Sorry Cleveland, but you're winning ways might be short-lived ...

[Auggie]

city should never agreed to host the Republican Convention. The potential for negatives coming from this are huge.

[Backwoodsrider]

1. Negatives? I dont understand

The economy of Cleveland is going to be infused with a lot of money and TV time.

[Auggie]

2. There's the potential for fights and/or riots ...

not to mention the odious thought of hosting a bitter convention that probably elects Trump.

[Scurrilous]

4. TV time featuring the scum of the earth spouting hate and vitriol to a cheering assemblage of dolts.

Quick..when I say Nuremberg what do you think of?

[WDIM]

9. And tax revenues drained for the police state. nt

14. Each party gives their convention city $50,000,000 to deal with security.

8. Sorry to be the Debby Downer ...

celebrate your victory, Person 2713.



I'm from Cleveland, by the way. I remember Mayors Perk and Kucinich, Euclid Beach Park and Ghoulardi. Very happy for the BB championship. Just wish the RNC was in Pittsburgh or Detroit.

11. Yep. So did "The Thriller" ...

and "Laff-In-The-Dark." Thanks for the link.

5. Why should the city of Cleveland bear any blame

for Donald Trump ... or the Republicans, for that matter. Cleveland can use the revenues that will come from hotels and restaurants and taxi services, etc. generated by a large influx of visitors. They do not endorse the Republican Party by allowing it to hold its convention there, just as any city that hosts a convention does not.

I was kind of rooting for Golden State ... until the end, of course. I'm ecstatic for Cleveland!

[Wounded Bear]

6. I'm pretty sure the city arranged for the convention...

far before Trump was the nominee, probably before he was a declared candidate. These things are scheduled far in advance.

Meanwhile, I keep reading stories of major advertisers backing out. The Repub party might lose some money on this, not to say that as a bad thing.

[Backwoodsrider]

7. Yes the people of Cleveland are going pretty good this year, congrats folks

Also admired James since he by-passed college into the NBA and has behaved as the ultimate adult since

[nolabels]

15. It takes more than just some college to become a full fledged fool

I am so happy King James won the tittle for Cleveland. Now sports talk radio will have to talk about sports instead of some superstitious curse or something

[nolabels]

12. What potential? Nobody in their right mind or even with half a brain will show up

Yoy, total overestimation the corporate toadies and their squads of tag-a-longs

13. There are always extremists
