6 people with last name Trump – the candidate, his wife, and 4 kids – will speak at convention

We can also note that six people with the last name Trump – the candidate, his wife, and four of his kids – will deliver remarks at the convention, which means the number of Trumps will match the number of sitting senators who’ll address the GOP delegates.

It’s also genuinely extraordinary that Republicans have decided the first night of their convention should have a “Benghazi focus,” even after all of the party’s – and Trump’s – ridiculous conspiracy theories about the deadly 2012 attack have been discredited.

Sorry, no_hypocrisy, but your scenario, admittedly sarcastic, is unthinkable.

First, JFK had real political, military and social experiences. These provided substance.

Second, although the Kennedy family was prominent in JFK's life, their roles were limited. The campaign used heavy-weight politicians, intellectuals and professionals to speak for the candidate.

Third, obviously it was another time and the media existed in a reality-based world.

Oh, and fourth, Donald Trump is an idiot.

But if we're going to entertain your scenario, how about adding young John-John and Caroline? After all, the pictures of them playing in the Oval Office were kind of cute.

will speak at the Democratic convention. Bill and Chelsea could both do a good job, but I'm guessing they will be present on the stage but won't speak.
