So, Donald Trump has lately been touting the "big surprise" that he is "working on" for the upcoming Republican National Convention, which is of course going to be the classiest and most awesome surprise in the history of Republican National Conventions, the previous honoree being Pat Buchanan's speech in 1992.

Recently, however, Salon's Alex Pareene had reason to ruminate on all of the possibilities for what Trump had in store, and after what I'm sure was an exhaustive session of cogitation, and also Scotch, he came to a conclusion: "The real surprise is almost definitely just going to be some idiotic video where Trump 'fires' an Obama impersonator."

1. And they claim to be "the adults"

14. Remember-- small minds are easily amused

3. The convention is just going to be one big ol' birther minstrel show

and all approved by head birther Willard Romney.

Surprised the impersonator isn't a white guy in blackface.

6. "white guy in blackface" You think it won't be?

These days there is very little I am surprised by when it comes to the Republican Party.

4. Vaudeville isn't dead. It's been living in Trump's hairpiece

5. That's a really pathetic idea

Obama impersonator comes out...
a stadium full of Rightwingers go apeshit booing and acting like... right-wingers...

and the rest of the country goes "WTF is wrong these hateful republicans. YUCK !! "

Not very good move if they actually want to ATTRACT votes

[arcane1]

8. And then the class-A buffoon Trump appears

I'm still astounded that he's allowed to participate in this convention, and that they think he'll be a positive influence. Crazy, crazy repubs....

[Beaverhausen]

9. I don't get it either. Do they really think he will help them? Are they trying to lose this?

[Initech]

7. Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn......

Let me know when they've really gone drunk with power - like buy up all the tv outlets and admit to having make all this shit up the last four years. Until then...

10. republican party....racist from the top down....

[JaneyVee]

11. Go ahead Trump, fire the fake Obama. We'll keep the real one.

[ailsagirl]

13. Yes we will!!

[Dirty Socialist]

12. Lame-O

Republicans are desperate for yet more red meat. Pathetic.

[Incitatus]

15. Obama pre-empted your stupid show to tell us Bin Laden was killed.

HAHA FUCK YOU, TRUMP.

[Turbineguy]

16. That's a great idea!

Remember Romney Voters! Getting fired is fun and hugely entertaining for others! Get your ass fired today!

[Marr]

17. Anyone else find this unbelievably tone-deaf, politically speaking?

Really? Your candidate is a vulture capitalist who is broadly despised, even among his own base, for exporting American jobs. We're in the middle of a crap economy. He's already made himself look like a colossal elitist by saying he "likes firing people".

Is this really the bell you want to ring?

[Ruby the Liberal]

18. Its not a maybe. He hired an impersonator.
