    And you're too smart to even consider the job.

      Adlai Stephenson once said ‘Running for president is like being a football coach. You have to be smart enough to know the game but dumb enough to think it’s important.”

      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

            https://floridapolitics.com/archives/342752-poll-shows-duval-voters-oppose-rnc-coming-to-jacksonville-worry-about-coronavirus-impact

            Poll shows Duval voters oppose RNC coming to Jacksonville, worry about coronavirus impact

            The poll was commissioned by an anti-Trump organization, so definitely take that with a fistful of salt.

              I can see that even among the more thoughtful Trump supporters.

              The people who fly in for the convention are at least making a decision to accept any risk. The citizens of Jacksonville didn’t get a say in this.

              Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                The 2016 Republican platform wasn't talking about Trump. It was talking about Obama. I know that Ax isn't smart enough to figure that out, but surely the rest of you figured that out.

                      https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/04/us/politics/republican-convention-jacksonville-charlotte.html
                      Donors are wondering why they gave to a Charlotte event that has mostly been scrapped. And Jacksonville fund-raisers find money is on hold because of concerns about the surge in virus cases.

                      ‘WASHINGTON — The abrupt uprooting of the Republican National Convention from Charlotte to Jacksonville has created a tangled financial predicament for party officials as they effectively try to pay for two big events instead of one.

                      Tens of millions of dollars have already been spent in a city that will now host little more than a G.O.P. business meeting, and donors are wary of opening their wallets again to bankroll a Jacksonville gathering thrown into uncertainty by a surge in coronavirus cases.
                      ...’

                          Hopefully the Democratic donors put their money into something more productive, or at least something less endangering to public health.

                            I think it’s more like not running for office. But I do get that strategy. An election year where one side really didn’t run.

                              It looks like the Grand Old Party’s party is getting less grand and maybe less old.

                              https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/07/07/several-republican-senators-say-they-not-attend-convention/5389380002/

                              These prominent GOP members have said that they will not attend the Republican National Convention this year:

                              • Sen. Chuck Grassley
                              • Sen. Lamar Alexander
                              • Sen. Lisa Murkowski
                              • Sen. Susan Collins <== she says she’s just following her own historical pattern
                              • Sen. Mitt Romney
                              • Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner

                              Chances are more will announce that they will not attend the RNC this year.

                              Of course, one can still think that the RNC will still be yuge compared to the DNC since there may not be a real-life DNC at all.

                                Sensenbrenner is 77. Grassley 86. Lamar Alexander is 80.

                                The others either don’t like Trump or can’t afford to be associated with him any more than they already are.

                                Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                                    It’s not as if any of them admire the democrats or the media. Don’t pretend to admire them as they don’t condone the oppositions cause. It’s not evidence the cause is just.

                                          Can't stand Alexander ever since he was Secretary of Education.
                                          And Romney? Can't stand him, the greasy dweeb.
                                          I just thought you all wanted to know what I think.

                                          Thanks, Ax. You 'da man, budd!!!
