Other’s will be featured including Bill and Hillary Clinton, the Obama’s and others……
Democrats are trying to come together to mobilize their voters to get rid of Donald Trump and gain a majority in the US Senate…
They’ve invited a well known Republican to help them….
Bernie Sanders and John Kasich will share a night in the spotlight, and both Clintons are slated to have prominent speaking roles at the all-virtual Democratic National Convention in less than two weeks, multiple people familiar with the plans told POLITICO.
Others who’ve been tapped for coveted speaking slots during an event that’s been shrunk down to eight prime-time hours over four nights are Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and Jill Biden. And it goes without saying that the party’s two most popular figures, Barack and Michelle Obama, will be featured prominently.
One source said Kasich — the former Republican governor of Ohio and a major critic of President Donald Trump — would appear on the same night as Sanders early in the week in a demonstration of unity. The duo would be designed to showcase a broad anti-Trump coalition that is backing Biden.
Democrats are also reaching out to well-known military veterans and Republicans known for their national security expertise for a portion of the convention devoted to foreign policy.
Convention organizers warned that planning is still in flux and details about themes, dates and speakers could still change, even though the event is only 10 days away.
Planning a Democratic convention without Democrats who are actually convening is the main challenge for the Democratic National Committee and the Biden campaign, and organizers are under intense pressure to produce a four-day television event that is engaging and entertaining but one that also conveys the gravity of the choice for voters in November…..

If he does this?
John Kasich is signaling that his day as a candidate for elective office in the Republican Party is over.
Yeah that’s my take on it too. I figure Kasich has run for President twice in the last 20 years and he probably wasn’t going to run again either way.
He speaks at the DNC and Biden and he becomes the GOP version of Zell Miller. But less likely to challenge anyone to a duel
Should say–if he speaks at the DNC and endorses Biden he becomes the GOP version of Zell Miller
For the doubters…..
3 More Republicans to Speak at Democratic Convention
In addition to former Gov. John Kasich, three more Republicans will speak at the Democratic convention tonight: former Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, former California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman and former Rep. Susan Molinari.
What you need besides these four certifiably Main-Street or Silicon-Valley Republicans are disillusioned movement conservatives who are now willing to go so far as to advocating voting for Biden-Harris, e.g. Stu Spencer.
Yup….
But Jack probably right….
Won’t be a lot….
Until after the mid Sept polling results….
If Trump is in the same place ?
I expect more and MORE defections from his support…
No ,if after all his missteps with this pandemic and an economy that is still in the doldrums with double digit unemployment?
And he’s still at 90% among Republicans?
Any “defections “ will be insignificant..
You can’t just “wish” such things and expect them to come true.Thats all you’ve been doing since Trump became President.
Sure i can….
We all do it everyday….
Goofy
‘Anonymous’ Urges Vote for Biden
The self-described “senior Trump administration official,” who anonymously trashed the president’s leadership in a 2018 op-ed and a 2019 best-selling book, is calling for voters to throw the president out of office this November in a new preface for the paperback “2020 election edition” of the book, Politico reports.
“Anonymous” said last year that they would reveal their identity to Trump before the election, but the person stays nameless in the latest edition, only saying they plan to unveil themselves in “due course.”
Politicalwire….
They DO seem to be out there ….
You’re so obtuse.
Of course there are Republicans who are going to vote against Trump.
There are Democrats who will vote against Biden
No one said differently.
What I’ve said is that in the overall picture they are small in number.
For some reason you either fail to grasp that point or are just trying desperately to justify a fact that doesn’t exist.
The FACT is that ,despite your numerous posts to the contrary ,Donald Trumps support among Republicans is almost exactly where it was on his Inauguration Day .
You just can’t seem to accept that.
I’m proud of these folks.Takes courage .
However, do I think this will have any significant effect on Republican support for Trump?
No I don’t.
