Here's the list of Trump's convention speakers. ...One name notably absent

With the Republican convention almost upon us, it's time to peruse the list of speakers slated to brave the chaos of Cleveland for Donald Trump's big week. This is being billed as a list of speakers "so far," which means there may be additions, subtractions, and last minute guests who are not listed. You'll notice that one name is conspicuously absent...

That's right, no mention of Mike Pence - the Indiana Governor thought to be the frontrunner among Trump's potential VP picks. If you read tea leaves, that could mean that Pence is now locked-in and will have a slot all to himself when he accepts the nomination. ...Or, it could be a deft bit of misdirection and media manipulation. We'll know tomorrow.
