, but surely the Reps can do better than Ted Nugent and Scott Baio.

I like to think that even Joey Tribbiani was too smart to buy into the hodge-podge of junk economics, magical thinking and State cultism that passes for "liberalism" these days. Phoebe, the total airhead, sure. Look at the "liberal" commenters who frequent this blog and it should give you a good idea of the intellectual level of "liberalism" today.
Trump’s Campaign announces its all-star line-up of speakers for new scaled down Republican Convention.
Maybe when the booking agent heard it was a scaled down convention, he thought the stars had to be scaled down too?
As a local DJ said here after one of those "Rock the Vote" events: "If you need a celebrity to tell you who to vote for, you probably shouldn't be voting."
The only celebrity who ever influenced me politically was Ronald Reagan speaking at the 1964 Republican convention, when he said that we will have to explain to future generations what we valued more than liberty.
Heck I had to look up "Joey Tribbiani" to figure out the reference. Let's just say that this cast of characters is as fully out of touch with the country as are the Democrats. At best they are Reddi Whip--fake cream.
You can’t imagine how distressed Trump must feel that the people making movies from which audiences are staying away in droves refuse to endorse him. The establishment wealth has rejected him, and Cookie goes right along with whatever the billionaires want. You would think that would give him a moment’s pause, why is he on the side of the corporate oligarchs? You would be wrong.
I had to look up Joey Tribbiani.
IMO, this lineup makes the convention only slightly less appealing as entertainment.
I had to look up Joey Tribbiani.
Bring back Clint and his chair.
so, from these comments here; it Seems Like
Commenters that Aren't Republican, and HATE Trump are saying that they aren't impressed
Cookie is also on the side of the war criminals in Portland who have used proscribed blinding lasers to permanently, it appears, blind three Federal Agents in contravention of UN protocols clearly spelled out in black letter international law. Whoever provided those rioters with these weapons should be brought before the court at The Hague.
I wonder how using firebombs on a Federal Courthouse is all that different from firing on Fort Sumpter. Maybe Robert Cook could explicate the fine distinctions for us.
Bridesmaids dress strategy. Which Democrat on the podium is not going to outshine gaping Joe?
Joey was pretty much the only Friends main character that I would have actually liked if I knew that character as a real person. The others I would have politely tolerated.
But, yeah, I think the GOP could do better than this line-up if they felt like trying.
Don't care.
Libs need celebrities to tell them how to vote; conservatives/republicans/libertarians don't.
Joey was easily the best Friends character.
Watch some outtakes - plenty on YouTube. Matt LeBlanc is actually pretty sharp, but when the acting starts, his face goes happy/stupid, great acting.
You have to hand it to Bezos that he can get someone like Cook on board with his campaign to defeat Trump. Him and the weapons manufacturers who beshit themselves every time Trump makes noise about ratcheting down military tensions anywhere.
"Pull out of Syria? Treason against our weapons sales quotas!” Said Military Industrial Complex plants in the so-called ’Security Council'
"Pull out of Afghanistan? Putin’s bitch!” Said the CIA
"Let the Europeans pay for their own defense! Thunderation! Those cheapskate spend all of their money on social wellfare! What will be left for Daddy Warbucks!” Cried Lockheed, Boeing, Martin Marietta, Raytheon, et al.
"Trump has to go!” They cried in unison!
Those are your allies in your noble cause Robert.
It’s who can be the bigger asshole time in this election. Is it people who think that wearing a cloth mask marks them as thrall to Satan? Or the coalition of the hyper wealthy and the Krystalnacht types who are in the streets to destroy democracy. Well they both want democracy destroyed and both think that they will be on top when this is over. My bet is that the super mega hyper rich will win and usher in a Xi type of fascist state where the richest set the rules, and the very richest will be whoever gets himself made maximum leader. My money is on somebody controlled by Google, who have set up a spy system that the East Germans could only marvel at. Imagine a leader like Castro in the US. He was just a pathetic run of the mill billionaire. Were he in charge of the United States, he could afford a weekend place on the moon while we wait weeks or months for MRIs when cancer is suspected.
Seen this way, the pathetic utterings of mentally deranged and/or low IQ people who can’t deal with the reality of a pandemic with a minor compromise seems kind of quaint. What really disturbs me about this type though is their firm belief that as a society, we owe each other nothing. I don’t want to live in that society either.
Diamonds and Silk are great. Unless you are one of those eugenics types who celebrate the abortion rate among blacks and are happy that they are shrinking as a percentage of our population. If you spend serious time abroad, time enough to befriend locals and get involved enough in foreign cultures to honestly see how they view America, you will see that black Americans are kind of what defines America vis a vis Europe, for example. They are the spice in the vindaloo. It’s un-American to seek to replace them the way the Democrats have been trying to do.
I would have preferred a psychic who would converse with Jeffrey Epstein.
She could tell us who killed him and identify people on whom he had dirt.
I would especially enjoy the Biden Campaign alienating their own voters by claiming psychics "aren't real".
The Republicans don't need entertainers. They need real people who have suffered from Dim-Comm actions and policies. Throw in an animatronic Joe Biden spouting some Joeism's at random with Trump asking the audience who do you want? Me or the dummy?
R Cook siding with billionaires. Only Trump can drive the Left so crazy.
I wonder how using firebombs on a Federal Courthouse is all that different from firing on Fort Sumpter. Maybe Robert Cook could explicate the fine distinctions for us.
Serious people are going to be asking this question seriously after the Left melts down when Trump is re-elected.
"Matt LeBlanc is actually pretty sharp, but when the acting starts, his face goes happy/stupid, great acting."
Watch a TV show called "Episodes". Matt LeBlanc is a main character throughout the entire series and he's literally playing himself throughout the whole thing. And he plays himself as quite an asshole - not quite irredeemable but close. It's a spoof on how awful Hollywood is and it's really pretty funny.

