CLEVELAND -- There are war heroes, a casino mogul and even an underwear model, yet Donald Trump is relying heavily on his partys establishment to fill the speaking program for next weeks Republican National Convention.The presumptive presidential nominee has approved a convention program that features at least 20 current or former elected officials, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Noticeably absent from a speaker list obtained by The Associated Press early Thursday are the athletes and A-List celebrities that Trumps team long suggested would help make his presidential nominating convention unlike any other.Yet there is no shortage of political outsiders.Speakers will include four of Trumps children, Las Vegas casino owner Phil Ruffin, and actor and former underwear model Antonio Sabato Jr. And in a slap at Democratic contender Hillary Clinton, Mark Geist and John Tiegen will also take the stage, both survivors of the deadly 2012 attack on the American diplomatic consulate in Benghazi, Libya.This impressive lineup of veterans, political outsiders, faith leaders and those who know Donald Trump the best -- his family and longtime friends -- represent a cross-section of real people facing the same challenges as every American household, said Trump spokesman Jason Miller.Despite the list of familiar politicos, the convention program is a reminder that the Republican Party remains deeply divided over Trumps candidacy.Some of the GOPs biggest names were not on the list because they refused to participate in four-day convention, which begins on Monday.The GOPs two living presidents, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, and its two most recent presidential nominees, John McCain and Mitt Romney, all plan to avoid the Cleveland affair -- as does Ohios Republican Gov. John Kasich. Shrugging off the high-profile absences, Trumps team suggested the convention lineup would help highlight Trumps outsider appeal.We are totally over-booked. We have great speakers, we have winners, we have people that arent only political people, Trump told Fox News Channel on Tuesday. We have a lot of people that are just champions and winners.The New York billionaire acknowledged in recent days that hed be hewing a little closer to tradition.Look, I have great respect for the institution of the conventions. I mean to me, its very important. So were not going to change the wheel, he said on Fox.New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady, a Trump friend, was initially teased as a possible speaker, but will not appear on stage next week in Cleveland. Neither will former Indiana University basketball coach Bobby Knight or legendary boxing promoter Don King, a Cleveland resident and passionate Trump supporter.The program will instead feature people like pro golfer Natalie Gulbis, retired astronaut Eileen Collins, and Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White. In addition to the Benghazi survivors, former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, author of the book, Lone Survivor, will make an appearance, along with Wisconsin Sheriff David Clarke, a vocal critic of the Black Lives Matter movement.The convention will also highlight religious leaders such as Jerry Falwell Jr., son of the famed televangelist, and Haskel Lookstein, the New York rabbi who converted Trumps daughter, Ivanka to Judaism.Trump does not forget his business relationships, giving speaking slots to real estate investor Tom Barrack, PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel and even the general manager for Virginias Trump Winery, Kerry Woolard.And in a nod toward party unity, Trump will feature several former presidential competitors, including Cruz, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Ben Carson and Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.Two finalists in Trumps search for a running mate made the list as well: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Newt Gingrich. The other finalist, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, was not included in the program obtained by the AP.Trump had already announced that his children would be speaking, along with his wife Melania, whom he said was already working on remarks.Ivanka Trump, who along with Trumps other adult children, has been playing an increasingly central role in the campaign, predicted in a recent radio interview the GOP convention would be a convention unlike any weve ever seen.It will be substantive. It will be interesting. It will be different. Its not going to be a ho-hum lineup of, you know, the typical politicians, she said. Nationals Jerseys China .

PHILADELPHIA -- Aaron Altherr is glad to be healthy and back helping the Phillies.Altherr had a homer and five RBI, Maikel Franco homered and went 4 for 4 and Philadelphia used a five-run eighth inning to beat the San Francisco Giants 13-8 in a wild game Tuesday night.Altherr broke a tie with a two-run single in the eighth, Cameron Rupp hit a three-run homer and Cesar Hernandez added four hits for the Phillies. They blew a six-run lead before rebounding to hand the NL West-leading Giants their 12th loss in 16 games since the All-Star break.Whatever I can do to help the team win, thats what Im all about, Altherr said. Im just glad I was able to come through there and help the team win.After sitting out the first half of the season with a wrist injury, Altherr homered in his first game last Thursday but had been hitless in his last nine at-bats before homering in the first inning Tuesday. He is 6 for 18 with two homers and eight RBI since his return.Altherrs making a good impression again, manager Pete Mackanin said.Philadelphia, which entered 29th in the majors in runs, set a season high. The Phillies 15 hits were two shy of matching a season high.It was good to see all the fireworks tonight off the bats, Mackanin said.Angel Pagan, Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt went deep for San Francisco, which opened Tuesday leading the Dodgers by two games in the division. The Giants began this nine-game trip hoping to rebound from their worst month of the season after going 10-13 in July.Will Smith (1-4), who was acquired from Milwaukee on Monday to bolster San Franciscos bullpen, started the eighth with a strikeout before giving up an infield single to pinch-hitter Odubel Herrera and a double off the wall in right to Hernandez. Smith was lifted for Sergio Romo, who surrendered the go-ahead single up the middle to Altherr.Thats not how I wanted the first one to go, Smith said. Hopefully I can get in there tomorrow and do my job.Rupp blew the game open two batters later with his 11th homer of the season.Hector Neris (4-3) pitched a scoreless eighth to earn the victory.The Phillies jumped all Giants ace Madison Bumgarner, taking a 6-0 lead through two innings. After Altherrs two-run homer in the first, Philadelphia tallied four two-out runs in the second after third baseman Eduardo Nunez made an error.ddddddddddddAltherr made it 3-0 with an RBI single before Francos three-run homer put the Phillies up six runs.The Giants battled back against Zach Eflin, getting a run in the fourth on Crawfords 10th homer of the season before a five-run fifth tied the game at six.San Francisco scored all five runs with two outs. Crawford hit a two-run single and Belt tied the game with a three-run shot.Eflin left after five innings, having allowed six runs on six hits with four strikeouts and three walks.ALTHERR FOR EXTRASOf Altherrs 39 career hits, 22 of them have gone for extra bases. He has 11 doubles, four triples and seven homers.BUMMED OUTBumgarner had one of his worst outings of the season, but the four-time All-Star didnt factor into the decision. Bumgarner allowed eight runs -- four earned -- on 10 hits in five-plus innings while striking out four and walking two.FAN VS UMPIREAn unruly fan was escorted from his seat in the sixth inning shortly after a verbal confrontation with an umpire.Plate ump Bob Davidson stopped the game, walked toward where the fan was sitting and had words with him after the man was yelling loudly in Davidsons direction. The fan was sitting 15 rows from the field behind the visitors dugout.Davidson said the fan heckled him for two straight batters, but he halted the game with the next hitter up when Davidson felt the fan made a sexual reference and used foul language.You could have your wife, girlfriend, kids; they buy tickets, Davidson told a pool reporter. They dont have to come here and listen to that.Shortly after the spat, a Phillies usher approached the fan, who quieted down. A short time later, another Phillies employee approached the man and escorted him out of his seat.A Phillies spokesperson said during the game that Davidson complained to team security about the fans language and, when approached, the fan agreed to leave on his own.UP NEXTGiants RHP Johnny Cueto (13-3, 2.63) opposes Phillies RHP Aaron Nola (6-9, 4.78) in the second game of a three-game set on Wednesday night.
