Yes, they must be allowed to hold a convention or else Democrats in power could deny Republicans the right to hold a convention or even organize.

I have no doubt the rat 🐀 bastards would do exactly that, if they could get away with it.

We all know they hate America
They hate American society. They feel entitled to control American society by controlling American government.

If anyone suggests that society and government are the same thing, know that that foolish conceit is nothing new. Thomas Paine put paid to that nonsense in the first two paragraphs of Common Sense.

Society and government are closer to being antonyms than synonyms.

Sorry but I find this to be a dumb question!

They’re Americans, maybe they don’t like being Americans but they are free to hold a convention and complain about it. They then can nominate a chief crank\complainer to run for Prez & VicePrez!

There is an obvious asymmetry in what is happening in our politics. It's like two guys going into the ring, agreeing to box. But one is not following the boxing rules, he's holding, hitting in the clinch, smashsing his foot down on the opposing fighters foot, "lacing".

In boxing there is a ref. In our fight there isn't, it's honor system, and one side has no honor.

The other side is compelled to maintain their honor, which is honorable.

If you lose the boxing match, it's merely a contest you lost.

If we lose the contest with the Left then we will lose America.

At some point, as they continue to cheat and cheat (and I consider what they are doing TODAY to our President cheating) I think we really have to think about what we are actually willing to DO to say our country.

An immense, super large protest (which I am suggesting will be inherently disruptive by virtue of the number of people alone, with everyone doing their very best to neither instigate not respond to lawbreaking and violence) is in the tradition of American patriotism. (Business as usual was not conducted in Washington DC when MLK gave his "I have a Dream" speech).

I think they’re just making fools of themselves and everyone who is normal knows it!

The convention is scheduled to be held from July 13–16, 2020, at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Well now, I know what days I'm taking off and trekking up to Milwaukee (from my home on the far southwest side of Shitcago) to protest!

@FISERV Forum ... now there's a company that needs to suffer all Freepers wrath! They're headquartered in Brookfield, Wisconsin just outside Milwuakee!

“Should the Democrats be allowed to hold a Presidential Convention?,”

Only if they promise not to spit on flag carrying Boy Scouts!

I guess I worry about how many people are normal. In Oregon, it's a minority.

In fact if you look at the USA in every place that Democrats are in control "normal" is in the minority.

So, ab-normal controls the House, and ab-Normal won the popular vote, which isn't determinative but is a pretty good indicator that Trump's 2016 victory was not a sure thing.

And 2020 looks even less sure. A lot of people do get worn down by the constant Trump bashing, I've noticed it among my friends.

The commies, oops Democrats need to hold their convention. ALL their news outlets will be broadcasting it for the whole country to see. They need to be seen as anti American, Maduro type communists. Let their own mobs raise hell outside, like Chicago 1968. I really hope that they bring back obummer as a speaker.

It's a well argued alternative. But I get back to my asymetry article.

Do you think the left-wing goons will not descend on the GOP convention in 2020?

The left wing thugs will protest both parties gatherings. They want anarchy, but don’t realize what will happen to them if they get their wish. The revolutionaries are the first to be purged after a revolution. Along with the press.
