Just Part of the DemocRAT Playbook
In Columbus, Buckeye Bureau Chief Gerry Manders reports Saturday at The Washington Examiner, Paul Bedard wrote about concerns growing in GOP circles that Cleveland is “too friendly to protest mobs” that will try to disrupt the Republican National Convention in July should Donald Trump be the nominee, calls are starting to be made to move the event to a safer city such as Salt Lake City, Utah, or Virginia Beach, Virginia. (Call: Move GOP convention to Salt Lake City, Virginia Beach, home of SEALs)
A prominent former Reagan advisor and businessman, for example, has sent a plea to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus warning that riots could spoil the confab and ruin the nominee’s election chances just like the 1968 riots by Vietnam War protesters at the DemocRAT National Convention helped to doom Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey.
“Riots in Chicago on Friday that shut down a Donald Trump rally confirm our worst fears. Cleveland will be the opportunity for community organizers to combine all their knowledge in an attack on the Republican Party’s national nominating convention,” said Richard J. Bishirjian in a letter to supporters.
“Reince Priebus and the GOP establishment chose Cleveland, Ohio in order to exert control over the convention in Ohio and assure that an establishment candidate is the GOP presidential nominee. Those of us old enough to remember the riots in Chicago in 1968 that destroyed the candidacy of Hubert Humphrey, believe that prudence requires that the Cleveland convention should be moved,” added the former Reagan advisor.
“How about Salt Lake City or Virginia Beach, cities where organized groups can be contained, but not Cleveland that is very well suited for organized riots,” added Bishirjian, currently the president of Colorado-based EDUCourses, which provides online courses.
From the Navy: “Virginia Beach, home to Naval Special Warfare Group 2 and its SEAL Teams 2, 4, 10 and 18. SEAL Team Eighteen, a Reserve unit, and Naval Special Warfare Group 4 are also located at Little Creek. Group 4 is responsible for all of NSW’s special boat teams.”
Trump’s rallies have been plagued with protests, some of which appear planned to disrupt the candidate and draw in TV cameras.
Cleveland faced its own riots last May after a police officer was acquitted of murder. Other cities have been with similar and related protests from groups like “Black Lives Matter.”
And Cincinnati doesn’t do such a great job “containing protests,” either.
So do you think Hamilton County RINO Party Boss Alex T., Mall Cop GOP is now sorry he did such a piss-poor job of selling Cincinnati for this summer’s RNC Convention? But DemocRAT Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Neil might be ready for such a challenge. After all, didn’t The Fishwrap publish Cindi Andrews’ photo of Neil schmoozing with Butler County Republican Super Sheriff Richard Jones front-and-center at Sunday’s Donald Trump Rally in West Chester? Hamilton County Demo-Labor Party Boss Tim Burka must’ve been overjoyed to see that.
