And that is similar … how?
Well, the Las Vegas mayor has been saying they’re open for business and the casinos are starting to open. I’d say he could move the whole thing there. Lock everyone inside the complex and my idea runs out once we get to the staff. I don’t think we’ll get the androids fast enough. 
Well, the IOC is a totally corrupt and evil organization, whose members ought to be jailed and flogged at best.
Same is true for FIFA
Now a Phoenix city councilman want the RNC to move the convention here.
The office is non-partisan but I can guess which party he is registered in. I don’t go to downtown Phoenix much. Come August, I have even less reason to.
If the core members of the Right want to congregate closely together for several days, who are we to gainsay them?
Charlotte is a pretty blue city. I don’t think most Charlotte residents want 50k people showing up just so they can all blow Trump.
Sounds great. They can swelter in the 120-degee heat and make speeches declaring man-made climate change a hoax.
But it’s a *DRY *heat. 
A “dry heat” works only up to 90 or 100 depending on what your personal whine point is. As I say to someone who pulls that old chestnut out, “Ask the next salmon you see whether he’d be poached or broiled.” He’ll answer he winds up on the plate either way.
People who have not been in Phoenix during the summer have no real concept how bad it is. WorldCon 36 was held in Phoenix at the end of August, 1978 and by the second day of the convention, the concrete plaza between the convention center and the convention hotel had been named The Anvil of God.
It was a bit of cliched humor that fell flat (on your ears anyway). I live in a hot climate, too.
You forgot the “sarcasm” tag 
Do I have to do everything?? 
I live in Phoenix, it’s not so bad. As you know, it’s actually pretty rare that we have someone die from melting.
They don’t melt. They dehydrate. On the spot. [/humor]
Easy cleanup: broom and dustpan.
Oh, trust me. I’d rather live here than say, Atlanta, so I get the Dry Heat meme. It’s just that it’s still heat, though.
Perhaps the Dems could be proactive FOR ONCE, and cancel their worthless convention, as a major threat to public health. This might shame/embarrass the gop (no caps here on purpose) into cancelling theirs, depriving trump (no undeserved caps here, either) of a measure of life-giving adulation. We, the public, would have to survive without the flood of doo-doo. Win-win-win!

The Democrats have been making contingency plans to convert their convention to either largely or completely virtual form for weeks – e.g. “DNC committee approves rule changes that could allow for virtual convention”
As for the notion that the Party of trump might be “shamed” into doing something sensible… well, words simply fail.
True. If trump wants an in-person convention, they will have one.
How come nobody gave a thumbs-up to my earlier suggestion of populating the delegates’ chairs with Korean sex dolls? I thought it was a pretty good idea.
