MILWAUKEE -- The 2020 Democratic National Convention has officially been postponed until August due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Democratic Party announced Thursday.
The convention was originally scheduled for July 13-17. It will now be held the week of August 17.
In our current climate of uncertainty, we believe the smartest approach is to take additional time to monitor how this situation unfolds so we can best position our party for a safe and successful convention," said Joe Solmonese, CEO of the Democratic National Convention Committee. "During this critical time, when the scope and scale of the pandemic and its impact remain unknown, we will continue to monitor the situation and follow the advice of health care professionals and emergency responders."
The move came following recent calls from major political players, including Democratic frontrunner for president Joe Biden, to postpone the convention.
IMO, as it stands now, both conventions and all POTUS debates can probably be canceled without effect on the outcome of Nov. 3, 2020.
“Hot town summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn’t it a pity
Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk hotter than a match head...”
‘The People’s Republic of Milwaukeestan’ is a tinderbox awaiting a match. :(
Hottest part of the summer.
Have it over in Wuhan, they eat old bats and snakes, Pelosi and Schiff better sleep with one eye open.
It’ll be priceless.
The anti-Trump Rally
The Trump Rally
Which was more fun.
I believe Trump would be great in the debates, and I think Biden would be terrible. We need them to show the American people what sort of person the Democrats have nominated. I'd bet half the people in America haven't seen him since Obama was president, or have only seen news clips of him.
I remember that “Star Trek” episode and the Nazi run regime with a drugged incompetent “dear” leader!
Great analogy with Biden.
His death is pre-scheduled. That is good for them. He’ll have more gravitas dead, they’ll have another Wellstone funeral, or maybe even something solemn and grave, and then the handpicked cantidate of their choice, who’ll at least make a decent show before losing.
Seriously?
President Trump is doing a great job. Even the liberal soccer moms feel “safe” because of the actions that the president is taking fighting the Chinese virus.
If the country is stupid enough to elect Demon Rats to take over, the country deserves to be wiped out.
Don’t believe the media biased liberal polls.
Those same pollsters gave Hitlery Rotten Criminal a 96% chance of winning in 2016.
We all know how THAT turned out.....
I admit that when I lived in the countryside outside of Madison, I used to think all that talk about riots and "race wars" in Milwaukee was kind of funny. Now that I live just a few miles outside of Milwaukee, it isn't so funny anymore!
They will only allow people with positive antibody tests in the door.
I grew up in Milwaukee. All of my Uncles were Cops or Firefighters or worked for Miller Brewing. My Dad and both of my Grandpas (and my Mom) worked at Allis-Chalmers and P&H through the years.
It truly WAS an awesome place to grow up...and it was a great place to ‘be from’ by 1970. ;)
I thank my Dad often for working so hard, bettering our lives and getting us the H#ll OUT of there! :)
“No shock. Once the Kentucky primary is done....within a week, I think Biden will indicate that hes not able to fulfill the job”.
Yep, Hillary will call him and within the hour he’ll make the announcement.
“This is bad for them. I dont Biden is going to live that long”.
Hillary has probably already made the arrangements.
And Milwaukee hasn't been a good place "to visit" since the 1980, a safe place "drive through" since 1990, nor a good place to "be near" since 2000!
Effing DEMOCRATS/Unionistas ruin everything they touch, don’t they?
The last Republican Mayor in Milwaukee was in 1908!
Aarrgghhh!
I know! I looked it all up. Insanity!
