“I hope you are right, but Charlotte’s city leadership is hardcore radical leftist”.
Why in hell would the RNC choose such a place? That’s asking for trouble.
Maybe the RNC in Charlotte IS looking for trouble; riots & chaos due to a stood down police force could scare a lot of citizens into voting Republican especially if PDJT pushes a law & order alternative.
True, the 1968 riots surrounded the Democrat convention, but the TV images IMO put Nixon over the top.
Yes, why Charlotte? In 2008, I asked why Saint Paul?
I saw the crap in Saint Paul. Upon entering the convention area, I asked one of the Secret Service people “Well, are the children behaving?” I got a disgusted “No”. Smashed windows, even a remote incendiary device meant to kill or maim law enforcement. The punks were viewed as heroes by people in Minnecraponus.
The GOP isn’t known as the “Stupid Party” for nothing.
