Will there be tit for tat during the Rep convention?
Will MSNBC show Democratic signs?
Will they interview Democrats?
Will they hint at any disunity among Reps?

And most of all:
Will the Rep party even allow a Democrat within 100 miles of their convention?

1. There may be the latter, but Janet Jackson put an end to the former.

3. lol!
Seriously though, I doubt it. Division? Republicans are too focused on the prize - power - to make the mistake of showing division before November.

2. No. Because the MSM only does established narratives.
The established narrative is that Democrats are always fractured. The GOP is always unified. What the actual facts are have very little to do with it.

6. I Don't Think the GOP Can Tat, As a Rule
even though tatting is terribly old-fashioned. They just aren't that kind of Conservative.

And as for the tit part, there doesn't seem to be much demand for that, either, among the wide-stanced.

8. The government has been trying to intimidate RNC protesters
In fact, at the 2004 RNC protest over 1800 people were "detained" (i.e. kidnapped by the government) for nearly two days without food or access to a private bathroom. Many of them were simply people walking on the street in NYC and not actually protesters.

Undoubtedly, the regime will have another crackdown on dissent like that again this year.

Here is an article with more info about the 2004 RNC: http://www.2600.com/rnc2004/

9. It'll be interesting to compare the conventions this year.
I don't know how much of the Rep convention I'll be able to stand watching but I may tune the first day just to see if any news organization will interview a Democrat or if any protests are allowed to be shown.
I have my doubts about both.
