And it will have the yooogest, most classiest, secret prize inside. (Maybe those retro Ammo Necklaces like Trump-spox Katrina Pierson wears!)
“Gestapo-like” is a Trump meme. He seems to be actively supporting it as a way of framing ‘establishment’ GOP attempts to prevent his nomination. So it’s becoming a byword, like “libtard” and “politically correct.”
As for the location of the meeting, the chairman defended it. While strutting around with a gun in his belt, Canegata told the paper that he only held the meeting at the gun range because he works there and he has access to gathering space.
Another reason for allowing guns at the Cleveland Convention. If everybody’s packing then everybody will be polite and the convention will run smoothly.
At least that’s the theory the NRA has been pushing for a while. I’d say there would be any better place to test it than the GOP Convention? After all, the participants are big subscribers of the theory.
Actually, St Croix is known as the “working mans island” and MOST of the people living there are either poor or middle class. The “1%” population is small at best. I lived there and ran a fairly large business there, I made about $100k and was considered ‘fabulously wealthy’ by most there…
That being said, the Republican Party there IS mostly white, mostly rich and pretty damn small.
There is going to have to be new acronym for the Cleveland convention: TINTO (This Is Not The Onion). As Davey Barry says, “You just cannot make this stuff up.”
If I were Speaker Ryan, I would have serious reservations about agreeing to chair the convention. If he thinks he’s riding herd on a fractious caucus in the House, he ain’t seen nothing yet!
I can easily imagine him quickly losing control of the proceedings (in spite of all attempts to restore order, including repeated failed attempts to get the delegates to honor the national anthem), a lot of waving of pocket editions of the Constitution, verbal jousting, and pushing and shoving, culminating in a general melee where even the police are reluctant to intervene until tear gas finally clears the room over the stampeded recumbent figures of a number of delegates who simply aren’t nimble enough to handle a rugby style scrum on steroids.
If Speaker Ryan thinks he’s going to come out of this with even any self-respect, let alone the kind of credentials which will serve him well in a future run for the presidency, I suspect he’s in for a rude surprise.
TV commercials should be selling like hotcakes already, however I wonder how the network will fit them into the riveting reality tv spectacle that will be unraveling in front of them.
