"SNIP.....

“The Republican National Committee announced on Monday that its convention in Jacksonville would comply with any health regulations, including mask-wearing measures, that the city has imposed,” NBC News reports.

“On Monday, the city announced that masks will be mandatory indoors and in public places where social distancing is challenging.”

An admission that they look bad on public health messaging.
Acquiescing to the very thing PINO would hate most!
A big deal. The party image is more important than what PINO demands.
(I'm assuming he was against masks at the convention. Seems likely)

May not have many options left. Maybe they can have 50% occupancy or some such.

6. I think it's more likely that they will pressure the city officials to change the rules

They will comply with the rules, only when they change the rules to fit them. Then they will go, "see, we comply with the rules". Just that the rules aren't requiring masks or social distancing.

I don't know if this is actually a thing, but I second it anyway.

Or, they will wear their masks while in line, and take them off as soon as their fuhrer tells them they can do so, when the orange idiot appears before them.

16. Same. I'll be mildly surprised if the in-person convention takes place.

The numbers are horrible now--give it a month and omg. Nope.

Of course, I'm assuming sane people are involved and that's not necessarily the case...

13. The RNC said they would comply with health reculations, including masks. HAH!

Their particular (peculiar?) membership don't like being told what to do. They're goin' to show their independence by huffing and spewing in each other's faces. With luck their breed will self-cancel.
