The Pubs who have a bit of self-respect

and there are a few, WON'T be attending the Circus in Cleveland, incl all the Bushes, John McCain, Mitt Romney, the well-qualified gov of Ohio, and 18 Senators(R), among many others.
Some of them DID have good excuses, though. Jeff Flake(R), AZ said he had to 'mow his lawn', and
Ben Sasse(R), NE, also had a good reason.
“Sen. Sasse will not be attending the convention and will instead take his kids to watch some dumpster fires across the state, all of which enjoy more popularity than the current front-runner,” his spokesman told The Hill.
I'm betting their WILL be some big name Pubs that make surprise appearances though. I'm thinking part of the Repub braintrust, like Dennis Rodman and Gary Busey will have a hard time avoiding the spotlight, and it will be EXTREMELY hard for Sarah 'Airhead' Palin not share her wisdom with a bunch of like-minded Clowns in Cleveland.
Wow, I can almost feel the cumulative IQ of the nation FALLING by several points this week, as the sheep gather to be fleeced.
