So, the Dem convention had EIGHT cities bidding for their convention, and Twittler had uno, une, singluar, ONE, and, he's talking shit to that one? Does the phrase, "Beggars can't be choosers" ring a bell, Fat Boy?

HAH! Trump Threatens to Ditch GOP Convention in North Carolina, the ONLY STATE that Wanted It.


The United States is witnessing the unprecedented spectacle of a president devolving into total mental collapse right before our eyes. Donald Trump seems to know that America is literally sick to death of him. His prospects for reelection have been squandered by his tragically inept mishandling of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. And his most desperate attempts to recover are sinking in a turbulent sea of his own making.
If Trump happens to check his favorite pollster, the disgraced and ultra-biased Rasmussen, he will see his approval at 43%, matching his low point going back two and a half years. Other polls such as Reuters (42%) and even Fox News (44%) affirm that rating. He is losing to Joe Biden in every head to head match up nationally, as well as in most of the crucial swing states.
This grim reality has apparently driven Trump off the deep end. His Twitter feed is dripping with psychotic distress. He's accusing MSNBC's Joe Scarborough of murder. He's feuding with his former Attorney General, Jeff Sessions. He's insulting critics (mostly women) as being skanks (Hillary Clinton), overweight (Stacy Abrams), and stupid (Michigan AG Dana Nessel). He even retweeted Jesse Watters of Fox News saying that President Obama will be in prison soon. And speaking of Fox News, Trump is alternately lashing out at it and embracing it with schizophrenic fury.
On Monday morning, Trump hammered out four tweets that are further evidence of his mental infirmity. He is extremely upset with with the Democratic governor of North Carolina, Roy Cooper, for not guaranteeing that the state will be fully open for business by the time the Republican National Convention is scheduled to be there. Due to the coronavirus, there may still be restrictions of certain activities and crowd sizes. But Trump is insistent that the convention be permitted to operate at full capacity no matter how many lives could be lost.
That's no surprise coming from the president who has presided over nearly 100,000 American deaths to date that are directly attributable to his negligence, incompetence, and even deliberate malfeasance. Trump's twitter opus whined that...
I love the Great State of North Carolina, so much so that I insisted on having the Republican National Convention in Charlotte at the end of August. Unfortunately, Democrat Governor, @RoyCooperNC is still in Shutdown mood & unable to guarantee that by August we will be allowed... ...full attendance in the Arena. In other words, we would be spending millions of dollars building the Arena to a very high standard without even knowing if the Democrat Governor would allow the Republican Party to fully occupy the space. Plans are being....
...made by many thousands of enthusiastic Republicans, and others, to head to beautiful North Carolina in August. They must be immediately given an answer by the Governor as to whether or not the space will be allowed to be fully occupied. If not, we will be reluctantly forced...
...to find, with all of the jobs and economic development it brings, another Republican National Convention site. This is not something I want to do. Thank you, and I LOVE the people of North Carolina!
True to form, Trump is demonstrating that he is more concerned about his own welfare than that of the American people, even his own supporters. If he is set on cramming thousands of people into an arena-sized petri dish, then they should be quarantined there for 14 days following the convention to prevent them from spreading the coronavirus as they fan out across the nation to their homes. There have already been numerous reports of spiking infection and death rates in states that have loosened restrictions.
What Trump isn't addressing in his threat to ditch North Carolina is that there may mot be any alternatives available. When the RNC originally put out the call for cities to host the convention, they ended up with with only Charlotte, North Carolina submitting a bid. That's unheard of in the convention business. And it wasn't because of economics, logistics, or security. The Democrats got eight bids to host their convention. So obviously the problem was Trump.
Consequently, there has been some speculation that Trump might move the event to his Doral golf resort in Miami, although he denies it. However, in his denial he accused the New York Times of engaging in that speculation, which the Times didn't do. This is just Trump's routine practice of disinformation to muddy the waters around whatever scandalous hole he's trying to dig himself out of at the time.
Being as it is only about 13 weeks until the convention is to be held, there isn't nearly enough time to find another host city that could ramp up quickly enough to pull off this large of an event. That's even if there is a city that wants to, which was not the case when the original opportunity presented itself.
What's more, the GOP has already invested heavily in the North Carolina site and would have to forfeit those expenditures if they cancel. So the likelihood is that the convention will proceed in Charlotte under whatever conditions the state mandates, and Trump will have to suck it up. Of course that means he will just blame the Democrats in North Carolina for his failures and elevate the hysteria in his tweets.

Sounds like Dafinch has been listening to CNN too much.

Texas GOP chairman says Republican National Convention is welcome in Texas.
Yesterday, VP Pence said in a Fox News interview that Texas, Florida and Georgia
would be considered if North Carolina doesn't remain an option.

You make up headlines just like shit news CNN. No wonder posters consider you
a clown.

I dont think its going to happen in NC.

You have a democratic governor. Why would he risk lives in order to host the RNC?? This would HELP out Trump.

