Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the deadly pandemic sweeping through his state could help decide whether President Donald Trump gives his acceptance speech next month at the Republican convention to a packed crowd --- or a lot of empty seats.
Currently, Florida is operating under an executive order that DeSantis put in place to combat the virus spread which requires that all big sports venues operate at no more than 50 percent capacity, the governors spokeswoman Helen Aguirre Ferre confirmed.
That includes VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, the 15,000-seat venue where Republicans intend to gather from August 24 to 27 to hold the hoopla-packed portion of Trumps renomination for a second term.
Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry, the citys popular Republican mayor, said recently they are keeping close tabs on the unfolding crisis to see whether its safe enough to have a mass gathering like the GOP convention at the end of August.

That way all the Rethugs in America could come and hang out in big air conditioned tents with no masks or other restrictions and they could hug and kiss and pontificate in each other's faces and get drunk and even have sex in the desert and no one would care.
