[I am planning on renting a facility near the convention center where I will be selling tar, feathers, and pitchforks.]

lol

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I remember water cannons.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I’ve invested in guillotines — I feel like I’m getting in at the groundfloor, but I expect them to be going up real soon.

Just don't lose your head over this opportunity.

[americas.best.days...]

Is that true?? Wow.

If any nice freeper would like to rent my 1 BR lake cottage
about 45 minutes south of the convention, freep mail me.

Consider your tagline *stolen* as of this moment.

Duh, Gee, T'anks A Millions, and All That!

[DIRTYSECRET]

They should have had the convention on Catalina Island. The Casino building. Dock a few cruise ships for accommodations and offer no money for security in L.A. Rent out ALL helicopters. Let them riot on the mainland.

[Right-wing Librarian]

Have the protesters put in their purchase orders for anti-anti-riot gear yet?

[If it goes to a second ballot Trump will not be the nominee.]

If CRUZ wins on a second ballot, he wins. That’s politics.

I’m more worried about a third ballot, where Romney may end up the candidate.

where Romney may end up the candidate.

I truly believe that leads to decades of Democrat control of WH, Congress, and SCOTUS. We can forget about politics here and convert FR to a survivalist forum.

If Romney steals the nomination, I hope TRUMP & CRUZ will run on a 3rd ticket.

[nascarnation]

Sore loser law hurts them a lot.

I think neither can run in Texas, for example, so no chance to win the electoral contest.

Better to not spend the money and just let Romney flop on his own.

[ez]

I’m hearing that the Trump team is starting to claim he should be the nominee even if he wins a plurality of delegates. I also hear that the RNC can change the rules right up until the convention is called to order. This should be interesting.

[Celerity]

I thought the republicans were the violent, vitriolic, gun-toting madmen ?

Wouldn’t this suggest otherwise ? What’s going on in Philly for the DNC ?

(Sarcasm, of course)

[<1/1,000,000th%]

The Dems will be tearing up the town to disrupt the convention.

[Gator113]

I’ll just haul my backhoe to someplace near town. Mass graves, it’s the green thing to do.

“There’s something happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear ...”

[SaveFerris]

not bad at all

[windcliff]

Or on a cruise ship out in the ocean.

Democrats had their 1968. The GOP gets its turn in 2016.
