Hardly anybody wants to speak at Trump's convention!!!

POLITICO reached out to more than 50 prominent Republicans. Few said they plan to attend the convention in Cleveland, let alone speak.

“I am not attending,” said South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy.
"I've got bigger fish to fry trying to pin stuff on Hillary, besides, I'm planning to take my family to the beach"
(What I would pay to see Trey in a swimsuit. Oo-lah-lah)..)

 New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte “is not attending the convention,” said a spokeswoman.

“I’m not,” said South Carolina Rep. Mark "the Happy Wanderer" Sanford.“Don’t know,” said Sean Duffy, a reality-TV-star-turned-Wisconsin congressman, “I haven’t thought about it.”Florida Rep. Carlos Curbelo: "I won't be there.”
 
 

Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner “is not attending the convention,” his office said.

A spokesman for South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham: “He announced back in May he's not attending.”

For South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley: “The governor has not been asked to speak at the convention and has no plans to.”

Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn: “There are no plans for him to speak.”

House members often have to scrap to get national attention — and eagerly take whatever they can get. But taking the podium in Cleveland? No thanks.
