Republicans Rush to Finalize (KKK) Convention ('Apprentice' Producers Are Helping)

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Democrats set a high bar last week for the pandemic-era political convention, dispensing with cheering crowds in favor of a virtual pageant that encompassed passionate speeches, a charming cross-country roll call vote, vignettes from an Oscar-winning filmmaker and a low-fi fireworks display above a parking lot. A few hiccups aside, even jaded network executives conceded the party mostly pulled it off.

Now it’s the Republicans’ turn in the prime-time spotlight — and the party led by a former reality TV star is rushing to measure up.

After scrapping plans for a full-bore, in-person spectacle in Charlotte and Jacksonville, Fla., because of the coronavirus, Republicans are working to finalize a week’s worth of events that can match the production put on for the Democratic nominee, Joseph R. Biden Jr., while meeting the exacting — and frequently shifting — standards of President Trump, the Viewer-in-Chief.

6. I hope he literally and figuratively falls on his face.

With so many live events there are many opportunities for things to go wrong. Let’s keep a good thought.

7. I hope it's a wacky far right reality show

with Q Anon and other craziness heavily featured and with Trump continually interrupting to egg on the craziness. It really could be embarrassing for the Republican Party and be their Waterloo as Trump truly transforms them into the Trumpublicans. Think of the wayward boys being transformed into donkeys in Pinocchio.

8. They got a business dude from the Apprentice

...and some guy that "worked" on some beauty pageants. No directors or producers that anyone's actually heard of, managing logistics, tech & staging with politicians and Trump family members.

9. We had a guy with 11 Grammy awards for production. Soon to be 12.

They’ve got an apprentice guy.

This should be fun.
