It’s just a matter of time before the convention is moved from the Quicken Loans Arena to the back meeting room of a local IHOP. The real downside of this, of course, is that the Morning Kiwanis Club will have to move its weekly meeting to a local library where, as everybody knows, they don’t serve pancakes.

LOL. Well, yeah. Their bus has actually been up on cinder blocks, in the yard out in front of the RNC headquarters for quite some time.

It’s kind of funny. The GOP is telling everyone to run for the hills, and cover your ass.
It’s a very uplifting message!

Every convention has to have a theme.

@josephebacon Don’t forget Marla. She’s a dancer.
Lol. All because their-way-or-the-highway didn’t work. Who would have guessed?
I like the Titanic motif, but why not incorporate all three, just for FUN!

Bobby, your sister is a wonderful girl, and everyone loves and respects her. But no one needs to come to her birthday party. I mean she’s nice and all, but well, um, anyway, it’ll be a nice party, don’t you worry.

I’d be interested in hearing from someone who knows more than I do what some of the repercussions of candidates not attending might be. I would guess that first time candidates make new friends and connections at the convention, get known and build support. Probably not crucial most of the time - but think Obama 2004. What’s the downside to skipping the convention?

This is just surreal, like the tsunami videos on YouTube, eerie and horrible, but you can’t look away.

Well, I’m glad these people are independent enough and love freedom and liberty enough to wait for orders from the GOP as to what and what not they can “feel free” to do.

I believe you’re right to some degree. I also am pretty sure that it’s been made clear to any non-star GOP elected official that if they don’t show up, show support and act like a good little boy or girl (well, their version of “good”) then there won’t be anything in their budget stockings come next election cycle or they’ll run someone else who is willing to lick their dirty feet against them in the primary.

I just feel sorry for the hookers who normally make a killing during the RNC.

Ah, hahahahaha! And the convention venue keeps getting smaller and smaller! Perhaps tRump can hold it in that 3rd rate looking spa of a home he has.
Ok, so let’s put a stop to this right now. Non-attendance at the GOP convention, ‘repudiating’ Trump, not ‘endorsing’ him, even voting for HRC–none of that must be allowed to separate a single Republican electoral candidate, anywhere on any ticket, from their elected Republican leader, Trump. You run on the Republican ticket, you run with Republican Trump. End of story. GOP politicians cannot take the benefit of the Trump phenomenon by running as Republicans and at the same time disown him. Not possible. The only way to separate from Trump is to separate from his party, the Republican party, and to run independently. That has got to be the dominating Democratic story. Trump = Republican, Republican = Trump.

Talk about not learning from history. In 2014 the Democratic Senatorial Committee mentored its candidates on disavowing Obama as a winning strategy. We know how well THAT worked…
