    Why was trump invited to speak there? Its unprecedented to let the presumptive nominee of another party speak at a convention, because it is a very bad and unpopular idea.

    The article discusses all those who were against this, but doesn’t mention how or why the party decided to invite him.

      I can ask around locally. I’m not sure who went to the convention, but they might’ve returned with information.

      I know a lot of people were incredibly pissed.
