Texas GOP Chairman Says State Would 'Welcome' Republican 2020 Convention

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Texas GOP chairman James Dickey said the state would welcome the Republican National Convention in late August as President Donald Trump threatened to move the event from North Carolina.

The state party chairman told CNN on Monday that Texas Republicans were also "on track" to have their own in-person state convention in Houston this summer.

"Texas would welcome President Trump and the RNC Convention," Dickey said on Monday. "Until then, based upon Governor [Greg] Abbott's progress in opening Texas, we are on track for our State Convention as planned in person in Houston in July."

The Texas Republican Party chairman threw the Lone Star State's hat in the ring as Vice President Mike Pence told Fox News that it was being considered as a host state for the RNC scheduled for August 24 to August 27.

2. Float that there will be a pig roast and free beer?

3. The large cities all have democratic mayors who would NOT welcome the GOP

I do not want a hoard of ignorant RNC types who do not wearing masks to come to Houston

4. Can they rebuild that compound in Waco or is Warren Jeff's place still available?

This is the stupidest stuff and a bunch of BS

Trump doesn't want it at Doral because it is too small. So, they're gonna need a big city, but big cities don't want the convention. so he's stuck with some place in the middle of nowhere...

Have fun with that stupids.

This is nothing but BS. The Republican convention is not going to be in Texas or probably anywhere else for that matter.

7. Waco is still suffering from the stigma of the "Wackos in Waco" - send them to Wink, Tx.

8. Ahh, I was making phone calls for Pete Gallego

All the phone lines were down in that area...LOL

Pete said: "Someone probably was digging with a backhoe. Happens all the time"
He was so matter of fact about it....

Yep, it would be a good place for the convention.

11. Does he have a large empty field in West Texas he's volunteering?

Or is he speaking for a convention center and hotels in a city that hasn’t been consulted?
