A slot at the Republican National Convention used to be a career-maker — a
chance to make your name on the big stage and to catch the eye of the
Republican donors and activists who make or break campaigns.
In the year of Trump: Not so much.

With the convention less than a month away, POLITICO contacted more than 50
prominent governors, senators and House members to gauge their interest in
speaking. Only a few said they were open to it, and everyone else said they
weren’t planning on it, didn’t want to, or weren’t going to Cleveland at
all — or simply didn’t respond.
“I am not attending,” said South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy, who is
overseeing the high-profile congressional Republican investigation into
Hillary Clinton’s handling of the attacks on Benghazi. Gowdy, who said he
was taking his family to the beach instead, hasn’t gone to conventions in
the past and didn’t plan to now.
“I’m not,” said South Carolina Rep. Mark Sanford, a former two-term
governor. “But hope you have a good Thursday!”
“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.”
The widespread lack of interest, Republicans say, boils down to one thing:
the growing consensus that it’s best to steer clear of Trump.
“Everyone has to make their own choice, but at this point, 70 percent of
the American public doesn’t like Donald Trump. That’s as toxic as we’ve
seen in American politics,” said Stuart Stevens, a longtime Republican
strategist who helped to craft the party’s 2012 convention. “Normally,
people want to speak at national conventions. It launched Barack Obama’s
political career.”
