Check out the JAZZY stage for the GOP convention!!!

They've been working on this thing for eighteen months (bet they had JEB! in mind when they started this imagineering...!):

“It’s not putting up a small stage for a Madonna concert or something,” Larson said. “There’s a lot that goes into this and the planning and everything else that we’ve had to do over the last 18 months to get ready for a week ago last Friday as we moved in and all those working pieces. We’ve never done this in less than five weeks, and we’re doing this just over, just at four weeks.”

And it's likely I never will, but I bet her stage is at least as elaborate as that one, maybe even more so. I know the artists at the Super Bowl halftime shows have a bigger and better stage than this one.

“This is a whole different animal from other political conventions,” he said, noting that typically, most RNC protesters come from the left. “The serious problems that you had in terms of any kind of disruption by and large came from the anarchists. Here you’ve got a big number that are coming from the right this time … it presents a different dynamic.”
Bresler noted that firearms will be allowed in the “event zone” because of Ohio’s status as an open carry state, even though other more mundane items will be banned — from water guns to tape to sleeping bags.
Ralph King, one of the organizers of the pro-Trump demonstration, also said he thought any unrest would be caused by outside agitators. He said conventiongoers should have confidence in police, who just oversaw the Cavaliers’ parade without incident.
