Detroit, Youngstown, Pittsburgh, Toledo all blue...all union...all the time.
#2 Dude, I live here. I have ranted for the last 4 Presidential election cycles that Cuyahoga County has been the testing grounds for how to steal an election.
#3 Take a look at an Ohio map from the last Presidential election, if Cleveland wasn’t so heavily blue...Romney would have taken Ohio’s electoral votes. The rest of the State is Red.
#4 No way, no way Cleveland Police Department is going to be able to handle the chaos that is going to go down in the streets. And that my FRiend is what the media will focus on...Republican message...guarantee it will be lost on the ears that need to hear it most. Especially if Kasich is the nominee...
Come into the my Parlor said the Spider(Democrat Stronghold) to the fly (RNC).
That’s why I’m so despondent on the 2016 POTUS election.
The R candidate has to win Ohio and Florida, and both locations (despite having R gov & R SoS) have shown lots of vote fraud.
#1 So? What is the point. Cleveland is a union dominated area. ALL convention centers have union labor and require union workers. EVEN Dallas. You certainly must be FROM Cleveland as you have a defeatist attitude.
#2 DUDE, I actually LIVE in the city. Do you? I doubt you even live in an inner ring suburb. Yes, there is certainly corruption in the Cuyahoga elections. Regardless, you should keep your friends close and your enemies closer. The Republicans didn’t carry Dallas County either. They lost Dallas County 57% to 41%.
#3 Also So what? So the county votes Democrat. Perhaps some of the nitwit out of work, working class, unionist whites might actually pull the lever for the Republicans because they may take an interest in learning something. It is also great opportunity for outreach to the Black community. That is an actual reason to hold the convention there.
Take a look at the County Election Map of Texas. That dark blue spot in the North of the State is Dallas County. Regardless, they took Texas by 10 points. They lost Ohio by .9 points. Once again, What is you point.
#4 I am more than certain that the police department will be able to handle the situation surrounding any type of protests or crowd control that comes with a major convention. They handle this type of thing on a regular basis. They handle crowds of hundreds of thousands several times a year.
They just had 25th The Star Spangled Spectacular on Public Square with The Cleveland Orchestra and hosted close to 100,000 people. Pull the police blotter and see how many incidents there where. VERY FEW. tens of thousands of workers left the city while tens of thousands of people entered to go to the free concert with no major incidents of any kind.
You have little knowledge about what you speak.
The Police and the other Safety Forces will love the chance to have the overtime pay. The labor unions will love the chance to build out the venues and programs. The local entertainment venues and restaurants will love to have the millions of dollars in business. And everyone will be treated with as much respect in Cleveland as they would in any other city. Better than most.
