August in Charlotte. Phew, that's going to be hot and sweaty. Looks like a nice city for a convention though.

Bad news for the DEMs. They'd better have a backup plan.

From the OPs link:







Of course this vote for trump to be in Charlotte, could have also happened prior to the young lady getting run over and killed.....
Are you referring to Charlotte NC or Charlottesville VA?

It's not fake news at all. But if telling yourself that helps you sleep better at night . . . Did you even read the article?

No surprise being it is a DEM controlled city!


9 of the 11 council members including the mayor are DEMS!


MOST non-southern dems on here think ALL of the south is run by repubs.

Because it would give you some first-hand exposure to the make-up, both racial and political, of the city?

So they are saying that given dems/libs are so violent, they may not be able to protect the attendees?


Libs, of course, are violent fascists. When was the last time republicans harassed and threatened violence against a democrat political gathering?


You are on the wrong side of history. Violence and intimidation is never used by people who value liberty.
