With the Republican Convention set for next week 7-18-16 - 7-21-16 will the biggest fracas be inside or outside the arena?

It will have a very high viewer turnout.

You got the war between Trump and his mail order bride against the main Republican party. And then outside you know the protestors are going to show up and somebody is going to get arrested.

The media will be going nuts trying to figure out where the money shot will be.

I'm thinking it's gonna' be tougher outside.

It looks like Paul Manafort has calmed Trump down a bit, and the GOP have reacted slightly positively while mainly resigning themselves to their fate.

Trump's newfound (relative) calmness, along with despite Trump's terrible earlier weeks he's within still striking distance of HRC, leads me to believe the GOP establishment are begrudgingly accepting him.

There's really nothing else they can do.

The GOP convention is going to be a magnet for every left-wing nutjob in the country. When they finish there, they'll go back to their day jobs in Congress. :mrgreen:

hopefully, every minority person who owns a long arm will show up bearing such weapons in public places as a show of support for the second amendment

armed minorities outnumbering the white bigots filling the convention center; what could possibly happen

If the protestors do show up and they will it is going to hurt the prostitutes and escort services who usually have a robust business with these conventions.
