Not only that, the Democrat carpetbaggers left town with millions in unpaid bills. So typical of Democrats....

Sadly, as far as I know, there isn’t a single major city in this country that isn’t Democrat stronghold. Maybe Salt Lake City or Phoenix would have been good choices.

It’s the city I was referring to. An irrational, Trump hating citadel of ignorance, led by the local newspaper and its liberal, arrogant editor and his 100% liberal staff.

So you figure that the Convention brings in $50 to 100 Million and that translates into a economic impact of between $500 and $1 Billion and this woman sticks her nose in the air and feels like it is tainted money. Well she doesn’t care about jobs or money does she. What a Maroon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As par for the course the democrat mayor failed or never took an economics course.

I don’t think Las Vegas would have been a good choice. The convention center is some distance from most of the hotels.

San Diego, site of the ‘96 convention, would have been an excellent choice for the gathering. The convention center is within walking distance from many hotels as well as the Gas Lamp shopping district and the light rail public transit system. With the harbor on one side and a railroad track on the other, the location is also excellent for security.

I used to live in New Orleans. If you compared sales tax revenues from 1987, 1988, and 1989, you would never guess that the Republican Convention was there.

Not a Trump Supporter, indeed. Here she is at the "Women's March".

She would be saying the same thing if it was Jeb. Playbook is simple. Hate “insert republican name here.”

the decision to host the convention was the hardest she has tackled — "not just as a mayor but as a mom and as a friend" to her community.

The owner of the Red Hen restaurant was "a friend to her community", but that community asked her to step down...

The left is total scum. If I remember correctly, the DNC never paid their bills and had grand theft. Why would the stupids of the GOP put a convention in a hostile city? F-these leftards. Why have them benefit as they bash us as they get economic rewards for the convention itself?

My Boss listens to the DNC Media. I do my best to get him vaccinated, but it is what it is.

He told me today that Biden will be Elected POTUS in 2020.

I just chuckled and told him if that happens I feel sorry for his Grandchildren.
