Circumventing the rigors of election campaigning and hiding Joe Biden from the American public, the DNC just announced there won't be a large Democrat conclave in August, blaming the COVID-19 pandemic. Going forward, Mr. Biden will continue a tightly controlled, wholly scripted campaign from the basement of his Delaware home, concluding with a "virtual" nomination.
Upon affirmation, he will then travel to Milwaukee to deliver his acceptance speech to an empty arena. In fact, Tom Perez, DNC chairman, informed the delegates they aren't welcome in Wisconsin. And while the DNC isn't planning to completely scrap the entirety of their convention programming, his fear is palpable and most likely attributed to the likelihood of convention rioting, Mr. Biden's declining mental acuity, and the untimely rise of the angry Marxist mob.
Undoubtedly, Tom Perez wants to avoid an encore performance of the disastrous 1968 Democrat Convention, at which fierce rioting just outside the convention hall in Chicago overshadowed the nomination of Herbert Hoover and permeated the nightly news broadcasts.
Democrats had already suffered two major political setbacks prior to the start of their 1968 convention: incumbent President Lyndon Johnson's declining to run again for office in March and the assassination of party favorite Robert Kennedy in June.
By August, there was no clear frontrunner for the top of the Democrat ticket, and the virulent Vietnam antiwar protest sentiments spilled out onto the convention floor. Given the current unrest in America, punctuated by nightly rioting in America's major cities, monument defacement, statue-toppling, and extreme far-left violence, the timing is ripe for all-out warfare on the streets of Milwaukee. Understandably, the Democrats want to prevent bad optics while camouflaging the awkward handicap of presumptive nominee Joe Biden.

In the end, this is what will sink them.
Even the short, manufactured Joe Biden asking for money youtube video I am forced to endure every time I watch something has him flubbing his lines - and that’s in a completely controlled production situation.
Herbert Hoover??? didn’t realize he was around in 1968! LOL
I really will be surprised if there is even one debate
But he’s beating Trump in almost every poll! By a 20-30% in some!
Biden thinks he will win by over a billion votes when the China vote count comes in.
Do you suppose the Democrats will push for virtual debates?
Herbert Hoover LOL. I think proof reading is a lost art.
Correction: Joe is beating Donald by 1,290,459,588%.
That's precisely WHY he is their nominee - he can be easily manipulated.
What is the point of giving a speech to An Empty Arena?
Remember - the dead vote Democrat.
> Herbert Hoover LOL. I think proof reading is a lost art. <
If I recall correctly, Herbert Hoover did get the 1968 Democrat nomination in Chicago. But he lost the general election to Republican Teddy Roosevelt.
Nothing that Two Minute Hate won’t fix.
How can anyone overcome such negativity?
I’m still not sure. I think the left will see Biden’s diminished capacity as a GOOD thing. He will be able to be controlled by his more radical handlers and his VP (who will definitely be more left than he).
I’m amazed they haven’t named a VP yet for him.
This person will do all the campaigning.
“Do you suppose the Democrats will push for virtual debates?”
They should add virtual riots also. You can’t have a Democrat get together without a riot or two.
RE: I think the left will see Biden’s diminished capacity as a GOOD thing
Of course, AFTER he wins. He will be eminently Manipulate-able ( not sure of such a word exists, but I can invent one ). That is why they will push to have their favorite left winger be his running mate for VP ( It WILL be a colored woman ).
Why are they continuing to pay the cost of renting a giant Colosseum for a convention if the only one there is Joe Biden giving a speech? Bizarre!
