Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner has instructed the Houston First Corporation to cancel the Texas Republican Party's convention slated to be held in person in Houston next week, the mayor announced on Twitter and in an afternoon press conference.

Easy Fix:
Call the George R. Brown Convention Center the Houston Autonomous Zone and rebrand the event the 2020 GOP Protest and Riot.

Take the mayor to Court.

The Illinois GOP did and SCOTUS refused their appeal.

So, we can conclude that the mayor is a (slimy, two-timing, zero morals, low IQ, marshmallow-major) Democrat?

Could have saved key strokes by just typing “Democrat”.

Just looked it up, and a bonus, wanna know what race Democrat?

So expected revenues should be deducted from any federal relief dollars Houston would get?

But of course, Democrat state conventions are NOT cancelled. This is how they do it. Destroy churches by ordering them not to meet for months. Stop Republican conventions. As the diabolical Saul Alinsky wrote in his demonic masterpiece "Rules for Radicals": "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy."

That’s the Texas state convention. Only two Senators are likely to go to that.

Exactly. Tarrant County (Ft. Worth) will probably do but, if not there are some very large HS football stadiums in places like Ft. Bend County, Tarrant County, Brazos County, etc. that will do in a pinch.

I'm sure Jerry Jones would be glad to host it.
