GOP convention in Jacksonville is ‘tentatively’ a done deal

Washington Post is fake news, but we shall see.

Good move for the city to bring in people who actually earn a paycheck to boost our local economy.

New York Times is also reporting it.  I know, I know, more fake news, blah blah blah.  

But it looks like it's going to happen, and I hope it doesn't mean chaos, demonstrations, unbelievable strain on our police department, and a massive spread of Covid-19.  

I don't know what Jacksonville can get out of this other than trouble, but if it happens, it happens.

This is a bad move for Jacksonville. I hate to even say that, because any convention should be able to come here without the threat of violence and/or destruction.

You can't live in fear. That is what the terrorists want. That is how they win. Ron DeSantis isn't Cuomo. I am confident the city itself can handle it, although, I wish they would hold it somewhere other than downtown, as downtown is the most embarrassing cesspool I have ever seen.

Put some smiles on your faces.  Ron's got this!

Its a perfect plan to get the East and North sides of the stadium burned down so Shad can build something nice there.

Free demo! They should line up dumpsters. I'm sure ANTIFA is dumb enough to throw the rubble in there.

As long as Michael comes, I'm OK with it.

Khan plan to move the team to London. Stadium gone, city doesn't want to pay for a new one and he doesn't want to spend his own money, so he moves the team. Someone watch his accounts to see if a transfer happens.

Kidding, but this could happen if the stadium is burned down.

I have access to a few of Shad's banking apps and it appears that he recently sent a Venmo to Wembley National Stadium LTD in the amount of 1 billion euros.

Trump knows he's taking out his own voters by having a convention, right?

The riots should wash out the other side, so we're back at zero.

Good. I have a feeling this election will come down to who can be the most lowkey.

That's got to be good for Biden.

Biden has a record he has to explain and has to come out of the basement at some point. The Trump campaign has a ton of cash and will go on the offensive when the time is right. Still 4.5 months this to go, which is a lifetime. 

Not to mention the importance of the VP pick and also he will be pulled to the far left before it's all said and done. 

With the economy on the upswing and the lawless left going insane,  I like his chances.

That's actually decent analysis.
Nice work.

I think you're correct that we're going to see each man launch new and surprising attacks on the opponent's record and past life events.  And Biden has plenty of stuff Trump can bring up that Biden would rather not discuss.

But I think all that effort isn't going to amount to much for either team, because people just don't watch TV and consume media the same way they did even 10 years ago. People are much more skilled at dodging advertisements that they don't want to see. You've got people tuned into media that's generally only going to give positive stories of Trump, other people tuned into media that's generally only going to give negative stories of Trump, and a way too small minority of people are tuned into news can go either way. The first group is going to vote for Trump no matter what, the second group is going to vote for Biden no matter what, and the third group might not even vote. 

Ultimately I think this election is just going to be a referendum on Trump.  He'll get a share of the national vote equal to his job approval rating plus maybe 5 points. Right now that's not enough to win. Trump's got to ingratiate himself to the public more to have a chance.  But like you said, he still has plenty of time.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
