Republicans look at multi-city convention for Trump's renomination

WASHINGTON — As Republicans scramble to reboot the GOP convention, one option gaining traction is a multistate affair with major speeches and rallies in a variety of cities, according to three people familiar with the discussions.

Part of the appeal of the roadshow approach is that it could allow President Donald Trump to claim having commanded the highest-attended convention audience in history, they said, and to accept his renomination with all the fanfare he envisioned.

"I think it's going to be a glorified rally," a person familiar with the conversations said of the president's keynote address.

After canceling plans this week to hold the GOP convention in Charlotte, North Carolina — plans years in the making — Trump and the Republican National Committee are surveying at least seven states and nine cities as possible alternatives.

1. Who's in charge of contacting FC Seoul to buy their fake audience dolls?

4. drumpf isn't that high tech yet, he's still hiring a thousand people per rally.

Also, these don''t make noise and part of the deal is the actors yell and brandish the signs given to them and wear the hats.

5. They will have to take the masks off.

[Orrex]

2. I hate Republicans, but this is a really smart idea

It means that they'll hack Trump into pieces and distribute him among the various convention cities, right?

Finally a Repub idea I can get behind!

[no_hypocrisy]

3. That sounds kind of expensive.

And you'd have to find three insurance carriers in three states to cover the underwriting expenses.

8. Surely you jest?

How many cities are STILL waiting to be paid after one of his Nazi rallys? Here is a suggestion, maybe Ivanka could donate some of the MILLIONS she took from the Inauguration celebration? Lots of overseas cash was taken in, then disappeared. SHE was in control of that. As dumb as she is, she knows how to take money from rallies, hotels, etc. I think maybe she took lessons from Franklin Graham, Robert Jeffress, Pat Robertson on how to fleece the rubes.

6. Expect any city hosting Trump

to become Ground Zero for protests. So, Trump will pick cities with the WORST record for police brutality.

[lark]

7. Every city he infests will become a hot spot for CV19 infections/deaths.

Given that, as long as he stays out of blue cities that's probably the best we can expect is to limit the damage to our folks.

[Miguelito Loveless]

9. Remember when a global pandemic

and imploding economy were our major concerns?

Good times.

[Scarsdale]

10. I have no sympathy for

any of his fans. They want to die for him, fine with me.

[lark]

11. I agree.

I just don't want them infecting us so want it to be in all red cities and states where they will deserve their sickness for taking no precautions and just infect others of their kind.

[turbinetree]

12. So instead of inflecting just one city, they want to do the death cult in multiple cities

to really spread the pandemic COVID19 virus.....................go figure, after all they were told it was HOAX...........

[Scarsdale]

13. This idea is the equivalent

of "flogging a dead horse" tRump is dead meat, no matter how the gop sees him. Of course, the people in charge are all looking to line their own pockets, so there is that. Rhonna Romney Whatever has an egg shaped face, I do not think tRump would consider her "his type". The paycheck must be really good, for people to sell their souls for this orange blob of worthlessness. Ivanka will be front and center, to take the lions share of donations.

[Scarsdale]

14. Which cities have tRump bed-bug hotels

there? Surely, DC will be his choice for at least one of these racist gatherings?Florida where his wonderful (!) Doral place is, with lots of "we call them bungalows". Ivanka will set the rates, and skim off the top as usual. tRump can shuffle onto the stage, holding a bible aloft, for the cheering, brain-dead attendees. Then in a week to 10 days, the area hospitals will be flooded with Covid-19 patients.

15. Maybe his BFF Putin will let him hold the GOP convention in Moscow.

I'm sure he can promise a packed house, especially if the option is to attend the coronavirus convention or move to Mongolia.

16. What's the point? Everybody knows who's running the Trump Party. I mean, for the Trump Party.

[Delmette2.0]

19. +1

17. Just stay the fuck out of the Seattle area.

[SeattleVet]

18. As someone said, all they really need is a large field, a wooden cross, and some kerosene.

Instant tRump rally!

He said they didn't want facemasks, but I'm guessing that hoods will be OK.

20. Wahooooo! My governor

Said NO to the trumpster. We in NC will be safe from stupid Repubs without masks spreading their garbage and COVID19. I'm not in Charlotte and glad to be elsewhere in the state, I hate when trump soils my state.
