Republicans Limit Jacksonville Convention Attendance | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Want to hear a funny story? The Administration moved their convention from Charlotte to Jacksonville because Charlotte would not allow the 50000 attendance. Today the RNC says the crowd in Jacksonville will be limited to 2500, and so they didn’t need to go Jacksonville and incur sunk costs in Charlotte. That’s not what’s funny; what’s funny is that the Administration now admits there are risks with crowds, but still mandates school openings. What? – that’s not funny?
My thoughts exactly.
Only when it suits them. i would not be shocked if impeached trumpee signed a ex order for everyone to wear masks. He likes to make problems then pretends to solve them. Remember the border?
They won’t pay the bill – LUCKY for Charlotte they moved!!
Cost doesnt matter. I doubt they are paying.
Republicans are trying to be the rotten apple in trumps eye!
@Ou812 President Snowflake is DEFINITELY having a meltdown. He needs to spend more time in his safe space, Hannity’s America. Let’s hope he stays there and doesn’t come back to real America.
@Zen Phoenix I think you’re confusing him with Biden cuz everybody knows the Democrats are snowflakes and Biden’s hiding in his basement so therefore I believe you’re confused still
Ou812 I think you’re just brainwashed
@Dani Vertiz Got skipped by common sense.
You Are A JOKE…Can Not Wait To See The Losers Crying Again.
They should do the RNC in Gov. Ron DeSATAN’s back yard! This way they can super spread all they want & bring them confederate blankets & have a sleep over!
Honestly I’m with you, that’s exactly what they should do. Bunch of idiots
👏👏👏😂✊
They are. LOL
Considering nearly 50% of Republicans have already said they don’t plan to attend this year….it’s more likely they are ‘limiting attendance’, as an excuse for the low attendance. Just like Trump claimed they canceled the NH Klan Rally, due to weather, when they didn’t even have 4,000 people RSVP. SMH
@mark christofferson But Biden doesn’t NEED us to. Ain’t you just jealous? Trumpty Dumpty gonna lose to a guy in a basement who doesn’t hold a single rally! PATHETIC!! HISTORICALLY PATHETIC!
Sorry guys. He dont care.
@mark christofferson I wouldn’t go to a rally if it was held in my home town of 8000 and they gave me a free ticket …..and I’m still going to vote for Biden. We don’t need anything like that to get us into a voting frenzy.
@Zen Phoenix Not gonna happen, our friends in RUSSIA will see to that Mmuuuaahahaha.
Jeremy Backup At least no self respecting musician will be there.

Sounds like they are trying to commit a cover up. Why else would they block people from attending?
They don’t have to block many: nobody’s planning on going and they know it.
They need to save as many Republicans as they can….at this point if all republicans follow Trump advice all his voters will be dead by November.
I have no doubt there will be “millions and millions” attending – just like the last one…
@Ou812 Joe does not need one. Keep posting. You and Donnie are handing Joe the election. Thank you in advance. I bet you will be jealous on November 4th the day after. Why are they winning?
@The Blade you keep telling yourself that the silent majority will stand and you will cry again.
Ou812 We will be just fine if there is no DNC. We know who to vote for without spending a dime and putting no one at risk. 💙
@Ou812 “Silent majority”?! Bwa ha ha! Is that the “majority” that lost to Hillary Clinton by MILLIONS of votes? While AT THEIR PEAK!! The Cult has nowhere to go but DOWN, sorry! Silent “majority”…pfffft! Time you Cultists realize you are a Tyrannical Minority forcing your semi-religious beliefs down everybody’s throats!
TheDesertsweeper I hope they have the convention at a super max prison.
Auckland. NZ
We’re limiting the attendance is another way of saying nobody wants to go.

