    Default Trump threatens to pull Republican convention out of North Carolina

    Maybe they should move it to one of those uber low IQ white trash states like Mississippi, WV or Alabama


    Trump began a solemn Memorial Day railing against North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, ahead of the 2020 Republican National Convention, threatening to pull it out of Charlotte, where the convention is expected to be held August 24 to 27.

    Trump contended that Cooper is "unable to guarantee" that the arena can be filled to capacity.

    Trump is completely unhinged and completely out of his mind, and he's the president, which is very scary.

    Republicans are in real trouble here, because their rules require everyone to be in the arena. The Democrats allow voting with people only partially in the arena. Worse yet, there are Republicans who will contest any attempt to have social distancing.

    The Republican Convention will almost certainly kill people. That is just a fact.

    The word on the street is that this is an attempt to have the GOP convention moved to his Florida resort.

    Trump really sees himself as the king. Forget all the precedences of the past. Trump has a clean slate.

    Trump, like so much of the alt and RT right, makes out of context statements with unwarranted conclusions.

    The Republicans can have their convention anywhere they please.

    The N.C. governor is "reconsidering."

    Reconsidering the millions of dollars lost if the convention is moved to another state.

    Money talks.

    A RNC convention there would guarantee NC would go blue after that circus

    Far too late to move the convention. Maybe you can explain why not a single republican official knew anything about a change of venue. More of trumps hot air?

    There has been no change of venue.

    The threat was enough to make the N.C Governor mess in his pants.

    If Trump's psychotic behavior is a foretaste of November when Trump gets the boot, I bet that Crazy Trump will have to be dragged out of the White House.

    Nah, his doctor will inject him with a sedative and he will be taken away by ambulance to a hotel after midnight on the morning of January 20.

    trump is going to try to do something like that. The issue is that any delegate not in the same room when a vote is taken is considered to have voted against whatever is being voted on. That means the Republicans have to figure out some way to cram a huge number of people into a big room, and then hopefully not have too many of them die too quickly afterwards.
