bailed on North Carolina: report
Published 6 mins ago on June 6, 2020

On Saturday, The New York Times reported that Republicans are struggling to find delegates to attend the GOP convention.
Adding to the uncertainty surrounding the convention is the trepidation delegates are feeling about attending a crowded gathering, reported Annie Karni and Maggie Haberman. Already, states like Indiana are having difficulty filling both their delegate and alternate spots. Many convention delegates are over 60 and therefore more vulnerable to the virus.
Indiana, Vice President Mike Pences home state, has struggled to fill its slots with the party donors and activists who typically compete for the highly coveted positions to represent the state on the convention floor, the report continued.
This struggle comes as Republicans seek to move most aspects of the convention out of Charlotte, North Carolina.

(16,616 posts)convention to be multi-state? I don't buy the "we want the most people ever recorded at a political convention" theory. It's more likely that nobody wants to travel to the convention in the first place.
In any event, this post is hilarious.

(28,774 posts)they still want to vote for him while at the same time they don't want him to kill them. Makes sense since they're primarily old white guys.
Proud Liberal Dem
(24,396 posts)are sold on the idea that COVID is a hoax or that it's no worse than the flu. But they don't mind throwing the rest of the "human capital stock" back into the economy because most of them are in positions that don't generally require that they put themselves at great risk and in regular contact with the "unwashed masses".

(11,949 posts)The leaders of the party, the kinds who actually go to these events are often educated and always rich.
They are more than happy to let the dumbass suckers they have fooled for profit die in rallies or in poverty from lack of healthcare. But act like those same marks themselves, never.
