Donald Trump to have 'unique' role at GOP convention

By Catalina Camia, USA TODAY

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2012/08/donald-trump-republican-national-convention-/1

"SNIP.....................................

Donald Trump is set to have a role at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, but exactly what isn't yet known.

"I was asked to speak at the RNC but said no, because I will be doing something much bigger -- just watch!" Trump posted on Twitter today.

ABC News reported the real estate mogul-reality TV star will have a "unique" and "memorable" role at the convention, according to Michael Cohen, executive vice president and special counsel to Trump.

Trump will definitely be in the neighborhood. He's going to be feted on Aug. 26, the day before the GOP convention begins, as Statesman of the Year by the Sarasota Republican Club.

What's the difference between Donald Trump and President Obama?

About 6 million years of evolution. (I heard a version of that on an old Taxi tv show and it kind of sticks with me)

and I'm sure he has the best and brightest working for him.

there is no such humour from the repugs as they are tiny little scrunched up mad things with no laughter other than to watch people suffer, and giggle.

Michelle is even funnier than he is. For sure the GOP can't do humour. Good humour punches through to a truth. The GOP is filled with bull****!

He would not have been allowed anywhere near an old time Republican convention. He is a clown and that they take him seriously is so very pathetic.

"You're fired!" and that's supposed to be a combination punchline and a rallying cry.

Lame. Just lame.
