Best idea I've heard about what to with "the ballroom" when we have a Dem president [View all]

Turn it into a museum. The person that brought it up said it should be a museum so we never forget how we lost our way. I like that idea.
Turn it into a Civil Rights/Civics museum. Just like you have school buses taking kids to various museums, 50 years from now, school kids should be going to this museum to see what happened in this era. Appropriately, call it The trump museum.
