It will be interesting to see what the ultimate impact is. I would assume that most cities volunteer to host these things because of the economic boost they get from what is essentially a mass tourist event. If the city has to shut down, close up businesses for a week, and possibly deal with riot clean up, it might be hard to find a host for the GOP convention if 4 years…

So the key is to wait for the first 200 people to be arrested and then all hell can break loose because they won’t have enough beds to hold any more. They might as well get a big neon “No Vacancy” sign and mount it outside the jail.
that was a pipedream. At the first sign of Columbus even considering that, that building’s owner would have sent a protest letter to Kasich and likely in comic sans.

Even if Quicken wasn’t a gun free zone, Dan Gilbert (the building’s owner) wasn’t likely to allow that…

That’s misguided, Republicans keep telling us that guns makes places safer. Well, I tell them “let’s try it! Guns for everybody! But lets try it in your convention, not in my daughters school”

With any luck (and a WHOLE LOTTA VOTIN’ - Dems) it may be hard to find a GOP to have a convention. I can dream, can’t I?
Anarchists respond: “Up yours!” 
How many of the 200 beds are reserved for Trumpenstein and His Band of Scoundrels?
Tailgating skinheads as far as the eye can see. I bet the tooth to tattoo ratio is going to be extremely high.
Ok corrrction
Adam silver wasn’t. Allowing. It
200? That’s it? Pfffffffff…we can do better than that…easy…
In Illinois a county leasing jail space has to pay $76 per person per night. I assume it is similar in Ohio. So there are all sorts of extra costs for Cleveland associated with holding the convention that taxpayers will have to pay.
Nah, Trump is going to force Mexico to cover the expenses.
Well… he is forcing Cleveland to pay for it so maybe he has a point about that wall.
They could always go the Leith, ND. I hear it’s very white up there thanks to Craig Cobb.
200 beds? How many drawers at the morgue?
LOL. And here I thought we were going to get a video of a naked man running down the street (with a cock sock on … which wouldn’t really make him ‘naked,’ I guess, eh?). (My apologies to dude in the accident. Hope you were okay.)
The thought of a guy preparing to have escape nekkid down a freeway and carrying his cock sock just in case is hysterical.
