[Lnc-business] A few words about the Convention

Tue Jun 30 23:57:32 EDT 2020

Okay.  I have gotten more messages about being the chair cat's paw.

I am not stupid.  I know what he said in his video and what multiple people
took from what he said in his video.

This is NOT really about the delegates.  Up until this happened our chair
was constantly undermining an in-person convention.  This is an about face
without saying he changed his mind.

He openly said why he is making this move.  He has his heart set on
carrying out threats to denounce his political enemies from the floor.
 That is why he is refusing to chair. I trust our delegates to see that for
the petty move it would be just as they saw through the tantrum at the end
of the online convention.  This is just more of the culture of threats that
people have spoken out about.

So yes I understand I am enabling his plans.  I don't care.  I know what my
motives are.  And I trust the delegates.  Going negative at convention
backfires.  You know who taught me that originally?  Our chair ironically
enough in relating to me a past race that was for all intents and purposes
won until the presumptive winner went negative and turned off the delegates.

I see our conventions as a way to come together, and I hope the chair
better nature prevails and he not use it to divie.
