Going to be a hot summer in Cleveland
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Two groups opposed to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump were among the first to receive permits to gather at next month's Republican National Convention in Cleveland, city records show.
Others include the League of Women Voters; a group that aids immigrants; and Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church, which is known for picketing at funerals using anti-gay chants and signs because it believes God is punishing the U.S. and its soldiers for defending a nation that tolerates homosexuality. Peace and anti-racism groups also got permits.
Various groups are seeking permits to demonstrate, march or hold events at nearby parks.
On Friday, a federal judge said he would hold a June 23 hearing on a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union seeking to clarify the permitting process for the GOP convention that begins July 18.

RNC Chairman statement.
"Personally, I think it delusional to believe delegates bound to Trump would so easily slough off their loyalty and vote for someone else. If anyone but Trump emerges as the nominee from that convention, the Republican party will be destroyed."

We'll see what happens but we still have 20 more weeks to go. Things may just get worst or maybe the Repubs can unite behind Trump. But if you want my opinion I think we could see an open revolt at the RNC Convention to dump Trump but not sure how successful that will be??

About as successful as the Bernie supporters will be at the DNC Convention. Noisy, but of little consequence. Prebious runs the show and he says it will not happen.

My wife as me the other day how many people live in the US, I told her 300 million or a shade over. She says "These are the best candidates we can come up with?"

"Groups that received permits this week: an organization fighting black-on-black violence; "Code Pink Women For Peace"; a group organizing a "Stand Together Against Trump" march; a man organizing a "Stop Trump" event; the Greater Cleveland Immigration Network; the Northeast Ohio American Friends Service Committee; and Revolution Books bookstore."

I have had a run in with Code Pink in San Francisco when they protested outside the Marines Memorial Club on Sutter St as we were leaving from the Marine Corps Birthday Ball. And they tossed insults and one threw a beer can at my Corvette when we were driving from the garage there.
