    Maybe he’s just slow to see the obvious.

          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.

            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?

              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?

                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.

                    One thing this does is free up DeSantis to act in Florida.

                      Trump cancels GOP convention events in Jacksonville
                      https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/23/trump-cancels-gop-convention-jacksonville-380622


                      "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."

                        @Axtremus She is getting in position - doesn't want to be TOO close to President Trump, but close enough that she can claim some of his backers for the future.

                          Yup, she’s positioning for VP.

                          Not sure it’s related at all, but a friend of mine who works for Pence is departing their position today. Might have some inside knowledge of a VP swap coming?

                              I think she's great. I wish she was a POC, but she'll do.

                              Education is extremely important.

                                    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.

                                        Skin color is the most important thing right now. But an interesting new gender would help.
