Donald Trump has finally landed a prominent establishment Republican to speak at the GOP convention, but don't blink or you might miss it, reports Politico:
House Speaker Paul Ryan, who has at times been a foil to Donald Trump, will address the 2016 Republican Convention next week in Cleveland.
The major speech -- which Ryan said he is writing himself -- will be 10 minutes long, and will focus on the House Republican agenda and “the sharp contrast between Republican ideas and four more years of Obama-like progressive policies; and the need for conservatives to unite around Republican candidates in advance of a critical election,” per an aide to the speaker.
Trump reportedly managed to line up Ryan for the "major" 10-minute speech on Thursday of last week. Let’s remember that Trump also first promised to release the speaker slots—which were going like hot cakes—on Wednesday of last week.
Come Wednesday, he promised a Thursday release. Oops! But forget about all that—he'll be deciding his VP pick in "the next 3 or 4 days." Psst ... Donnie, the convention is next week.
