The California delegation is being holed up in of all places Sandusky, Ohio,
which is about 60 miles away from Cleveland. It is a commute but then again if one wants to avoid Trump Cedar Point would make an excellent escape from the debacle that will be taking place in downtown Cleveland.

Well us common folks, we're just supposed to shut up and pick one whether we like them or not..... we're not supposed to actually participate. Only the elite can participate.

Nothing like shutting out 99% of the population...... but that's what the two party system is all about.

So, ordinary folks can't go and hold their own counterconvention on the cheap?

No and that's not why I posted it.

Sorry you can't figure out the message here. I'm not going to bother explaining since you tend to make up your mind before you know the facts.

But, initially you only pointed the finger at one party.
Anything to demonstrate your dislike of Hilary even when it reveals your own hypocrisy.
