Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti acknowledged Saturday that the results of November’s U.S. presidential election could weigh heavily on his city’s chances of hosting the 2024 Olympics, saying that a victory by Donald Trump could turn off IOC voters.
In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, Garcetti also said Los Angeles could offer “the last, best hope” for the United States to host the Summer Olympics again before the American people begin “tuning out” from the games.
Garcetti, a 45-year-old Democrat and supporter of Hillary Clinton, is in Brazil to observe the Rio de Janeiro Games and pitch his city’s bid to members of the International Olympic Committee. One of the main topics of conversation with IOC delegates has been the U.S. election — and the prospects of a Trump presidency. …

Great! The USA is already in terrible financial shape, so we certainly don’t need the additional burden that hosting an Olympics would impose!
We need funds to rebuild our military, bridges and crumbling Interstate Hwys. We can’t afford to spend billions on an event that is a sure monetary loss.

A new U.S. president will be in office when the IOC selects the 2024 host city in September 2017. Los Angeles, which hosted the Olympics in 1932 and 1984, is competing with Paris, Rome and Budapest, Hungary. Sounds like a great opportunity for the City of Angels to make Rio look good!
I'm glad we in Boston managed to avoid that opportunity, much to the distress of the grifters who inhabit the Halitosis Halls hereabouts.

Imagine the boon to the Illinois State Budget if Zero had succeeded (hint: check out Rio for how that budget thing works — Illinois is in great shape, right? Just like Brazil ...).

Chester Allen Arthur thing going on. (Was it him?) No, Grover Cleveland. He also married Frances Folsom in the White House. Pretty lady.

Considering that, overall, hosting the Olympics seems to be a financial disaster for the hosting city, this is a good thing.

Eat your peas or the bogeyman will get you.
This is all the left have (well) left. Vote for us or bad things will happen.
Guess what, people have been voting for the left for awhile now and bad things have been happening.
As an aside, Los Angles taxpayers would be better off not getting the Olympics.

A Clinton win keeps the bribes going.
A Trump win will mean no bribes.
Corruption is what it’s all about. Time to end the gravy train.
