mainly to see what local "Tavern" they were set up in to broadcast. (I didn't recognize the spot)

The segment I saw, Mika read the names of the speakers and had a "Who the Hell is he/she" look on her face and tone to her voice. The rest of the panel just laughed.

"Who the hell is this?" Gingrich and Perry are about the most well-known......anyone else....."Who?"

Charles is chosen to speak at the RNC national convention but Buddy (Willy Aames) accidentally switches the speech in the teleprompter with a transcript of Charles' bigoted lunatic twitter postings.

Might have been a speaker instead of Scott. He created and starred in Christian videos where he was a superhero called, "Bibleman."

They want to put Charles in charge. It's gonna be an '80s nostalgia fest.

21. Scott Baio Spending Copious Free Time Yelling ‘Trump!’ At Poor Starbucks Baristas

Remember when Scott Baio was an asshole? No, the other time. No, the other other time. No, the other — look, we’re gonna be here all day at this rate. Point is, Scott Baio is being an asshole again, like how Scott Baios do.

You may have thought we were done hearing from the Z-list former sitcom star and A-list current dongrocket known as Scott Baio, but alas, here we are again. Earlier this year, the actor — who sits at that wonderful crossroads of extremely conservative and deeply fucking stupid — publicly endorsed Donald Trump for President. Earlier this week and for reasons unknown, he decided to take out his deeply embarrassing pathology on an unsuspecting Starbucks barista, tweeting the above image along with this gem:
...
In case you are unable to tune your brain to Radio Free Dipshit, Baio had ordered his wife (who has a black best friend, so he is not racist) a coffee at Starbucks (a drink he apparently wants us to know he has never personally consumed) and told the barista it was for “Trump.” “Ah-HAHAHA!” shouted Scott Baio’s inner monologue (or maybe outer monologue, he gets those confused sometimes). “Because Starbucks is such a hippie dippie liberal queerporium that asks the public for gay shit like love and kindness, they won’t have the gonadical fortitude to shout the name of the one true Trump!”

True to form, the Starbucks barista in question didn’t shout “Trump,” presumably because he or she had better shit to do than cater to the insane whims of some rando they think they saw on Nick at Nite one time. Unfortunately, though, Baio has fans (HOW), who took it from there:

When you can't even get a coffee barista, who are some of the most helpful and accomodating people I have ever met, to do what you ask, you have a problem. lol

He's apparently pissed because HIS family had to enter the country legally. Oh, and "Praise the Lord."

The RNC is quickly turning into a shitshow, as I expected. This will probably be the straw that broke the back of Trump's faltering campaign.
