As will the threat. There won’t be a vaccine for at least a year. The new reality is just starting. Notice what he says about China.

Austin cancelled a $400 million festival. Universities are closing for the Spring semester. The fifth-largest tennis tournament in the world pulled the plug. Cities are banning large gatherings.

I think this is the norm for a while, and the DNC is unlikely to be an exception.

The nation needs to be introduced to the Joe Biden we all know and love. They need the videos and the speeches of his friends. families, and colleagues to get to know him better. We need the speeches of Presidents Carter, Clinton, and Obama to fire up the troops for Joe. Not to mention rolling out the VP selection and building up a head of steam going into the convention. Picking the VP the weekend before the convention and then barnstorming the nation on the way to a triumphant arrival in Milwaukee.

The convention needs to happen somehow.

Particularly in the context of a potential health crisis. Having the convention when everyone is panicking about large gatherings could look a little callous and self-serving.

Both conventions are cancelled, or both go forward. Tired of always going high while they go low (and losing).

Unless the situation changes drastically between now and then.

The GOP 2016 convention was a shitshow.

Honestly, who gives a shit about an arena full of bumpkins in funny hats waving signs.

“Unnacceptable” - oh my. Will it go on our permanent record?

Do you know that France just banned gatherings of more than 1000 people? Do you think the virus cares what country it is in?

Was probably one of the decisive events that led to President Clinton's victory in November. It let people know who the real Bill Clinton was.

Not only were the circumstances tremendously different in relation to the candidates’ backgrounds, but something tells me it was a lot harder to get that video onto Instagram, YouTube and Facebook.

How about “Kennedy Snubs Carter On Live TV” in 1980, or “Riot Breaks Out” in 1968.

You don’t need to create a public health crisis to run a freaking video. Joe Biden was VP for eight years. Plenty of people got a look at him.

There is time before a decision has to be made