I see lots of stuff on the web about how this Mike Sington posted this tweet, but that's it. Nothing directly from the Trump campaign. Is there any reason to believe that this is legitimate? I certainly hope not... .
Jon Voight and Gary Sinise are probably the highest profile conservatives who haven't been canceled. I wonder why Voight isn't there.
I suspect age and his daughter. You can ask the same about Clint Eastwood, who has spoken at a previous convention. But if you put up a bunch of old actors; then it will make the party seem like the party of the old. Then again, you can substitute out Scott Baio or Ted Nugent, except in the former we haven't heard from him as we have Voight or Eastwood and in the latter, Ted is a voice for the NRA and 2nd Amendment plus music. Diamond and Silk are great choices and I'd like to see more internet celebrities on the list Not bloggers, more like vloggers, as YouTube/Instagram/TikTok celebs would bring in more youth. And by see, I don't mean I'd actually watch.

That's a solid idea.
The convention should be all about the victims of leftwing crime, crime committed by antifa terrorists and crime committed by the left's preferred class - the illegal entrant.
Perhaps the police officers blinded by leftwing antifa goons - they should testify.

Of course he'll do that. Even Bush did that. What, their names should be published now, so they may be doxxed and cowed and forced to recant and say that two plus two is five and they hate Big Orange?
What's more likely, though none of this is important, would be a last minute star addition. Like Kanye. Wouldn't that be a hoot!
If wearing a mask so that business can at least limp along during a pandemic causes you to commit suicide, I would have to say that you are just providing further evidence of my point about mental derangement.
I tend to agree. If wearing a mask means we can open for business. Wear a dang mask.

