it isn't safe and people would undoubtedly want to see him, gather, and potentially spread this deadly virus. Good call VP Biden!!

6. Thanks, Wisconsin Republican legislators

Here's what I'm writing them:
We notice you doing nothing about Covid19.
Kindly stay out of the way of those who are helping.

Our governor Tony Evers and health secretary are doing their very best, and we are grateful to them!

9. In 1900's tradition was a telegram was sent to the nominee's home followed by a delegation

that arrived from the convention to inform the candidate he was nominated. The candidate often then made a speech from his own front porch.
