Trump threatens to move convention if NC restricts capacity
-
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.

Exactly why would that require balls?
You really do enjoy having your head up your ass, don't you...

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.

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.

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

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

Ironic, because this could put many of his attendees (voters) in the grave before Election Day

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.

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."
