Had long planned to have the Republican National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, a place I love. Now, @NC_Governor Roy Cooper and his representatives refuse to guarantee that we can have use of the Spectrum Arena - Spend millions of dollars, have everybody arrive, and...


...then tell them they will not be able to gain entry. Governor Cooper is still in Shelter-In-Place Mode, and not allowing us to occupy the arena as originally anticipated and promised. Would have showcased beautiful North Carolina to the World, and brought in hundreds of...


...millions of dollars, and jobs, for the State. Because of @NC_Governor, we are now forced to seek another State to host the 2020 Republican National Convention.

1. Lucky North Carolina. BLOTUS did NOT want A Safe Environment.

[sheshe2]

23. Someone here suggest they use a cruise ship!

Sounds like a great idea to me! Contain the virus!!!

Then we can let them stay off shore for a long time and not let them dock again.

[Captain Zero]

36. Oh yeah, get a fleet of cruise ships and lash them together !!

48. Lol!

Well shit! Dumpie is so stupid he would call for all hatches to be open for a little fresh air.

Theme song for the GOP Convention.

[Me.]

60. +

[Retrograde]

51. It will cut down on protests as well

and it will be easy to quarantine everyone on board after the convention finishes. I can't see any downsides - well, maybe for the crew and staff, but I'm sure we can find enough MAGAts to volunteer for those jobs.

[Totally Tunsie]

62. NO mail-in absentee ballots, now.

It'll be a shame if they're out at sea until November 4 or 5.

[sheshe2]

64. 😜

[LiberalFighter]

46. NC is keeping their state safe.

[Sanity Claws]

2. Roy Cooper is probably relieved.

It probably feels like a weight off his shoulders to have these guys cancel their convention in NC.

3. Jeff Tiedrich: quit whining, bunker boy, there's still a pandemic raging out there

[Squinch]

9. Good. Remember the garbage boats? The GOP is the new garbage boat. Let's see

if any city will let them in.

[EarlG]

10. I wonder who will want it now

Which governor wants to make their state ground zero for massive protests and social unrest?

[Tipperary]

I was hoping he'd pack 'em in like sardines and infect the entire lot of them.

Now they're free to roam like diseased livestock.

[octoberlib]

28. The RNC is currently in Nashville scouting locations. They'll just be infecting each other

in a different state.

[Captain Zero]

58. woohoo!

[sprinkleeninow]

17. NC will prosper regardless and continue to SHOWCASE its talent, natural beauty and the best of three

worlds--mountain, foothills/triad/triangle and the seashore coastline. So there.

[nolabear]

44. I love NC. Mr Bear is from there and I lived there 10 years.

Still go back to family as often as we can. It’s a beautiful, beautiful state, and far more blue than people know.

[sprinkleeninow]

61. Blue is catching on! 💙

[octoberlib]

18. Yay! We're thrilled. I'm gonna wait on a full celebration, though because contracts were signed.

[JI7]

19. Are there any places where he can have this without the state or city opposing it ?

aren't most places capable of holding these large events run by democrats including in red states ?

Actually, why doesn't he do something for his supporters and hold it outdoors in some rural area. Plenty of parking . Plenty of open space to set things up . ANd it would be safer when it comes to coronavirus athough they refuse to wear masks so not as safe as they could be.

[fleur-de-lisa]

20. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Too bad, Bunkie Boo Boo.

[SideStep]

For his loyalty. Welcome to Florida, Republican convention. I’m sure you will be sending your best and brightest.

[Brainfodder]

22. With the current FUBAR thang going, NC just dodged a large one?

That is a shit show you do not want in your town.

[Ellipsis]

30. Good. He just guaranteed North Carolinas 15 electoral votes will go to Biden

[ms liberty]

31. Yea, the RNC wanted to fill the arena to capacity and

To have no health or safety restrictions for hotels restaurants, etc. Roy Cooper said no, and I am glad he did. We don't need them here stiffing our businesses.

[sheshe2]

33. Kudos to NC...FUT!

[Renew Deal]

35. NC must be relieved not to have the virus and riots.

[no_hypocrisy]

38. I believe the real outstanding issue is which insurance carrier is going to underwrite this endeavor

considering the risks of the pandemic.

[lindysalsagal]

65. Correct. Whoever does it will be the last frump ass-licker, and we need to boycott!

Hope it gets revealed.

[octoberlib]

39. We did NOT want them here.

D Rep. Alma Adams on #RNCinCLT: "The RNC promises to be a powder keg doused in gasoline placed inside of a nuclear reactor. To those who still think hosting over 10,000 people in August is a good idea, I have only one question: are you kidding me?" #ncpol #rnc2020

[spanone]

41. Another whining demand from the child don.

They should tell him they hope the door hits him in the ass on the way out.

This will hurt a lot of his NC constituents....but he doesn't care

[tanyev]

42. I'm gonna guess Ronna McDaniel and convention planning team just now found out about this

when their phones blew up.

[CRK7376]

My state will not be further infected by mass stupidity in August. We have enough of that homegrown type as is....

[demtenjeep]

50. He needs to get it through his fucking head NO ONE
