"I told my team it's time to cancel the Jacksonville, Fla., component of the GOP Convention," Trump said in a coronavirus briefing at the White House, explaining that "it's just not the right time" to hold a "big, crowded convention."

Obvious decision is obvious.
Maybe he’s just slow to see the obvious.
Clearly, he is stupid and wrong and mean and evil.

Just like colleges and businesses are making real time decsisions to re-open. A bunch of corporations this week just said no office openings until at least 1/1. More to come. Watch the colleges and schools go on line too.
It’s not like the convention was anywhere near the last hold out, but hey would would anyone make the connection when they didn’t want to.

How are they going to justify tuition prices with no usable campus?
Maybe the schools can justify it, but how can the students justify paying outrageous tuition while sitting in classes in their mom's basement?
Aren't the pre-covid web based colleges much cheaper?

Of course they were the last hold out.
It’s just that your comparison is poor.
How many other in-person indoor events for 10s of thousands were still scheduled for August in a hot zone?
I guess if your view is a convention is just pure entertainment which I could see. Some think of it as an integral part of electing a new President. So my comparison is poor or apt depending on your personal view.

President Trump seems not to have a filter (or maybe feedback loop) between his brain and his mouth.
He was so mad at North Carolina for not guaranteeing the convention could be held there.
"Okay, We will have the biggest, best convention in Florida!!!"
Unfortunately, he opens himself up for this type of feedback. Most of what occurs to President Trump is his own fault.
As I have say before, the best campaigning Vice President Biden can do right now is to let President Trump campaign by himself.

She’s a personal of color more than half-White Obama, actually. She was born to two Indian parents. Her birth name is Nimrata Nikki Randhawa.
Person of Color increasingly refers to degree of marginalization although it leaves out many religions, many genders and many sexual orientations.
Who’s turn it is first to be VP to undo the sins of our history is an interesting question.
