President Donald Trump said he is moving the Republican National Convention from Charlotte, hours after N.C. Gov. Roy Cooper said he couldnt guarantee that the August event would be at full capacity due to the coronavirus.
In a tweet Tuesday night, Trump said: Had long planned to have the Republican National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, a place I love. Now, @NC_Governor Roy Cooper and his representatives refuse to guarantee that we can have use of the Spectrum Arena - Spend millions of dollars, have everybody arrive, and then tell them they will not be able to gain entry.
Governor Cooper is still in Shelter-In-Place Mode, and not allowing us to occupy the arena as originally anticipated and promised. Would have showcased beautiful North Carolina to the World, and brought in hundreds of ..millions of dollars, and jobs, for the State.

Trump and the Haunted Mansion all in one day? Perfect!

Not enough voters in Delaware
Democrats are not secretly happy. They are quite opening happy. The entire city council is thrilled. They voted against having the the RNC convention there.
It’s going to be a challenge to find such a large number of hotel rooms on short notice. Many people may have to stay over an hour away from the facility. All the media people have to have rooms in addition to the convention attendees.
“The RNC can, in principle, tell him to go pound sand.”
Not going to happen. Maybe some grumbling.
Apparently, you've never been responsible for the planning of a major event.
The mayor, Vile Lies, is more than happy to have the RNC leave. The entire city council voted against having the convention in NC.
Move the convention to another swing state.
Only the simple minded have trouble with multi tasking . . . like you.
While you play amateur checkers, hes playing 3D chess!
Trump usually has a plan already all laid out.
I’m guessing this mayor, like most Dem mayors today, is under orders from Nancy Pelosi. Nancy would not hesitate to punish anyone who didn’t listen, especially a white male mayor.
They have been very coordinated from the Shelter in Place policies up to refusing all Government aid via the National Guard. People are starting to notice!....well, I hope they are.
Some people can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Ive been preaching Rapid City, South Dakota. The champion governors response to the flu panic was by SDs Kristi Noem. Not enough hotels? Send the press to bunk at some of the air bases out there. Make it work.
A double win. Take the Convention to a Red State w/out hassle. AND Cooper takes the blame and losses votes
Focusing on? The very second I heard the governor say he couldnt guarantee the capacity I knew we shouldnt have the convention in North Carolina. President Trump thinks way faster than I do and would have focused even less time on that call.
Great news. Make the cities beg for it. And if no big cities want it move it to a medium sized city.
Atlanta is now a terrible city. Phoenix maybe. Quite frankly the easiest city might be Vegas.
I know. I just want Biden to swallow his dentures upon hearing that the RNC Convention will be held right down the street from his bunker!
All said though, the convention will most likely be much smaller than originally planned. This will help to find a city.
