This is already a lot smarter than anything the 2012 convention did. By putting the speakers on stage, the GOP convention makes Benghazi and illegal migration into issues.
Conservative favorites like Tom Cotton and Sheriff Clarke will be there. As will Jeff Sessions and Joni Ernst. But also...
Speakers include Jamiel Shaw, whose son was killed by an undocumented immigrant, and Cotton. And, as first reported by Fox News,Benghazi attack survivors Mark Geist and John Tiegen will also speak at the convention.
And they are a lot more important than the usual political figures.
In addition to the Benghazi survivors, former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, author of the book, "Lone Survivor," will make an appearance, along with Wisconsin Sheriff David Clarke, a vocal critic of the Black Lives Matter movement.
That should be a lot of fun.
