I'm not sure what type of person would want to date Omarosa, one of the great
villains in reality show history, but we're about to find out.
Donald Trump and Omarosa are teaming up (with TV One) for
Omarosa's Ultimate Merger, which will have 12 guys competing in various challenges to see who wins her heart. Her cold, cold heart.
Trump will appear on the show too (of course) and it will be filmed at the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Las Vegas. Not sure I like the name though. It would be better if it was titled
So You Want To Try To Date Omarosa or
Who Wants To Date An Omarosa or
Are You Smart Enough Not To Date Omarosa?
Actually, the best title for the show is unfortunately already taken:
Shark Tank.

On the other hand, don't elections require some sort of provision for equal television time? Of course enough networks will be reporting on both conventions to the point that I doubt John McCain will offer any complaints about a lack of equal coverage.
