The GOP is reportedly eyeing Jacksonville, Florida as a host for the 2020 Republican National Convention on August 24-27 after President Donald Trump withdrew the event from Charlotte, North Carolina last week.
Trump holding one of his mega-MAGA rallies in Florida during the height of hurricane season - I like it!
Talk about Republicans in disarray.
Some convention activities will stay in NC, while the main, Covid-spreading gathering is in FL???
Please…proceed…(evil titter)
Heck of a job trumpie; keep battling swing states
What could possibly go wrong?
My sister and her family are in Jacksonville—but far enough away from the center of town to avoid the loonies. I hope.
Florida, coming to your state soon, more Covid cases, but by all means keep supporting Bonkers.
Well…
One thing that comes to mind, is that Duval County, is now a Blue county.

Nelson and Gillum both won the county in 2018.
I know a lot of people over there, and their local DEC has been aggressively working on registering voters, recruiting candidates and turning out voters. And that hard work is starting to pay off.
The GOP will reportedly still hold routine convention meetings in Charlotte to avoid potential lawsuits for violating its contract with North Carolina.
So they’ll end up paying for both places? Or, to be more accurate, they’ll end up promising to pay and then stiffing both places?
Beginning to prepare to commence to start to think about the inkling of the outline of…
The modern GOP couldn’t think its way out of a wet paper bag with a chainsaw and 3 tries.
My sister and family are in Jacksonville—but far enough away from the center of town to avoid the loonies.
I cannot think of a place in Florida that is far enough to avoid the loonies, it’s like finding a place in Florida without mosquitoes.
Guess Bonkers is just trying to spread the luv.
According to WaPo, NC is one of many states where hospitalizations have dramatically increased since Memorial Day.
Kinda OT…but not. Reporter Jonathan Lemiere just said reporters have noted that the majority of people in the White House are no longer wearing masks.
Now where would Florida Man go to hold the most irresponsible event possible?
It’s like they were made for each other. Please proceed Florida Man.
Isn’t Jacksonville well within the Sharpie Zone? Wouldn’t it be something if a Cat5 hit just as it was getting underway? That might actually be a good thing for attendees, scaring them away and potentially saving them from contracting the virus.
I grew up in Cleveland Ohio, and remember all of their concerns from 4 years ago when hosting the Republican Convention. Particularly their efforts to prevent violence between the open-carry 2A types and protesters in general - and that was before trump threw the doors wide for his PROFA MAGAts.
If the RNC does go to Jacksonville, I hope your sister and family stay safe!
Oh please, oh please…
They cited the lack of masks worn by the inhabitants of the ISS as justification.
That’s funny, but not as funny as:
“tentatively settled”
(From the article, apparently quoting from the Washington Post.)
Hmmm…it might not happen though, because a Cat5 might respect the territory of another blowhard. Professional courtesy.
