      I’m watching NBC News live right now and they asked people on the floor of the RNC for their reaction about Biden having COVID. They all said they are praying for him and hope for a speedy recovery. I was waiting for just one “COVID ain’t real! Fauci is a liar!” crazy person but there were none. Damn.

        They know the media is on them and they have to behave and say “politically correct” things.

        Make no mistake, the RNC and DNC are carefully managed events. RNC tries to show as racially diverse a crowd as possible for the cameras and DNC tries to be a welcoming big tent, both to encourage undecided voters to come join the bandwagon.

          and DNC tries to be a welcoming big tent,

          As long as you agree 100% with the DNC…

          They have a poor record with people protesting how rightwing the DNC has been moving for decades…

      Yeah, that timeline is a little sus…

      But even if this is some kind of excuse, it would help his replacement more if he said he was stepping aside for a candidate with the best shot of beating trump.

      But that includes putting country over ego.

    They had people out here supporting a mask ban and acting COVID doesn’t exist because Corporate America said so.
