and that it will be shameful, embarrassing, divisive and openly racist. They may be okay with that privately but might not want to be seen at such a televised spectacle.

They are going to have difficulty getting speakers, too. They might end up with bottom of the barrel guests like Dinesh D'Souza and Jerome Corsi, maybe Roger Stone (after he's pardoned), General Flynn, Corey Lewandowski, Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders... Ye gods!

Seriously, who would want to be seen here?

I predict an embarrassing disaster!
