Don't be surprised if it does. The DNC Is Preparing for the Worst in Chicago — Without the Help of the City’s Mayor
1968 was the year the Democratic National Convention was met with riots outside, and Walter Cronkite calling the floor managers for the DNC a "bunch of thugs" for removing Dan Rather from the floor.
There’s already a joke going around Democratic strategist circles that the main difference between 2024 and 1968 is that the Chicago mayor this year will be on the side of the protesters, not the cops.
I would say that the main difference is that in 1968 cops in Chicago were probably more interested in enforcing law and order, and less interested in being charged and/or losing their pensions over what the do in 2024. I could be mistaken.
Hat tip to Second City Cop: Even the Left is Worried.
When you've lost Politico, you've lost a big part of the left wingnuts.
There is a non zero chance that they will just cancel the DNC and announce that Newsome is the nominee. The illusion of "democracy" is fading fast with the "Democrats".
