    My point was that if 20,000 republicans get together in a big rally, there might be quite a few less republicans available to vote in November.

    This isn't about politics.

    I was only joking

      Let’s all hope for a big dose of seasonality.

        My prediction is that Trump will not have the balls to actually move the convention, or to actually have a traditional convention with large number of people packed in one place. Trump will continue to complain and blame-shift and that will be that.

          This is what new cases look like in NC. They reopened Friday.

          Can this be explained by more testing?

          Most data I see is every other day load. Would helpful to smooth that fact out.

            testing is declining and positive rate is pretty stable. (helpfully they add a 7-day moving average)

              Exactly why would that require balls?

                I don't have a prediction.

                I can't see NC giving him a guarantee. How could they? They could give some carefully worded 'if-things-go-as-we-expect' or something, leaving themselves an out. But will he move it based on that?

                Not sure if he wants to move it anyway, or if he'd ultimately accept a partial audience as long as he could blame the NC governor. We'll see soon enough.

                Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                  I assume if all the delegates get sick they will deny it.

                  I would.

                    Seems like the move from NC is inevitable. (Not that I think it matters much, really)

                      Cynical me wonders if Trump will find a venue near a Trump property to house the delegates.

                          We had a massive company shindig in Boca, close to Mar a Lago. It was great fun, however I'm not sure what the locals have done to deserve the GOP convention.

                              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.

                                    COVID-19 (Chinese flu) is no longer related to health and safety.

                                        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.
