Democrats to delay convention until August: sources
By Rafael Bernal ,Amie Parnes and Jonathan Easley - 04/02/20 11:45 AM EDT

The Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee will be delayed for a month because of the coronavirus pandemic, two sources told The Hill.

The Democratic nominating convention will now take place over four days beginning on Aug. 17 after originally being scheduled to take place between July 13-16, the sources said.

A source close to Joe Biden's campaign told The Hill that the former vice president pushed to have the convention moved while keeping the same format.


The host committee has not responded to a request for comment, but the move is expected to be announced soon.

They need the extra time to come up with a way to break it to Biden they are replacing him as the nominee with Cuomo.

She has been awful quiet lately.

@txradioguy

Naw,that's not it. This will distract him with an etch-a-sketch or something similar,and the election will be over before he even notices.

IMNSHO,this is part of the plan to shorten the campaign as much as possible so Bubbette! doesn't have to have bodyguards pick her up and carry her around,and she can look healthy.

@Smokin Joe

Well,more of a stumble and stagger than a run,but yeah,I think so.

She is and has been power mad her entire life,and I don't see her giving up now. Especially not when she really has no Dim opposition and it IS her last shot at the throne.

The longer they postpone the convention, the worse ol' white Joe is gonna get.

On the other hand, this gives lil' Andy extra time to polish up his Apple for the conventioneers.

If anyone has ever been a puppetmaster in politics, it is Clinton.  I believe much of what we have witnessed over the past year has been well choreographed by Clinton.  One of her prime objectives was to blank Sanders, and that is done without her taking one step to campaign.

Joe will have something happen to him, and she will emerge out of the convention, in AUGUST!!!  Sanders will get another house, and maybe become a cabinet member.  Joe too.

And we know the VP candidate will most likely be a minority, to strengthen that demographic, whatever it may be.

Clinton knows where she made her mistakes last time.  She lives in WI, MI, OH, PA, NC, and FL.  She does that, she has a shot at winning.

What is not good for Trump right now is that the mortality rate is climbing every day for roughly the last week.  We are at 2.5% mortality rate.  In the last 24 hours, we might get to 2,000 dead.  This is not good.  Trump needs to squash this outbreak, and do it quickly, however, there is so much about this out of his control, or anyone's for that matter.  And the Dems are like cartoon vultures, waiting to pounce and devour the carcass.

Trump destroys this outbreak and returns America to some semblance of normal, he manages to get voting majorities in both houses in a big sweep.

Biden said in an interview that Trump needs to allow folks like Dr. Fauci be a greater voice in all this.  Kiss of death.  The man is still questioning the use of Hydroxychloroquine.  Left to the likes of Dr. Fauci, we would have hundreds of deaths.  Anything Biden is suggesting, Trump should do just the opposite.  And that maggot POS Pelosi and Schiff have but one thing in mind, investigate Trump on his efforts with the virus.  Only California would provide America with POSs like these two.

What I want to know is....

Will the election be postponed?

And if not, will it be by mail ballots only?

Somehow, I’m thinking mail ballots could be a cluster duck.

No arguments, there. She is and will remain dangerous in that regard, and is not one to be underestimated in her lust for power.

Trump destroys this outbreak and returns America to some semblance of normal, he manages to get voting majorities in both houses in a big sweep.
Also agree, but quelling a disease out break depends on the actions of those who are on the front lines, those in logistics (Failure at the State level in NY, which has five or more times the cases of any other state except New Jersey) and those in government.
It also has the big media studios to continue their incessant campaign of hostility against this POTUS.

From https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/map-reveals-hidden-u-s-hotspots-of-coronavirus-infection/
using rates of infection, or this graphic using numbers by state https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-updates-united-states.html (Can't get the graphic to come up here).
But looking at the hotspots, most have something in common. Seattle, Denver, New Orleans, Detroit, Washington D.C./Baltimore, New York City, Chicago, St Louis, Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, all have Democrats at the helm, and the worst performance in this, either through incompetence, through corruption siphoning off funds in previous years that should have gone to preparation, lousy policy, ignoring the POTUS and serious advice for containing the virus early on, or maybe just coincidence and bad luck. Of course, they'll blame the POTUS, because that's how they roll. And George W. Bush don't care about black people (Katrina).
So, yes, he has to manage to get the outbreak stopped, get honest numbers and honest accounts out there in spite of the press (good or bad), and get the economy rolling again by November. It's a lot, and the situation from a political standpoint is much more difficult than just dealing with the usual Democrat stock in trade specious allegations 'he might have had sex with a Junior High cheerleading squad', dumped above the fold the week before the election.
I pray he is successful, not only to keep the Dems at bay, but for the health and well being of our entire nation, regardless of political stance, and all the other 'identities' the Dems are so fond of waving about.
 
Sorta sarcasm alert!: I really would only imagine a couple of Dems who would consider the sacrifice of a few tens of thousands of people to get power, and you mentioned one earlier. After all, dead people vote Democrat, anyway, so they might not consider that a 'loss', electorally. End Sarcasm (sorta) alert.

Again, no argument. They should just pick a few rabid dogs to investigate things to investigate so they could maybe do some of the work of the Congress, but then maybe it is better if they are busy.

The only way to do this "quickly" would be with a federally-ordered Italian-style total lockdown of the entire country. I'm not sure Americans would stand for that.

We have civil rights howls about the state-by-state measures being taken now.

There are "costs" to freedom.
We are currently in the process of discovering what those costs are, when it comes to contagion...

And you were doing sooo good! Bubbette! isn't the clever one in that family. To this very day she doesn't seem to realize that Bubba married her so he would have a shield to deflect blame from him.

Bubba is the genius tactician in that team,and as long as she "brings him the coffee" and is useful in other ways,he will allow her to think she is smart and in charge of something.

Not a chance. SHE is a minority,so why would she and Bubba be willing to deal with allowing a co-conspirator in for a cut? It's gonna be a white,or possible an Asia from a populous state like Ca. Somebody younger and physically attractive that knows how to follow orders while smiling a lot.

Not true. She has never made a mistake in her life. Don't believe me,ask her.

No question about that. IMHO,even if this doesn't happen quickly,he is going to get big points for not panicking and handling it in a sane and sensible manner.

Blaming it on China,instead of America and Americans,like the Dims typically do with everything is not going to hurt him,either.

 Not to worry. Trump is not a career politician,and he can't be bullied into doing anything he doesn't want to do,and there is no way in HELL he is going to listen to Slow Joe on anything.

@Gefn

My Chrystal Ball is in the shop,but MY best GUESS is "Not a chance". If we had a career politician in the WH that owed decades of favors it would probably be delayed,but Trump doesn't owe any of them a single damn thing but grief.

That is basically the DNC wet dream come true,but Trump has already said that was NOT going to happen.

[/quote] [Somehow, I’m thinking mail ballots could be a cluster duck.[/quote]

Ya think? The Dims would get more votes than there are people living in America.

Bubba was one of the sharpest "politicians" ever to hold that office after gleaning a pitiful 43% of the vote.  It's a damnable shame he could not use that gift for good.

No kidding. He is not only in possession of a genius-level brain,he is also practically OOZING with charm. Charm and genius are rarely found in the same package.

Still a lot of time between now and the election.  I see no reason to delay it.

I booked a cruise in September, so that is how optimistic I am.

The virus is not going away, so we will need to adapt.   :pondering:
