Picture Your Acceptance Speech Here
Gee, why didn't the Texas GOP pick a stadium in Houston?
A discouraging sign for the GOP is the experience of its Texas affiliate, whose plans to hold an in-person convention in another COVID-19 hot spot, Houston, have come to grief. First Houston officials, led by Mayor Sylvester Turner, withdrew permission for the Republicans to utilize the city-owned venue for their 6,000-person event. Then a trial judge and later the Texas Supreme Court rebuffed Republican claims that the cancellation violated their First Amendment rights.
While it is less likely that Jacksonville officials will similarly shut down the RNC, there could be a mutual agreement between the city and the party that holding a “celebration” that just draws attention to president’s poor handling of the pandemic is in no one’s best interest. Perhaps Trump can just deliver his acceptance speech from Mar-a-Lago with his hirelings whooping it up.
Maybe because it's mid-July and Houston is already under a heat advisory because it's 100F outside, and the humidity is so high you have to swim through it.
I'm sure it'll be much cooler and drier in Jacksonville in August, though.
