It's
the story grabbing all the business and tech media headlines, no
not Trump, but
Peter Thiel speaking at the Republican National Convention Thursday night:
- Peter Thiel To Focus On Endorsing Donald Trump In Convention Speech | BuzzFeed.com: "Silicon Valley entrepreneur and venture capitalist Peter Thiel will back Trump’s positions on the economy over Hillary Clinton’s ... Silicon Valley luminary Peter Thiel, a Facebook board member and prolific investor, will speak on stage Thursday night at the Republican National Convention ... BuzzFeed News has learned that Thiel will use the opportunity to talk to both the country and Silicon Valley about his support of Donald Trump. The speech will cover why Donald Trump is better for America over Hillary Clinton because of Trump’s anti-war stance and Trump’s economic credentials. Thiel is also expected to say that he’s proud to be gay ..."
- The Strange Politics of Peter Thiel, Trump’s Most Unlikely Supporter | Bloomberg.com: "The Republican Party’s new trade-loving, free-thinking, gay, Christian, antiwar, rich-as-hell, naturalized-citizen [from Germany], Silicon Valley hero."
- Peter Thiel’s Embrace of Trump Has Silicon Valley Squirming | NYTimes.com: "Venture capitalists have a special term for investment opportunities that offer the potential for a big return but also carry a great deal of risk: high beta. For Silicon Valley’s political aspirations, Mr. Thiel’s speech is the ultimate high-beta performance."

This is definitely
not your parents' Republican Party--the
Bush family and
Ted Cruz are
out--Paul Manafort (Trump campaign manager) has a grip on the Convention floor and RNC machinery so sure that he
allowed Cruz to speak at the Convention Wednesday night
knowing Cruz would
not endorse Trump.
See Donald Trump Jr.: We don't need Ted Cruz's endorsement | CNN.com.
What is emerging as the new Republican Party is definitely a new and different amalgamation of outsiders + Republican Party insiders:
- Outsiders: Donald J. Trump & family (Ivanka, Eric, Don Jr., Jared Kushner), millions of disaffected middle class and working class voters, Veterans for Trump, Bikers for Trump, Dr. Ben Carson, Peter Thiel, and more;
- Republican Party insiders: Governor Mike Pence, Senator Jeff Sessions, Governor Chris Christie, Governor Scott Walker, influential conservative commentator Laura Ingraham, Sheldon Adelson, and RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, to name just a few.
Say what you will, Trump and his campaign have successfully thrown the legacy of George W. Bush--including the financial crisis and housing bubble crash, and particularly, the disastrous intervention into Iraq--off the back of the Grand Old Party (which is why the
neo-cons and liberal establishment both despise Trump). Most mainstream media, elitists, and
inside the beltway establishment, still cannot believe it, but Trump has overcome unbelievable odds with a highly unorthodox campaign (including use of social media) that has no historical precedent.
And it all happens LIVE Thursday night at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Watch the video above as it happens--
Primetime Program begins 7:30 P.M. EDT (schedule subject to change):

Oh, and by the way, remember all those pre-convention stories in mainstream media about
all the protests and violence that would happen this week in Cleveland? Mainstream media was WRONG, again:
