Showing Original Post only (View all)A major political miscalculation by Trump in NC [View all]
North Carolina is swing State, one Trump barely won in 2016 (or was another stolen State)
The purpose for picking a State for a Convention is to pick up good will and some votes.
But Trump decided that an arena full of worshipers is more important than winning NC.
So now he will have to find a deep Red State that he would already have won where a Repuke Governor doesn't care if they have a COVID Convention.
All so he can get his crowds.
What a stupid, egomaniacal, piece of shit asshole he is.
I want to add, this might piss off enough people in NC, taking business some were counting on, leaving some holding the bag (a usual Trump occurrence) that it could cost him a State he needs to win.

I hope he doesn't get any ideas about having his Klan rally of a convention here in Iowa

He'll try to have it at Doral, or close enough to sell rooms at Doral to Magats.

I truly believe that wherever they have their convention, COVID numbers will explode
