One reads that many Republicans who have held or presently hold office have other plans that conflict with their convention. In a way that's too bad-- who doesn't enjoy hissing and throwing popcorn at the TV when, say, Ted Cruz or John McCain appears on the screen.

This lineup has Fox prime time written all over it, and I for one plan on watching the hell out of it.
