How will the leftist storm-troopers react when Bernie is denied the nomination? Or killed to prevent him from getting nominated? She would do that.

This only helps the Republican nominee.

It would be a real shame if the protesters would happen to spill out into the rural areas.

Why did the stupid GOP pick Cleveland? Why not a solid conservative state?

I’m hearing a sort of concession from the left on a Trump nomination. More and more articles about what’s coming.

They might have figured out that Cruz ain’t their man.

The GOPe thought Cleveland was exemplary of it’s ideals.

I think it was right.

Sounds like the Bikers for Trump need to be in Cleveland in July.

I live in a suburb. Already planning to erect barricades between us and downtown. If they make it past that, I get to taze some hippie ass...

It won’t be just the Left Wing but the Trump Wing isn’t going to go quietly into the night.

They gave some explanation on TV news last week. Guns won't be allowed inside the Q, it's an issue the Secret Service controls. The person being interviewed said that OH gun laws will be followed and those outside can have guns according to existing laws. I wonder how the thought process will evolve on that.

They also said that there will be no police department vacation time that week and the neighborhoods of Cleveland will be well policed (that'll be new). They seem confident that they can handle a large convention.

FWIW, the Q (convention site) and the Cleveland Indians station are separated by only a walking concourse paved area. There are no home games for the Indians during convention week or the week before. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that Indians stadium wouldn't be available if the convention situation gets problematic and some folks need a time out.

My sense is that even if they have "downtown" secured, it could get weird at hotel and restaurant environments. The 4AM last call for booze might incite some passions among participants.

All that being said, I'm planning on going "downtown" by bus....but choosing my itinerary carefully.

Could be because the GOP-e thought Kasich was the “man of the hour”

Because conservative red states already go red. They always pick purple states. That’s why democrats picked pennsyvania.

Trump has enough money to hire whomever he wants for security.

Security assets who won't give a fat rat's bladder about the well being of any aggressive snowflakes that get out of line.

I hope he goes that route and makes the Cleveland PD look pathetic.
