WASHINGTON — A presidential address in front of the Gettysburg battlefield, or at the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. A speech from the first lady, Melania Trump, at Seneca Falls, New York, the cradle of the national movement for women’s rights. Perhaps a stage for the warm-up acts built at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.
Trump has said he plans to travel to Charlotte to thank delegates who are still planning to gather there for meetings and the official roll call, despite the state’s social distancing requirements. But Trump’s advisers are still pushing for some version of the show to go on, and searching for historical locations that they want to reinforce the messages of the various convention speakers.
One such venue that drew Trump’s attention was Gettysburg, a wide-open national park with a built-in theme about a country divided against itself. The aides thought the setting would flatter Trump by allowing him to draw a comparison he loves: one between himself and Abraham Lincoln. Trump delivered a speech at Gettysburg during his campaign four years ago, calling it an “amazing place” and suggesting that the country was as divided as it had been during the Civil War.
“Conventions have gone the way of the dinosaur,” said Brian Ballard, the top Republican lobbyist in Florida and a major party donor, who was one of the key fundraisers for the convention when it was set for Jacksonville. “But the acceptance speech matters more than anything else. I hope they find an iconic location. It will be unique, and make history.”
As long as he doesn’t do it at a civil rights icon’s funeral. 🙄

Here are the facts. Analysis: CNN is not journalism. They are an advocacy group for the DNC. Just a goof briefing again TDS continues to overwhelm CNN!
