1. I don't think he wants to be associated with the Republican Party

anymore than the rest do.

2. That

and delaying his acceptance of the nomination gives him more time to spend his primary funds.

3. This isn't "compassionate conservatism"

It's all about media coverage.

5. "Katie I'm standing on the convention floor" or 'Katie, I'm standing inside a Hurricane"

Now, which one would we watch? I'm going for the hurricane.

4. Well DUH

You can not show rethugs parting and having a great time while people are running for their lives

Well you can but not if you want to win the next election

6. Doesn't sound right to me.

They have to pay for that venue no matter what and would be almost impossible to reschedule on such short notice IMO. It would be chaos. I think this is for media consumption only, but we shall see.

7. Gotta love this quote from McGrammps.....

“It wouldn’t be appropriate to have a festive occasion while a near tragedy or a terrible challenge is presented in the form of a natural disaster.”

Too bad he didn't give a tinkers damn about appropriateness 3 years ago when he and *asshole* celebrated his birthday while people drowned.
