WASHINGTON – Several top Republican lawmakers said they would skip the Republican National Convention as coronavirus cases climb in Florida, where President Donald Trump is set to accept the party's nomination in August before a large crowd.

The RNC backed out of Charlotte, North Carolina, last month and picked Jacksonville as the main site for the convention after North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper and Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles wouldn't commit to allowing a full convention because of health concerns amid the coronavirus pandemic.

On a Monday conference call with local reporters, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, at age 86 the oldest Republican senator, said he would avoid the convention "because of the virus situation." Grassley said he has attended every RNC since he was elected to the Senate in 1980.

Since the convention was moved, Jacksonville has begun requiring that face masks be worn in public and indoor locations as a health precaution.

[QED]

1. Four so far

Grassley, Alexander, Murkowski, and a very concerned Susan Collins.

3. Her concern will be assuaged and she'll attend

But only after telling us what an agonizing decision it was

5. A soothing unguent. Perhaps some $$$$s will make the concerned twit feel better.

Given her pucker-face, some hemorrhoidal lotion could be applied fore and aft.

2. Please go Chuck. Please. You, after all, have collaborated with Trump all along.

I'm sure senile old racist bastards are completely safe, since your policies assumed as much.

4. Nobody likes Trump

Everybody hates Trump

He's going out back to eat......well you know the rest.

6. Is that to the ditty: greasy grimy gopher guts?

Or "the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out"?

He and his morbid family are so ripe for derision.

7. No

That last line is "he'll go eat worms".
