Biden’s top advisers are all too aware the ghosts of 1968 may haunt their convention here, but they’re grappling with a pair of more urgent and thoroughly modern-day challenges as summer nears: How far can they go in reprising their virtual 2020 convention to mitigate the threat of disruption inside the arena, and how will they navigate a rookie mayor who unabashedly sympathizes with protesters?

“That being said there is no place for ours as all cities are blue. So what’s left?”

You missed the point. We don’t WANT our convention in a red city, or a red state.

When the RNC has a convention, thousands of volunteers are mobilized there. They don’t just work on the convention itself. They work on establishing offices and events and voter registration drives throughout the state and region, and not just during convention week, but through the entire election process.

Where are 2024’s Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin?

Or instead, will the 2024 Dim Convention turn into a pro-”Palestinian”-demonstration fiasco?

Wonder how many pallets of bricks are going to left at certain intersections and parks, that no one will see who dropped them off of course, even though there are CCTs everywhere.
Hope the place burns to the ground.

You are right. I had to call the RNC to inquire about attending the one in San Diego-1996. Nothing on the web now about encouraging contributors to attend unless something has come up recently. Still Milwaukee is a $hithole and there’s no reason to visit. Presidents Club went for $1k and Eagle went for $5k. They’re not marketing very well.

Why would the Hamas protesters protest the Biden/Hamas 2024 ticket in Chicago?

The gist of the article is (1) the city's Mayor sides with the protestors (no matter what they're protesting) unlike Daley; and (2) they're hoping that the media run interference for them while at the same time are shamelessly limiting media exposure. Altogether, these do not compose a winning formula.

It really comes down not to what the Democrat party wants but what the heavy donors with extensive connections to the professional rioters want. These can't be bought off with money; it takes political concessions to do that. What might be enough is a little scary to contemplate.
