as to list some speakers and omit others so as to suggest that one of the omitted ones is the chosen running mate. They listed the speakers we'd expect and will adjust the list when the decision is announced. Anyhow, the convention planners don't know either.

This is a preliminary schedule prepared by people who aren't privy to Biden's decision-making. These are all placeholders and are likely to shift as things shake out.

wants as his VP? I think most of us feel this way, that Biden deserves who he wants as his VP, after all, the VP will be there in good times and bad times, 100% of the time ...

This is in total contrast w/ rump and pence (a toady (which ironically enough, pence looks like a toady too)), and rump wants pence out of the picture as much as possible since he doesn't want to share either the cameras or the microphones w/ anyone else but trump and trump only...pathetic as usual.
