Trump threatens to move convention if NC restricts capacity

@jon-nyc said in Trump threatens to move convention if NC restricts capacity:
Cynical me wonders if Trump will find a venue near a Trump property to house the delegates.
Doesn’t need to be Trump himself. There are enough people on his staff who wants to please him who will nudge deliberations that way. If the GOP wants to have their national convention at or near a Trump Organization property, let them. It’s party money, it’s donor money; they can decide where they spend it.

Trump said ‘we can’t do social distancing’ at convention, and attendees shall not be required to wear mask. He wants a packed stadium of maskless crowd cheering his coronation.

Are you saying Trump puts his own personal political interest above the health and safety of his supporters?
Say it ain’t so, Don.

I find it rather amusing the way just two weeks ago the Left wanted people arrested if they went outside without a mask, but now they can "protest" by the thousands and nothing is said about the Chinese virus, but they pick right back up again when talking about the Republican convention.
It seems it's only republicans who have to stay at home.....

Take it one step further...once he did that as our leader he gave permission for all the protesters. Maybe the thought of injecting bleach as encouragment was a rational fear.

Trump to start doing campaign mega rallies in June 2020.

As for the formal nomination of Trump to again be the Republican Party’s Presidential candidate, will it happen in a Jacksonville, Florida?
Oh, and this little paragraph in the article caught my eyes:
“The RNC’s executive committee voted Wednesday to reuse its 2016 platform to avoid requiring delegates to debate and vote on new policies, according to a person familiar with the decision.”
It looks to me like they are afraid that if there is a debate and a vote on policies, both will end up embarrassing.

Can you even imagine what a cesspool of conspiracy theory and covid hoax nuttery that would be?

OK, now that you mention it, I shall revise my statement to read: "It looks to me like they are afraid that if there is a debate and a vote on policies, both will end up being very embarrassing."

Whattabout Biden?!?!?!? Whattabout the Dems?!?!?

Yeah sure, but just realize that by resorting to whattaboutism you’ve basically conceded my point.

Sure I did. You opined about nuttery and I gave you a real life proof point. If one can whatabout something real as a retort to a hypothetical and that is whataboutism then whataboutism loses its rhetorical punch.

Really? The 2016 Democratic Platform called Trump a Russian Spy? I wouldn't be completely shocked if it did, but my money would bet the other way.

Nobody reads the platform. The MSM and the people they quote and interview are the source of truth in this country. I stand corrected too not a Russian Spy but an agent of Russia who apparently was “made” in a golden shower ceremony.
