Trump threatens to move convention if NC restricts capacity
-
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.....

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

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.

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.

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."

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.

I bet it's not part of the official platform that every right thinking and right feeling American should believe that white cops enjoy murdering innocent black people, but never the less right thinking and right feeling people world wide believe that, because that political party wants them to believe it.

The Republican Party’s 2016 Platform that the Republican Party plans to keep going into the 2020 RNC:
https://prod-cdn-static.gop.com/media/documents/DRAFT_12_FINAL[1]-ben_1468872234.pdfSome interesting planks from the Republican Party’s 2016 Platform:
- The huge increase in the national debt demanded by and incurred during the current Administration has placed a significant burden on future generations.
- The current Administration’s refusal to work with Republicans took our national debt from $10 trillion to nearly $19 trillion today. Left unchecked, it will hit $30 trillion by 2026.
- The current Administration has exceeded its constitutional authority, brazenly and flagrantly violated the separation of powers, sought to divide America into groups and turn citizen against citizen.
- Our most urgent task as a Party is to restore the American people’s faith in their government by electing a president who will enforce duly enacted laws, honor constitutional limits on executive authority, and return credibility to the Oval Office.
- The next president must restore the public’s trust in law enforcement and civil order by first adhering to the rule of law himself.
- The current Administration has abandoned America’s friends and rewarded its enemies.
- The President has refused to defend or enforce laws he does not like, used executive orders to enact national policies in areas constitutionally reserved solely to Congress, made unconstitutional ‘recess’ appointments to Senate-confirmed positions, directed regulatory agencies to overstep their statutory authority, and failed to consult Congress regarding military action overseas.
- Pakistanis, Afghans, and Americans have a common interest in ridding the region of the Taliban and securing Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. That goal has been undermined by the current Administration’s feckless treatment of troop commitments and blatant disregard of advice from commanders on the ground, particularly with regard to Afghanistan.
- The current President and his allies on Capitol Hill have used those agencies as a superlegislature, disregarding the separation of powers, to declare as law what they could not push through the Congress.
- The survival of the internet as we know it is at risk. Its gravest peril originates in the White House, the current occupant of which has launched a campaign, both at home and internationally, to subjugate it to agents of government.
- We will meet the return of Russian belligerence with the same resolve that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. We will not accept any territorial change in Eastern Europe imposed by force, in Ukraine, Georgia, or elsewhere, and will use all appropriate constitutional measures to bring to justice the practitioners of aggression and assassination.
- A Republican president will never embrace a Marxist dictator, in Venezuela or anywhere else.
So in 2020, the Republican Party will adopt a Platform that has so many grievances and misgivings against “the current administration.” @Loki can probably find solace that Trump himself will probably never read the Republican Party’s Platform.

Comrade.
Comrade Trump.
It obviously has a truthful ring to it. -
