The Republican National Convention will be July 18-21 in the Quicken Loans Arena<\/a>, Ohio, a basketball Arena.<\/p>\n

The City of Cleveland is not exactly a hospitable location for Republicans. Voter registration is 43,988 Democrats and 7,074 Republican, with 197,000 not saying. <\/p>\n

The last Republican mayor left office in 1989. The current mayor is sort of black, so is the police chief. The City Council has 17 members – 16 Democrats and one Green Party member. Cuyahoga County voted 68% for Barack Obama. The city is majority black (53.3%).<\/p>\n

So what fool thought this would be the place to select the Republican who will replace Barack Obama?

I would like to point your attention to rule 37(e) and rule 47(d) of the 2016 Convention rules<\/a>
\nOr https:\/\/prod-static-ngop-pbl.s3.amazonaws.com\/media\/documents\/Call%20of%20the%202016%20Convention_1448920406.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

37(e)<\/p>\n

(e) If the Republican National Committee determines that the national convention cannot convene or is unable to conduct its business either within the convention site or within the convention city<\/strong>, then and only then, the roll call for nomination for President of the United States and Vice President of the United States shall be allowed to be conducted according to procedures authorized by the Republican National Committee.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

47(d)<\/p>\n

\n(d) When at the close of a roll call any candidate for nomination for President of the United States or Vice President of the United States has received a majority of the votes entitled to be cast in the convention, the chairman of the convention shall announce the votes for each candidate whose name was presented in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this rule. Before the convention adjourns sine die<\/strong>, the chairman of the convention shall declare the candidate nominated by the Republican Party for President of the United States and Vice President of the United States.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For those not versed in Latin, sine die means “without a date” – an adjournment without the RNC setting a date to continue the convention.<\/p>\n

“Mr Chairman!”<\/p>\n

“The chairman of the state of Florida is recognized. For what purpose does the chairman seek recognition?”<\/p>\n

“Mr Chairman – the delegation of the state of Florida makes a motion that the convention do adjourn sine die”<\/p>\n

“Is there a second?”<\/p>\n

“the state of Colorado seconds the motion”<\/p>\n

“the motion to adjourn sine die having been made and seconded, a voice vote on the motion is in order – all in favor vote aye”<\/p>\n

Aye<\/font><\/p>\n

“Those opposed, vote Nay”<\/p>\n

Nay<\/font><\/p>\n

“In the opinion of the chair, the Ayes have it. Convention is adjourned”<\/p>\n
