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!
