Please use this space to detail all the crime that was inflicted on RNC members upon entering a liberal hellhole such as Milwaukee.
Personally I have been sending Thoughts AND Prayers that nothing happens but I doubt that happens bc most of Milwaukee is filled with woke libs who don't believe in (Christian) God.
The only crimes were on the debate stage.
As an act of solidarlity I sponsored a Coach USA bus to the Bluemound Road Chilis so all of the attendees could dine safely.
I chose Coach USA over GoRiteway bc it has USA in its name and GoRiteway's logo is green and that might offend

They did note for national television consumption that 30 people had been shot in the City of Milwaukee from Friday night to Monday morning ( something I already knew from paying attention to such things in the local news).
Don't know why they insist on reporting such facts. Dirty bastard right wingers just trying to stir things up and embarass us--------yet again. Trivial stuff.

I'm sure the candidates offered many great proposals to curb America's gun violence problem.

They also noted that the Fiserv was home to the Bucks + Marquette
Will this help or hurt recruiting?
Not a crime, but Brit Hume gave us a mention in the beginning, talking about Fiserv and that the Milwaukee Bucks and Marquette Golden Eagles play there, so we've got that doing for us...which is nice.
I see Lens beat me to it.....

The Third Ward does have a high number of college graduates so this tracks.

Odd that everyone chooses to be a comedian rather that talking about 30 people shot in the City over a roughly 72 hour period.
Should tell anyone interested all they need to know.

Dick, what ideas were suggested last night that would help curb that violence?
I heard a lot about securing our borders, fentynal, Ukraine, the weaponization of the DOJ and school choice. I don't think I heard anything about inner city crime. You can make the agrument that school choice would help, and I would agree to some extent but we will always need a public school system so choice is not the only answer.
I'm curious as to what you heard that would help?

Rather than using the 30 people shot as an "own the libs" punchline, I'd love to hear yours - or the GOP field's - serious proposals for addressing the crisis. And by serious, I don't mean talking points.
Also, what about Chicago?

Well I guess Chicago and Milwaukee have nothing to worry about then, do they? All these shootings are just an illusion concocted by the vast right wing conspiracy folks.
The 30 people who got winged in Milwaukee by flying lead last weekend will be gratified to learn that their liberal friends think that they're statistical outliers.

The answer is a simple one: enforce the laws and incarcerate the violent lawbreakers. Also begin a campaign to reverse the society wrecking epidemic of fatherless households. Many studies point to the positive effect of having a male in a child's life.

We do enforce the laws and incarcerate the violent lawbreakers. No Western democracy incarcerates its citizens more - or longer - than we do. And yet our gun violence problems - and crime problems overall - far exceed theirs. It's clearly a failed strategy.
As for dads, I' don't doubt that would help some. But other countries have high rates of single-parent homes and not nearly the corresponding rates of violent crime.
And would you not agree that one major reason there are so many children without a father in their lives is because we lock up their fathers at extraordinary rates? You're advocating for contradictory positions here.

Maybe we should make it easier for there to be a parental presence in households and not make it so single parents must work multiple jobs to make ends meet. Or is your solution to possible abusive and violent situations "stay together for the kids". Reversing "fatherless households" sounds so easy the way you put it but the way of addressing their causes I assume are not what you want to hear.

I watched the debate from The Trade Hotel. It was quite the scene down there. A bunch of billboard trucks flying around with candidates left and right. Felt like a watching a big game with cheers in the bar from boths sides...actually three sides bc Asa Hutchison is his own brand. Then you get the costume crowd. I really enjoyed grown men dressed in 1776 garb, tricorn hats and all, railing on about the trans community.

I read it - and it pretty much meandered all over the place without ever really coming up with any answers.
Look, one of your crew claimed there are no gun laws to enforce. That's total, unadulterated BS. There are thousands. Quibble over whether there are 20 thousand if that makes you feel better. There may be less, there may be more. But there's a sh!tload more than zero.
