A Convention is a Moveable Feast--Hemingway


This won't piss off anybody in the GOP (Florida), will it?

To console himself, Trump still has moments of magical thinking.* “He says the polls are all fake,” a Republican in touch with Trump told me. But the bad news keeps coming. This week, Jacksonville, Florida—where Trump moved the Republican National Convention so he could hold a 15,000-person rally next month—mandated that people wear masks indoors to slow the explosion of COVID-19 cases. According to a Republican working on the convention, the campaign is now preparing to cancel the event so that Trump doesn’t suffer another Tulsa–like humiliation. “They probably won’t have it,” the source said. “It’s not going to be the soft landing Trump wanted.”

Jeebus, this Administration is turning into a train wreck caused by a falling 747 all hurtling into an exploding volcano.

Which would be entertaining if the whole country wasn't stuck on the train.

A Republican strategist close to Mitch McConnell told me that Republicans have Labor Day penciled in as the deadline for Trump to have turned things around. After that, he’s on his own.

The funny part is thinking that gives the rest of the GOP enough time.

*Moments?  You sure it isn't "hours and days and weeks and months"?

  1. I long to know Mitch McConnell and his gangster wife are in jail.
