  - I mean..i dont know that you could get bigger than T Swizzle. But still...not a bad headliner -- nm - Turd Ferguson Aug 22, 16:28 3
    - Plus expecting one pop singer appearance to do that level heavy lifting for the Democrats is Trump levels of desparation. -- nm - con_carne Aug 22, 16:39 2

        I could see that, but this couple doesn't seem to have any of that connection (and I would be absolutely shocked if they were substantial donors). -- nm - pmb Aug 22, 16:28 1
        
        I assume they were donors but not wealthy by any stretch. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 22, 17:15
