But if it had been the Dhimicrat Convention, now THAT would have been something to get excited about.
Cleveland is not on my bucket list of places to go.
This is satire right.
Cuyahoga County Ohio is a Liberal county... but I am sure they won’t have any compunction about cashing RNC checks.
and the article doesn’t even mention the anarchists and attendant costs of that gaggle.
Not new. The GOP nominated Coolidge and Landon in 1924 and 1936, respectively, in Cleveland. So in 2016, it will have been 80 years since the convention was held in Cleveland.
With the frenzy of LeBron (promote ACA at Obama’s request) going back to Cleveland this ought to be interesting.
Perhaps blubbering Boehner can kiss both rings.
Why do republicans insist on spending their money in democrat strongholds?
The optimist in me tells me that since Ohio is perhaps THE most intense Battleground state, and Cuyahoga County is THE most fraud-ridden election site in Ohio, that having the place crawl with Republican operatives might mitigate that fraud.
Alas, with what is going on in Mississippi, I fear the Republican presence in Cleveland will only enhance the fraud.
I guess the GOP settled on Cleveland because they couldn’t find a landfill that would take them and went for the next best thing.
How could any city be proud that a bunch of corrupt politicians will be visiting for a week, throwing around their ill-gotten gains?
The author has a very solid point. All things considered, it’s possible hosting a convention has more minuses than pluses.
From Cleveland, it’s a short drive to Mentor to see the home of President Garfield, and to Fremont to see President Hayes’ home and library.
President Harding’s home in Marion, near Columbus, is especially impressive as his mausoleum, which is located nearby.
Big deal. Get LeBron to speak at their convention and endorse conservative Republican values...then, you’ll have something to swoon over.
I think the GOP’s convention-picking strategy has been to pick reddish-purple-ish states in hopes of attracting enough attention there to win the vote in that state. Needless to say, the GOP will absolutely need Ohio in 2016.
The convention will dump a bunch of money into a city that desperately needs money.
That's it.
