Who ever is the sitting party in the WH always goes second.
For the same reason they always report their per-precinct vote tallies after us?
Incumbent party gets to go last.
Unwritten. Loser in previous election goes first
I believe the party in power goes last.
The “republicans” are the “opposition” party, you see.
AKA the “stupid party”.
They THRIVE on giving the other guy the advantage.
Bud, you’d hafta research that all the way back to when jackasses enjoyed slavery.
As CEO of a technology corp. whose clients were Fortune 500 firms, we had a major presentation to 3 CEO’s (incoming, outgoing, regional) on a negotiated contract over $1,000,000. Finalists were my firm - and IBM. We were given the morning slot, and IBM the afternoon slot.
I told my staff we were toast. IBM would have the last word, and they always use FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) to influence clients from using competitors (we had been an IBM Business Partner - until they asked me to do something unethical which I refused)
We got the contract. When it was successfully finished, the firm’s Sr. VP asked me if they had told me what happened in the IBM presentation. I said no. He then told me that 2 of the CEO’s had walked out of the IBM presentation - because it paled so much compared to ours.
Hopefully the same will be true of the RNC and DNC conventions.......
Better question, who allowed the democrats to use the color blue and republicans red? Didn’t it used to be reversed?
I want the color blue back. Why do the democrats, who are today close to communists, get that color? THEY should be the red.
When Reagan was elected Republicans were BLUE.
The same people who organize anti-Republican debates, schedule the conventions.
