How about Ferguson MO... I hear there are plenty of buildings that could house the delegates and convention meetings and the like. They just have to supply glass, windows, doors, roofs, etc.

This may be the only time I will ever agree with a union on something. NYC can expect to see an enormous increase in the amount of terrorist attacks under an evil man such as de Blasio, and the dumbest possible move the city could make would be to invite thousands of terrorists to hold their convention there.

I hope the Dhims hold their convention in Chicago. Party like it’s 1968!

The Democratic National Convention — a Bronx cheer would be appropriate.

Or how about any inner city USA? Reward your most loyal voters, bring economic activity and the “diversity” you all claim to crave into the Hood.

Do it.

Sergeants are in a different union than officers of another rank?

I’m thinking more along the lines of Gitmo— home of the most pampered Democrat constituency under U.S. Administration. Detroit residents, the most liberal city in America, would be awed by what the Gitmo captives get. And they don’t even have to strip buildings of copper wire to get it all.

They should hold their convention in Mosul, where their ISIS buddies are in charge. If the Democrats are not killed by ISIS, this proves to the morons of the world that Democrats are terrorists; if the Democrats are killed by ISIS, this proves to the morons of the world that the liberal policies of multiculturalism and appeasement do not work, and America will no longer have to suffer Democrats.

They want racial diversity for us, but they certainly don't want to deal with status, class and racial diversity for themselves.
