re: #249 Targetpractice

I’m sure Donny thinks if he yanks the convention from Charlotte, there will be a slew of red state cities that will clamor and beg for him to bestow such an “honor” upon them with a 3 months deadline hanging over their heads.

Though he’s probably right: if the RNC in Charlotte doesn’t happen, every red-state burg with an arena bigger than a high-school gym will likely be clamoring for the “privilege” of hosting Dear Leader’s Coronation the Convention.

That this might cause *ahem* a few logistical problems - still less confront the issue of a contagious pandemic still likely to be raging in August - has probably not occurred to them….

Though, as an aside, I wonder if the negative economic effects of a cancelled Convention might not have negative (political) repercussions in Charlotte, and NC (since we KNOW who the Orange Asshole and the GOP will blame). I know the city is far from a backwater: but losing the business from a big political convention isn’t a trivial sum. Though in the Pandemic Year, who knows….?
