The Southern Democrat with the power to shut down Trump's convention
Politco ^ | May 8, 2020 | Maya King

North Carolina Roy Cooper has got a doozy on his hands.

He’s a Democratic governor, up for reelection in a Republican-leaning Southern swing state, pushing a go-slow approach to reopening the economy as protests intensify and neighboring states move quicker.

But that’s just the start: How the first-term governor handles his state's reopening will likely dictate whether President Donald Trump and the Republican Party can forge ahead with a full-fledged convention in Charlotte this summer.

This article simply reveals just how much in the tank the media is for the Democrats. I think Charlotte is a poor choice for a convention anyway.

Move it to Fort Mill, South Carolina. And when the motels fill up, commute from Greenville and Spartanburg.

Added bonus: lots of cool pictures with the “Peachoid” in driving up I-85.

Let him. Pick a stadium in Florida and have an even larger convention/rally. Let Charlotte take the financial hit.

POTUS Trump can come to Tarrant County (Texas y’all) and hold the convention at Jerry World.

Trump should move it TODAY. Let Cooper go cry to Politico over the lost revenue.

He can’t shut down sh*t.
When did South Carolina become the only state in the country?

Host it at Dolphins stadium in Miami. The virus hates the heat and humidity.

The CEO of Royal Caribbean is supposedly a Trump supporter. How about opening up one of those huge idled cruise ships. This would let Royal Caribbean show off its new anti-virus sanitation measures AND by taking the ship out to sea, foil the plans of any Antifa protester types.

Give the delegates a 6-day cruise. Give the press interior cabins
