Circumventing the rigors of election campaigning and hiding Joe Biden from the American public, the DNC just announced there won't be a large Democrat conclave in August, blaming the COVID-19 pandemic. Going forward, Mr. Biden will continue a tightly controlled, wholly scripted campaign from the basement of his Delaware home, concluding with a "virtual" nomination.
Upon affirmation, he will then travel to Milwaukee to deliver his acceptance speech to an empty arena. In fact, Tom Perez, DNC chairman, informed the delegates they aren't welcome in Wisconsin. And while the DNC isn't planning to completely scrap the entirety of their convention programming, his fear is palpable and most likely attributed to the likelihood of convention rioting, Mr. Biden's declining mental acuity, and the untimely rise of the angry Marxist mob.
Undoubtedly, Tom Perez wants to avoid an encore performance of the disastrous 1968 Democrat Convention, at which fierce rioting just outside the convention hall in Chicago overshadowed the nomination of Herbert Hoover and permeated the nightly news broadcasts.
Democrats had already suffered two major political setbacks prior to the start of their 1968 convention: incumbent President Lyndon Johnson's declining to run again for office in March and the assassination of party favorite Robert Kennedy in June.
By August, there was no clear frontrunner for the top of the Democrat ticket, and the virulent Vietnam antiwar protest sentiments spilled out onto the convention floor. Given the current unrest in America, punctuated by nightly rioting in America's major cities, monument defacement, statue-toppling, and extreme far-left violence, the timing is ripe for all-out warfare on the streets of Milwaukee. Understandably, the Democrats want to prevent bad optics while camouflaging the awkward handicap of presumptive nominee Joe Biden.

Why are they continuing to pay the cost of renting a giant Colosseum for a convention if the only one there is Joe Biden giving a speech? Bizarre!
So, they can still re-affirm their platform, abortion for all for whenever, no such thing as God, etc.
LOL Hubert Humphrey just rolled over in his grave.
I read this morning John F’n Kerry and John Kasich are teaming up for a World War Zero climate change campaign. Is this the real story?
Joe Biden may not be up to the task, and in a more rational world, this would put the “Reject” stamp upon him. But these are not sane or rational times, and through a combination of “voter participation management” and outright fraud, he could conceivably be slipped in the side door with a victory over Donald Trump, then under the 25th Amendment, install the REAL radical as President.
Whoever is chosen as Vice-President by the Democrats is the one to watch. But of course that is already old advice.
Remember the admonition a few years that we should “crawl over broken glass to get to the polls”? This time, there is REAL broken glass, and the crawl will be much longer.
Virtual debates? Well, I’m sure the two podiums can be closed more than 6 feet apart, but They might outlaw any roaming around on the stage. Of course, Joe will be perfectly safe if he wears a mask. It might muffled his speech, but he does a pretty good job of muffling it all by himself, anyway.
Biden’s advisers have adopted this campaign strategy:
Confine Joe to his basement, no press conferences. Trot him out to recite carefully scripted messages for the cameras. Then lead him back to his stall.
This enables Biden to avoid the blazing questions that are dividing not only Democrats and Republicans but liberals and leftists. And most of these issues touch on the explosive subject of race.
I wonder if they will still use the backdrop of the Navy . . . Which turned out to be a picture of the Soviet Navy. . . . during “military” night of the convention.
But CNN, etc., etc., etc. have a multitude of poll numbers that BidenIdiot winning easily come November. /s
They can easily do real debates, even 10 feet apart is fine.
Well, he has the same initials a Hubert Humphrey.
The Democrats KNOW they are clearly not up to the task.
The media can’t save the Titanic party not enough ill-informed people to take the bait of their lies,their history proves how useless and dangerous they are.
Joe Biden will pick Ruth Ginsburg as VP.
The rats will just have to work harder to steal the election and override the will of the people.
And, you know what? We'll just let them.
Hubert Humphrey, Herbert Hoover ... they must have been running mates. The 4-H ticket.
Bet on Michelle O.
But...but...but...the polls say he’s winning! < /sarc >
Interesting, original article says Hubert Humphrey.
