There's going to be a bloodbath in Cleveland

[malaise]

It will be the battle of ReTHUG nutters.
I'm stocking up on snacks

1. any type of violence won't be helpful to democrats at either convention

.....just saying. I saw the after effect of 1968 Chicago and that gave us nixon

[PJMcK]

2. It'll be a four day festival for Democrats

Since so many prominent Republicans are distancing themselves from Donald Trump, there will be difficulty finding speakers for the convention. We'll probably see a lot of right-wing crazies, celebrities and sports stars but few politicians. Mr. Trump is toxic and the "smart" Republicans know it.

If there is a serious attempt to deny Mr. Trump the nomination, his rabid supporters will probably go wild which will be a blast to watch, as long as no one gets hurt. Ah, screw that. Perhaps it'll be Darwin in action.

3. I sort of doubt it.

I think that ultimately they will all fold and proudly endorse their hedious candidate. They all seem to have no backbone to do anything but roll over and play nice. Spineless people just play the game.

[HughBeaumont]

4. They're already prepping us to work offsite.

We're likely not going to be around if any carnage happens. My instincts tell me the protestors cordoned off 1-2 miles from the Q aren't going to play nice . . . nor should they, since what's being done to them is unconstitutional.

9. I thought a judge nixed the protest zone in the hinterlands

Apparently there's one judge who still cares about the Constitution.

5. Have they plans for any wrestling matches yet? Trump should bring in some wrestling instead of

policy speeches at the con fest
Handle VP like a presidential apprentice contest prize He needs to rope in his base and build off what works for him

6. ...that's assuming anyone shows up.

It sounds like the passengers, crew, and rats have already taken to the lifeboats.

8. Imagine the Governor of Ohio will not be speaking

The ReTHUG rats sure are scattering

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. He could argue for a wall around Ohio...

...to keep the likes of Trump out.

7. The RNC is already reigning in Trump - he had to agree to it for fundraising.

Watch his messages evolve and his use of teleprompters. He knows that he will get clobbered other wise. I also don't buy into all of these so-called Republicans backing away from Trump. What they will say publicly to save their faces is the opposite they will do in the voting booth. Inside the hall in Cleveland, there will be some chaos, but not much. Outside there will be lots of protests against Trump, and maybe some violence. The RNC will use that violence in their ads for Trump.

10. Hopefully only metaphorical bloodbath

Or at least nothing worse than a drunken fist fight off site. Violence has a ripple effect and political violence must always be condemned.

11. The city will need an enema when they're gone...............

Poor Cleveland.

[Laxman]

13. I Would Think Exorcism....

might be more in order, or some ritual that involves the killing of a chicken. Anything that will chase away the evil spirits that are sure to be infesting the city-but an enema might do.

[JonathanRackham]

16. Cleveland residents are hoarding garlic and holy water.

The plague is coming, the plague is coming! Board your doors.

[joeybee12]

12. Here's hoping!

[jmowreader]

15. Can the states just send one delegate carrying pre-marked ballots?

[cbdo2007]

17. If by bloodbath you mean record ratings for the media....

oops, I hope that isn't implying Trump is just a puppet for the media (lol)
