9. Florida and Georgia (surprise) have volunteered.

There’s no shortage of lunatics who’d walk into an alligator pit for their insane, atavistic “Dear Leader.”

In Audacious Move, Georgia and Florida Governors Offer to Host G.O.P. Convention
The party is still contractually obligated to hold the event in North Carolina, but President Trump has threatened a change of location as the state’s Democratic governor urges caution because of the coronavirus.

The governors of Georgia and Florida, seizing on a tweet from President Trump, made an audacious move on Tuesday, offering their states’ hosting services for the Republican National Convention, which the party is contractually obligated to hold in Charlotte, N.C.

That contract was signed nearly two years ago, and moving a 50,000-person, multimillion-dollar event less than three months before it happens would be extraordinary.

But Mr. Trump — in contrast to the host committee that is coordinating the event — threatened on Monday to move the convention unless Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina provided a “guarantee” that there would be no coronavirus-related restrictions on the size of the event. And Mr. Cooper, a Democrat, refused to do so.
