“It’s the latest sign of how much the COVID-19 pandemic has upended American life and the 2020 presidential election, leading Biden and the party to abandon the usual trappings of an event that draws tens of thousands of people to the host city to mark the start of the general election campaign. Not even during the Civil War or World War II did the two major parties abandon in-person conventions with crowded arenas.” (AP)It’s the era of Barack Obama’s “Great Awakening”, and practically everything “in-person” is being done away with by the get-even-with-Trump-supporters, desperado dirty Dems—especially “in-person” voting. The biggest Democrat 11th-hour coup is the coming complete MAIL-IN vote. While the mask-wearing world waits for the second wave of COVID-19—bound to strike sometime between now and October— Michelle Obama, Tom Hanks and other celebrities are putting the finishing touches on a complete MAIL-IN vote, courtesy of their “non-partisan”, “non-profit ‘When We All Vote’ initiative. It will all come down without a single bang and without anyone ever having to step foot outside their house.
“Biden’s campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon said the drastically altered convention won’t be an impediment. “Vice President Biden intends to proudly accept his party’s nomination in Milwaukee and take the next step forward towards making Donald Trump a one-term president,” she said, adding that Biden’s campaign will continue to highlight Wisconsin as a key battleground state.” (AP)But so much more importantly, what will Joe do to put out the fires now burning America down, Jen? Will he stop smelling female hair and counting the golden hairs swaying on his own legs when in the swimming pool? Can we really count on whomever he chooses as his V.P. to wake him up? The Democrats are not, as they are accused of, hiding anything, including ‘Sleepy Joe’:
“Party Chairman Tom Perez said scaling back Democrats’ festivities is a matter of public health. He sought to draw a contrast with Trump’s push for a traditional convention in North Carolina, clashing with the state’s Democratic governor, Roy Cooper, and public health officials over the details amid the pandemic.” (AP) “The Republican National Committee has confirmed its official business will be conducted in Charlotte. But Trump has said he plans to accept his nomination in Jacksonville, Florida, because Cooper wouldn’t guarantee Republicans the ability to host a large-scale event in Charlotte’s NBA arena. “Unlike this president, Joe Biden and Democrats are committed to protecting the health and safety of the American people,” Perez said.”
“Besides events in Wisconsin, Democrats plan other events in satellite locations around the country to broadcast as part of the convention. (AP) “Veteran producer Ricky Kirshner, who has worked on every Democratic National Convention since 1992, will lead production of the convention, including the satellite broadcasts. Kirshner has served as executive producer of the Tony Awards since 2004 and the Super Bowl halftime show since 2007; he’s won nine Emmy awards.”And delegates planning to head to Milwaukee for the DNC can throw away their balloons, ‘Joe’s Our Guy”, ‘Hillary’s Still Our Queen’ signs because the convention’s being held without them: “(Bloomberg) -- The Democratic National Convention told state delegates to stay home from the gathering in Milwaukee this summer as the party announced it was significantly scaling back its nominating convention due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“On Wednesday, the party’s convention planning committee told delegates that they should plan to conduct their official convention business remotely. “Joe Biden, the party’s nominee, will still officially accept the nomination in Milwaukee, but the thousands of delegates who usually pack a convention hall for the week-long festivities will not be there. The committee said it is working to ensure all delegates can cast their votes remotely during the convention. “It was unclear how many party officials, members of Congress and other supporters would attend the four days of programming. “The Democrats have taken a dramatically different approach from President Donald Trump and the Republicans, who moved the majority of their convention from Charlotte, North Carolina to Jacksonville, Florida after Trump told officials in North Carolina he would not abide by social distancing requirements. Despite cases rising in Florida, Trump is planning a three-day campaign event in Jacksonville after minimal party business in Charlotte a few days before.”