Michael Marceau YES👏🏻YES👏🏻YES👏🏻 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
MAGA: Let’s the anti-maskers contract the virus then spread to their peers. They are simply the stupidest people on earth that the US needs to have less of. They are ignorant of the fact that #DonTheCon and his admin, together with the #RepubliconGovernors, have led the anti-masking campaign whilst at the same time having the privilege of frequent testings and premium treatments if they ever have positive results.
@NOW WHAT SAD. PEOPLE STILL DON’T TAKE COVID-19 SERIOUSLY https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/07/17/covid-19-ohio-veteran-37-refused-wear-mask-died/5457283002/
24 yr old spent 80 in hospital with covid-19
20 yr old in Illinois had both lungs replaced due to covid-19
true. i should know that by now with the last few weeks.
Jacksonville in summer is a steam bath. Don’t water particles in the air spread the virus? Stupid is as stupid does.
Oh and another thing – how many of the outdoor event attendees do you think will die from heat stroke? I’ll bet your mother’s wedding ring that it’ll be an item in the six o’clock news down there!
@Jim M A blessing in disguise?
Joel J They will have to wear masks Joel. Perhaps I shall lend them my motorcycle helmets.

@John Lightfoot Orange sweat will drip from Trump’s face unless he’s in an air conditioned tent. Oh, well, a sight to be seen.
Hold the convention in Guam….
They said that cause nobody wants to go
Big baby hands Trump going to be throwing a tantrum.
Isn’t that what he’s been doing for 4 years? He tried to warn us, but he refuses to wear glasses in public, so when the teleprompter got to the part about “so much whining”…he thought it said, “winning”…
KayLIE,”Don’t let science gets in the way to re-open schools.”
LOL
You got sucked in listen to what she said with an open mind…….
THE ANGRY QUAD
A skeptical mind is superior to simply an open mind.
Suggesting the administration understands or values science is laughable.
@Mark of Excellence Wow, like it
@Mark of Excellence I’ll take Optimism and Reality! Perhaps you should try ’em. A skeptic is also a Pessimist it leads to cynicism and a closed mind……..Good luck with that!
THE ANGRY QUAD
How do you confuse skepticism with pessimism?
Skepticism is the best way to ensure your beliefs align with reality.
Remaining unconvinced until there is warrant.
You’re not talking about optimism and reality….you’re talking about delusions.
You prefer to believe as you like, and struggle with accepting and adapting to reality.
You probably likely also use faith to justify believing without warrant.
Looks like you should re-examine your bias, little Bubby.
What’s the difference between a Trump rally and a Klan rally? The dress code. 😎
@Ou812
Your stupid runs deep.
I’m guessing your world view is based in mythology, and depends on the existence of magic.
Lloyd Acton Nearly no difference. Except people are more obese now.

@Ou812 I know for a fact he gets all of information from Fox News!
The new air conditioning for the GOP convention is where they wear the kkk robes and fill up on Goya black beans ooo yummm feel the coolness already
Outdoor events in Florida at the end of August isn’t a good idea, but it’ll be interesting to watch them all melt into nasty puddles.
wearing masks….
Is it ever humid there? LOL
@George Barbita Scuba mask !!
And what if a hurricane is heading towards them or they get a pop up thunderstorm?
lol it’s gonna look pathetic and even lower his polls more when Rep’s realize the party is over
then the American people need to prove that this November! Biden 2020!🇺🇲
Well, this should spread the virus. Fewer republicans to vote in November.
Lol, Linda shhhhhh
sad but works for me if this is how we get him out. dont let them die in vain vote Blue.
@Miso Mama LOL
THIN THE HERD !!
See. ….there IS something to look forward to !
They should have held the convention where more of their supporters are: Moscow.
Not kidding – I’m sure he could fill the Red Square with right wing Russians who love him.
You mean their masters.
Protect our republican selves…but, send the kids back to school. SMDH. : (
Republican leaders seem to think “asymptomatic” means NOT infectious. Vote ’em ALL out, they gotsta GO!
All jokes aside, outdoors, in august, in Jacksonville Florida. Gonna be a sweat fest
Hurricane?
Pop up thunderstorm?
And humidity is water in the air. How does coronavirus spread again?
@Zen Phoenix It is also in the air. It only takes one cough.
How about Alaska? Or the North Pole?
Poor Trump – his precious launch party is gonna be a bust.
just like his inauguration party.
Corona Virus says: “Rats! The Republicans are just starting to understand how deadly I can be.”
