As a North Texan, I was happy Cleveland was picked. Less traffic and commotion here, less of a target for the bad guys.
Why preach to the choir in Dallas. I think it’s better to go where few know you and explain why your party’s principles are more beneficial for the individual.
Cleveland must have agreed to provide the teleprompters that have the results in ‘em before the votes are even taken.
What’s next? A Southern Baptist Convention in Mecca?
Good, glad Dallas didn’t get it. Don’t need a bunch of RINOs in my town.
The only way this could be good news is if LeBron James, wearing a Cavalier uniform after winning a championship for Cleveland, is a keynote speaker for the GOP.
I drove through Cleveland once. Quickly.
Holding the convention in Cleveland is very considerate for those Michigan Auto Union worker protesters and their shills. Keeps their travel reasonable.
I hope Portman is not allowed to talk about faggotry.
Obviously winning Ohio in a priority, I don’t know if having the convo in the state you want to win makes a difference, I wouldn’t think so, Romney (Tampa) “lost” FL and Obama (Charlotte) lost NC in 2012.
Cleveland last held the GOP convo in 1936, our worst election. It was also there in 1924, a victory. It’s never held a rat convo, not even for Grover Cleveland, but they are 1 of 7 finalists for the 2016 rat convo year. The last time both convos were held in the same city, 1972, Miami Beach. Highly unlikely to happen this time.
The other rat finalists are Birmingham, Columbus, NYC, Philly, and Phoenix.
Cleveland is one of the worse crime-cities in the country.
It may help win some votes in Ohio.
Nice of them to hold convention at beginning of summer —
this way after the establishment steals it for Jeb or Mitt there will be plenty time to get a third party up and running
Why not Baghdad...or Riyadh...or Pristina ...that’s where their friends slink...
