I’m all for getting rid of the “Pep Rallies” that are the conventions. They’re a big rah rah party full of bloviating and self-aggrandizement. Plus a big waste of money, though I’m sure the local municipalities enjoy the income. Then again you also get the down side of conventions the lovely protesters that the wonderful Zombie has to slum through. :\
All in all I don’t see a problem with passing up the convention for a while. What I DO find annoying is ANY politician going to “help” in an emergency. I’m sorry but unless he’s current with his emergency training he’s just going to get in the way down there. Emergencies don’t need politicians and speeches, they need first responders, the national guard, and other aid workers who are trained for this job.