"...Meryl Streep - who loves her some Harvey Weinstein. Probably has a pin up of Bill Clinton above her bed. People like that. A-Grade Celebs."
You left out Dame Judi Dench and Oprah Winfrey.
Well that had to be the most idiotic interpretation of the suicides of real people, tim in vermont.
Those people are committing suicide and taking drugs because they are despondent. They see no hope in a future. They think the world is bad and getting worse. They have no jobs. They cannot see friends. They cannot go into public and be near other humans. They are miserable because of an overreaction to a disease.
And the overreaction happened because public health officials do not speak of trade-offs. Fauci said so directly. His colleagues have criticized him for his narrow mindedness.
I look forward to the pre-2020 evidence for the medical benefits of wearing masks by the healthy. Find that evidence if you can. I did. It's not hidden evidence. The medical community made it widely available. Dare you?

Are you really that heartless and dim? It is not the masks you moron, it is the folks forces out of jobs and out of businesses that they have spent lifetimes building due to D tyrants. They have no jobs, no businesses, and no foreseeable future thanks to the lockdowns.
Or is it now OK again to respond with "learn to code" since it is not media people suffering?
tim in vermont: "If wearing a mask so that business can at least limp along during a pandemic causes you to commit suicide, I would have to say that you are just providing further evidence of my point about mental derangement."
And to think this POS perspective is layered on top of what the UN itself said will be the impact of the global shutdown on the poorest humans everywhere:
"U.N. warns economic downturn could kill hundreds of thousands of children in 2020"
APRIL 16, 2020
"UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Hundreds of thousands of children could die this year due to the global economic downturn sparked by the coronavirus pandemic and tens of millions more could fall into extreme poverty as a result of the crisis, the United Nations warned on Thursday."
Hundreds of thousands of children expected to die. Hundreds of millions across the globe thrown into desperate poverty.
Or, as tim in vermont might shout in a very celebratory mode, "If they would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
Well played tim. I'm glad you announced you are voting for Biden and the marxists. You really do belong there. You are a perfect fit. Inga welcomes you with open arms.
Give the stage to real people whose lives have been positively affected by Trump's policies.
This.
"Cookie is also on the side of the war criminals in Portland who have used proscribed blinding lasers to permanently, it appears, blind three Federal Agents...etc., etc."
Uh, no. I'm not. Where have I said I support those who are committing violence, harming others, destroying property, etc.? They should be arrested.
Drago puts words in my mouth then argues with them. What a sad life it must be. A disinterested observer might say that if wearing a cloth mask when going to the store can bring back businesses quicker, where is the harm? But Drago seems, I don’t know, seems to equate wanting people to observe minimal standards of hygiene with some dark conspiracy against the human race. This is what I mean by cloth masks deranging people.
Anyway, go ahead and put more words in my mouth, become outraged at those words now, and belt out one more post of anger that anybody would think the thoughts that came out of your head alone, Drago.
As ever, regretful for wasting my time with you,
- Tim
" It is not the masks you moron”
All I talked about was masks, it’s Drago who brought up suicides in response to my post. Why did he equate the masks with the suicides? I don’t know, you will have to ask him. If you read my posts carefully, you may have to wonder wether “It’s not the masks you moron” might have been better directed at Drago.
As I recall Jackie Chan had some choice words about corruption in America. I'd like to see him as a guest speaker. Stone Cold Steve Austin and Jackie Chan would be my choices.
But The Donald is always fuckin with the press, he has fun with it. Maybe James Woods and Greg Gutfeld too!
tim in vermont: "Drago puts words in my mouth then argues with them. What a sad life it must be. A disinterested observer might say that if wearing a cloth mask when going to the store can bring back businesses quicker, where is the harm?"
LOL
You STILL don't get it, do you? Typical dem.
60% of restaurants aren't coming back! Thousands of businesses have already closed....forever!
All because you and your moron lefty pals just had to virtue signal to the entire world.
The masks are simply emblems of your boot-lickery and the damage is already more than done and the impact on hundreds of millions of people across the globe is already baked in.
But you be you. Biden is counting on it.
Saw the Nuge twice in Madison in the '70's ; he puts on good shows.
I think this is fake. There is literally nothing out there, except this tweet, about a lineup for a virtual convention.
Did Althouse fall for Fake News?
Biden can roll out Barbara Streisand and a slew of toxic feminists on his side. Swing voters will be repelled and pushed towards Trump.
The discouragement of masks by Trumpco spreaded feelings of hopelessness directly leading to more suicides. If the President leaded the country down a more Asian style of responses back in March, all those suicides would have not happened, the Covid-19 scourge would have been a nothingburger and Trump would crushing Nappy Joe just Biden his time.
Thanks to Christ you people have Antifa in the spank bank, elsewise the sewercide count would be deplorable.

