CLEVELAND — Tim Tebow, the Heisman Trophy winner, reality television star and former N.F.L. player who was supposed to be one of the biggest names to appear at the Republican National Convention, said Thursday that he would not speak after all.
In a video he posted to Instagram, Mr. Tebow called reports that he would be a speaker “a rumor.”
Good for him.

That's a weird response from him. He's not talking about someone else. He's talking about himself. He either knows he's speaking, knows he's not speaking, or is in the middle of talking with people whether he will speak or not. A normal person would say "No, I'm not speaking" or "Yes, I am speaking" or "I'm not sure yet, but possibly".
What kind of answer is "that's (only) a rumour"?
edit: Read more of the article, but didn't watch Tebow's video. The article says he's out, but then only quotes him talking about rumours. I assume his video is more straightforward and clear?

Apparently they've already scrubbed the TP part of the logo from the Trump and RNC websites.
Trump is still stuck with Pence, though.

What is it about conservatives and lack of imagination/foresight -- at one point here in Canuckistan, when the Reform party was nearing the final stages of absorbing the Progressive Conservative party, they briefly named themselves the
Canadian Conservative Reform Alliance party.

That logo isn't going away. Frankly, I would hold a "TP for your Bunghole!" sign on the street because it makes me laugh so hard every time I think about it.

I didn't watch the announcement but a couple of articles I read were not impressed. Well, more like scratching their heads wondering what the hell it was that they just watched. Apparently Trump talked about himself for 30 minutes, introduced Pence then walked off the stage. And the Rolling Stones song blaring from the sound system was "You can't always get what you want"? Good. Lord.
Poor Pence. Does he have any idea what he's signed up for? I guess this is his Palin moment in the spotlight, except extremely unlikely to result in anything positive for him.

I don't feel sorry for Pence since...fuck that guy. When this is over he can have a reality show too - 'Bland Hate'. Now for some positives - Trump apparently is so, so sad he didn't make the best VP choice ever and is weighing announcing his council of crazy. I look forward to that shit show.

Pence will lock down the evangelicals and Teabaggers who didn't think Fuckface was "conservative" enough. Not that they would have voted for Hillary, but probably would have sat this one out.

Scott Baio has stepped up to speak at Republican National Convention
“I actually was at a fundraiser for Mr. Trump the other night with my wife, and he invited me to speak at the convention, which was completely unexpected and out of left field,” Baio said. “He had given a speech and he was walking out. I looked at him and said, ‘Mr. Trump, Scott Baio,’ and he goes, ‘Oh my God,’ and he said to me, ‘Did you want to speak?’ and I went, ‘Here?’ and he goes, “No, no, no, at the convention.”
That's quite the vetting process: run into random people and ask them on the fly to speak at your convention.

List of convention speakers released:
Bigger name headliners are saved for the evening speaking slots, while the daytime programming features a mixed bag of actors, veterans, and law enforcement officers. Daytime speakers include “Duck Dynasty” star Willie Robertson, “Happy Days” actor Scott Baio, controversial Wisconsin sheriff David Clarke, pro golfer Natalie Gulbis, Trump’s 22-year-old daughter Tiffany, and Trump Winery General Manager Kerry Woolard.
Monday: Make America Safe Again
Headliners: Melania Trump, Lieutenant General (ret.) Michael Flynn, U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Jason Beardsley and U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke (Mont.).
Tuesday: Make America Work Again
Headliners: Donald Trump, Jr., U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (WV), Ben Carson and Kimberlin Brown.
Wednesday: Make America First Again
Headliners: Lynne Patton; Eric Trump; former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich and his wife, Callista; and Indiana Governor Mike Pence, whom Donald Trump has chosen as his vice presidential running mate.
Thursday: Make America One Again

For comparison, the
2012 convention was overflowing with GOP rising stars.
