GOP moves main 2020 convention events to Jacksonville
By Brett Samuels - 06/11/20 08:47 PM EDT

 The Republican National Convention will move its main events, including President Trump's acceptance speech as the party's nominee, to Jacksonville, Fla., the GOP announced Thursday night.

The move comes after a break with the governor of North Carolina over whether the event could take place in Charlotte, its planned location, without social distancing precautions.

"We are thrilled to celebrate this momentous occasion in the great city of Jacksonville," GOP chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement.  "Not only does Florida hold a special place in President Trump’s heart as his home state, but it is crucial in the path to victory in 2020."

Just a little information that I found interesting; Jacksonville, like most of North & Central Florida and the panhandle, was historically populated by conservative Democrats. However, the city began moving away from its Democratic roots sooner than the rest of Florida. Except for Jimmy Carter in 1976, the city has not supported a Democrat for president since 1952.

Jacksonville is also the largest city in the lower 48 states.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-

I anticipate that this will be the biggest and the best convention ever seen; IF he/they can prevent the rioters from showing up and the media focusing on the negative, it's going to shake the DEMS tree for sure.

In terms of land area, I presume?

Ever since J'ville annexed the entire County, yes.
