I believe it is the RNC convention that will doom Trump's chances for re-election.

The Republican Party has no principles or goals to promote. They have no accomplishments to celebrate. All praise for their candidate will ring hollow. All criticism of his opponent will be tired and stale. The boogeymen of the past have lost their power to promote fear. There will be zero "convention bump". "Four more years" will be answered with "meh", if not a resounding "no". It's all ready a clusterf*ck, and it's not going to get any better for them. If the party's convention is a microcosm and reminder of the last four years it is doomed to fail.

and tell their people all of the great things they achieved. And, as we all know, the sheep will believe anything they are told.

With MAGATS overpopulating whatever unlucky city gets the "honors." All his rabid supporters haven't had one of his crack rallies in months. There has got to be a shit load of pent up rabid desire to hate congregate by now. It will be like traveling to Mecca for those idiots, and you know they won't be packin' any masks!

of a pandemic, so there is that. Depending on the true rate of spread of the virus, it could have a huge impact on their personal lives and families lives along with fellow church members and community.

I think they might have a reality check after their big confab.

The constant childish "me, me, me, me, me" wears on you. You'd like to just wake up one day and not hear or see that orange fucker for one entire day. You know, like we used to do, when we had grown up presidents?
