Some Democrats are hoping to push forward with the party's convention in-person this summer to give their candidates the best possible start to the fall fights over Congress and the White House.
The novel coronavirus pandemic has shrouded the 2020 Democratic National Convention, originally expected to draw 50,000 attendees to Milwaukee in August, with uncertainty thanks to prevailing guidance to avoid large crowds to stop the spread of the COVID-19 disease. The host body also announced Thursday it was reassigning some employees and firing others amid the outbreak.
Many Democratic National Committee members told the Washington Examiner this week they were concerned about the public health risk created by the quadrennial gathering. Instead, they urged party officials to decide sooner rather than later whether they were going to proceed with the event online so planning could begin to counter a slew of logistical challenges.
While DNC Chairman Tom Perez has refused to entertain the idea of a digital convention, former Chairman Terry McAuliffe echoed presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden Thursday in suggesting it should be considered.
"Sure, it's possible we have a convention," he said. “I personally think it's probably most unlikely that we have one."
McAuliffe continued, “If we don’t have it, it’s not the end of the world. We’ll do a virtual one. Actually, it could save us a lot of big headaches."
Heh, heh.
And by “business” they mean Politburo.
If you think about it the Rats have succeeded with their objected. They got control of their party from the far left.
Dirty business.
Doing their damn best to keep BidenIdiot buried in a glass house.
So if the attendees quarantine before hand.
Ensure strict isolation on the travel.
They should be fine !
The funniest English comedy since “A Fish Named Wanda.”
Virtual hookers aren’t the same.
They will have a convention of some sort in the sense that they will want to get video propaganda out to the masses. No sense giving that up. Maybe what the public sees is just a big infomercial and they handle the business end of it on videocalls we don’t see.
They sure don’t want Biden or his people having anything to do with the technical end of a failed public videoconference.
You got me, gator. What movie is that from?
The Dems who now run my state had damn well better not go to this convention while they have the rest of us locked up.
The Death of Stalin. See it!
Which also had Michael Palin in it.
I can see Joe’s acceptance speech now. It will look like a rerun of Max Headroom.
Hmmm. I would think it only safe to just mail it in.
“If they go digital, the average American by November will ask, “Joe who?””
So will Joe!
Ah yes, this is the drugged figurehead leader of the Nazi planet from Star Trek. I see the similarities to an old not all there Joe Biden, being a mere figurehead if he were to become president.
Probably be better. They can introduce “Digital Joe” a CGI version pre programmed.