Its gotta be moved to a State that take this on with short notice and has a Republican Governor. Also wondering if the city/state/venue will make or lose $$ by hosting the RNC and could afford taking a loss?

My guess- it gets moved to Jerry's World in Dallas

<<If they were so fucking interested, why didn't they put in a bid to begin with, schmuck????>>

Yesterday, VP Pence said in a Fox News interview that Texas, Florida and Georgia
would be considered if North Carolina doesn't remain an option.

<<Ahh, PENCE said, THERE'S an unimpeachable-no pun intended-source. And, he can "consider" them all he wants, why are you assuming that they WANT to be considered? After all, THEY DIDN'T PUT IN ANY BIDS, ASSHOLE! You're probably of the opinion that the brain dead wooden Indian Pence would be COMPLETELY forthcoming if they had no prospects, right? Are you also caught unaware every morning when the sun rises in the east?>>

A "made up" headline is, by definition, one you don't agree with (even though, in this case, the bids for the Dems, and the lack of same for GOP scum are a matter of public record), so, you just keep getting spoon the Kool Aid-or bleach-from Faux News (although, even THEY showed polls that Twittler is gonna get smoked by JB, much to Fat Boy's chagrin), you're a Brain Dead Cult 45 member, go attend the convention, wherever it is, and BREATHE all that unmasked, confined air with thousands of other morons. Lemme know how that turns out, lol.

What is posted in post 1 as it regards Trump and his campaign reminds me of

at this point is a pitcher who starts the game and who gives up five runs in the first inning, has not retired one batter and who then

totally loses it totally by walking or hitting the next five batters who follow before being mercifully pulled from the game.

In short they are in trouble, know it and are feeling the pressure!!

In the movie "The Sting," starring Newman and Reford, there's a scene where Bookie Newman sees gangster Robert Shaw trying to make a large bet. Newman, who earlier in the movie had conned RS in a famous poker scene, dryly remarks to the ticket taker, "Make sure you see the money first, he's got a habit of betting money he doesn't have."

Similarly, whatever city that ends up with this fat, felonious fuckwad would be well advised to get an upfront deposit:

Trump campaign reportedly has unpaid rally bills in six cities

President goes to Minneapolis, where he feuded with the mayor over payment


By CNN.com Wire Service
PUBLISHED: October 10, 2019 at 5:31 p.m. | UPDATED: October 11, 2019 at 3:48 a.m.
By Maegan Vazquez | CNN
President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign sparred with local Minneapolis officials this week when a local arena threatened to bar the campaign from holding a rally if they did not pay a $530,000 bill — a fee that was passed on by the city for security services, among other costs. When the Trump campaign threatened to sue over the bill, the arena eventually withdrew the request.
But Minneapolis isn’t the only city claiming that the Trump campaign has stiffed them for providing city services at their events.
The Trump campaign still has outstanding invoices from at least six cities related to city services, primarily security, provided during campaign rallies.
The Center for Public Integrity reported in June that at least 10 cities had not had invoices paid for more than $841,000 in services related to public safety costs for Trump campaign rallies. CNN has found that at least six of those cities still have outstanding invoices:
El Paso, Texas, for a rally held in February 2019 totaling $470,417
Spokane, Washington, for a rally held in May 2016 totaling $65,124
Mesa, Arizona, for a rally held in October 2018 totaling $64,467
Eau Claire, Wisconsin, for a rally held in April 2016 totaling $47,398
Lebanon, Ohio, for a rally held in October 2018 totaling $16,191
Burlington, Vermont, for a rally held in January 2018 totaling $8,464
In addition, city officials in Orlando, Florida, Grand Rapids, Michigan, Manchester, New Hampshire, and Rio Rancho, New Mexico — where Trump held rallies in the time since CPI’s story was published — told CNN that there are no outstanding bills or invoices.
The way municipal governments approach billing for public services during campaign rallies varies from city to city.
A representative for one city which held a Trump rally told CNN that they don’t typically invoice campaigns for city services rendered during campaign events. A representative for another city told CNN that though they do invoice campaigns for services rendered during rallies, there’s a low expectation as to whether they’ll actually be paid.

As Center for Public Integrity reported, cities typically provide public safety services for campaign events when they’re requested by Secret Service. However, Secret Service has asserted that there is no funding mechanism for the agency to pay cities for those security services rendered.
A person familiar with the arrangement said approximately 10 cities had billed the Trump campaign for rallies out of an estimated 550 they have held.
The Minneapolis bill, the source claims, was 26.5 times higher than the expenses for when President Barack Obama had a rally in the same location in 2009. In addition, the source asserted that Secret Service is responsible for protecting the president and interacting with local law enforcement, not the campaign.

[FONT=Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]DeSantis said Tuesday in Miami he hasn’t spoken directly with Trump, but his office let the White House know Florida is open to hosting the Republican National Convention.

[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]“Florida would love to have the RNC,” DeSantis said. “Heck, I am a Republican, it would be good for us to have the DNC [Democratic National Convention] in terms of the economic impact.”[/FONT]