It is not the mask Nazis or the anti-mask Nazis that are the problem it is the local politician dictator want-to-bes that have everything in lock down and think that is fine while real people's lives and families and businesses are destroyed for good. All was warned in advance that any sort of extended lock-down was going to result in greater collateral damage than China-flu damage but tyrants got to tyrant. What do they care as long as they keep their phony-baloney jobs? It is not "low IC people who can't deal with reality" it is the politicians and the "experts" that pay no price for their wrong and/or evil decisions. People are tired of being told they MUST do X, Y, and Z all the while seeing their "betters" not doing so as well as all of these BLM and antifa scum rioting, looting, and killing in the streets while they are forbidden from going to church.
A disinterested observer might say that if wearing a cloth mask when going to the store can bring back businesses quicker, where is the harm?
Or they might wonder if all the mask wearing is doing anything at all...or if it might be making things worse...
An interested observer might be furious nobody seems to be doing any cost/benefit analysis, only dutifully following guesses by advisors who exist in silos...
I'd be excited if The Nuge is going to actually play some of his kick ass songs. That would be worth watching.
Sabato is the son of famous Italian racing drive Nino Barlini. It’s true, it’s true.
So he's basically a Celebrity.
They couldn't get Mike Rowe? Really?
And here I had been hoping for Garth Brooks or Toby Keith
�� We’ll put a boot in your ass. It’s the American way.
Surely Toby can rework his lyrics to target the Antifa that Althouse doesn’t believe exists.
Anyway, the lineup of entertainers Althouse listed is about what you’d expect, given that Mitt Tomney’s niece is the current chair of the RNC.

Howard, you have the brain of a cherrystone clam.

I'd ask you not to be a such a flake, but it's way too late for that. You and Biden are both deep into cognitive decline. Each time you post, it's there for all to see.

Joan wins the thread. I don't know if this was intentional Trump trolling or not, but there's been no announcement.

He would be terrific. I mean, he is terrific already, but he would be a great convention speaker if willing. I wonder if he's eventually planning to run for office himself. I hope so.
“Drago puts words in my mouth then argues with them. What a sad life it must be.”
Indeed. I guess he’s upset that he has no one to argue with.

Congrats tim. You've earned their loyalty.......
“Commenters that Aren't Republican, and HATE Trump are saying that they aren't impressed”
Not a Republican, don’t hate Trump. Still not impressed. But I’m not impressed with big name celebrities endorsing anyone. I’m not impressed with political conventions period.
Unfortunately for Trump the biggest media star that will come to the Republican convention is Donald Trump.

Tim,
People are not committing suicide because they are told to wear masks. You obviously know that as anyone with a brain knows that suicide comes from despair, such as loss of income for someone financially overextended.
Why are you suggesting that someone is equating mask mandates with suicide?
Love the suggestions of Woods, Gutfeld, and Rowe. I heard Eastwood said he will not vote for Trump. And I think other Republican celebs (yes, there some) are afraid to come out of the closet as Trump supporters.
Go ahead and laugh, but watch these speakers and compare them to the self-righteous, angry celebrities the Democrats offer up. Please let us know here which group you found more entertaining and, more importantly, memorable.

Not saying they're analogous, except that rational man has fought for millennia against being ruled by superstition. Just ask Stevie Wonder:
When you believe in things
That you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way
Masks appear by the data to be nothing more than superstition. The anger of the superstitious for those violating their taboos is real, but that doesn't justify it.
If not Aztec sacrifice...rabbit's feet? Surely you can carry around a lousy rabbit's foot?! What's the matter with you?
