‘I love Milwaukee’: Trump campaign denies reports he was planning to stay in Chicago during convention https://t.co/yMvGd2482A
— POLITICO (@politico) June 18, 2024
Per the NYTimes, “Trump Wasn’t Going to Stay in Milwaukee. Then Reporters Asked.”: [gift link]:
When Republicans gather in Milwaukee next month to nominate him for president, Donald J. Trump planned to stay not in the convention’s host city but at a Trump hotel in Chicago, some 90 miles away, according to three people briefed on the former president’s logistics.
That changed midafternoon on Tuesday, after reporters for The New York Times and an ABC station in Chicago contacted his campaign for comment.
Mr. Trump now intends to stay in Milwaukee, two of the people briefed on his logistics said. The change avoids a perceived slight to the largest city in Wisconsin, a vital battleground state.
Mr. Trump has been on the defensive about his views on Milwaukee since news outlets reported last week that he had called it a “horrible” city in a private meeting with House Republicans in Washington…
The initial decision for Mr. Trump to spend his nights at the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago was made partly because of his own preference and partly because of security and logistics concerns, according to one of the people with knowledge of the Chicago plan. All of the people insisted on anonymity to discuss sensitive planning arrangements.
Mr. Trump has over the years generally preferred to sleep at his own properties while campaigning, and in his 2016 run for president, he sometimes flew hundreds of miles to sleep in his own bed. It also remains possible that Mr. Trump’s plans could change again before the convention starts on July 15…
Mr. Trump lost Wisconsin to President Biden by roughly 20,000 votes in 2020, an outcome fueled in part by suburban Milwaukee voters shifting their support to Mr. Biden. The state, which Mr. Trump won in 2016, has been a critical focus of both the Trump and Biden campaigns.
Mr. Trump continues to maintain falsely that voting in Milwaukee, a solidly Democratic city, was rife with fraud, even as a nonpartisan audit found no evidence to support the claim.
He also criticized Milwaukee during the 2020 campaign, calling it politically corrupt and citing it as an example of urban decay and violence that he said were out of control, as he appealed for support to white suburbanites…
Politico adds:
… Convention organizers promised last year that all the state delegations would stay in hotels within the borders of Wisconsin, a key battleground state. They also suggested Republicans fly in and out of the Milwaukee airport, avoiding Illinois as a blue state that isn’t “politically in our corner,” Elise Dickens, CEO of the Republican National Convention, told POLITICO in December.
He would love to get the Secret Service to pay him by booking rooms at his hotel in Chicago. https://t.co/wYAaLPPtxE

This Trump campaign (number three!) seems different than his previous campaigns.
Are the reporters more aggressive? Maybe. I hope so.
But my memory of his attitude in the previous campaign was a more arrogant Trump who wouldn’t change where he stays from his branded hotel to one in Milwaukee just because it was a bad look that reporters asked his campaign about. He was all about “who cares/fuck you.”
What is happening here? A weaker Trump mentally? Probably.
Internal polling that indicates a need to capture more moderates? Maybe.
Better campaign staff? Maybe, but they still have Trump as the candidate.
I don’t know but it seems like he is
softer and less arrogantweaker this time. Maybe it was all the felonies.ETA. correction.

I lived in Milwaukee as a child and since it was the 50’s it was a booming town, if there were bad parts I was too young to know about them.
I lived in Milwaukee in the 80’s and there were good parts and bad parts, the same as any other big city; there were sections where I kept windows rolled up and doors locked, but I did that when visited any big city.
I doubt that Milwaukee is that much different from any big mid west city; some places a female doesn’t walk alone and some places even a child alone is safe. What I do know from the relatives that still live in Wisconsin is that the racism has gotten worse, the hatred of anyone different has gotten worse, and some of the family who are into organic on their farms are feeling the pressure to sell. What is worse those who live in areas where cities have spread to the country taxes are eating them alive as they are finding themselves no longer living in rural but in suburban areas without moving.

Reposting this from downstairs, a tale of another city that begins with “Mi…”:
The city that led the charge to “Defund the Police” has turned against the idea.
You may think it’s about white NIMBY types having a hissy fit, but what it is really about is Black folks who were never consulted about the idea making their opinions known:
This article should really be covered by a front pager, but in the absence of that happening, read the whole thing. It is fascinating and sobering and many parts reflect what people in this very comment section have said.

@Mapaghimagsik:
Yes, but they had huge assists from various entities.
The MSM going nuts over Hillary’s emails, and uncritically repeating the hacked DNC emails Russia fed to Wikileaks. People in his campaign like Manafort and Rudy did meet with people closely linked to Putin, which did help Putin’s disinformation campaign, as they were fed information from these contacts. Peter Thiel provided data mining services to the campaign, which helped them micro target ads on social media platforms like Facebook.
Manafort can’t get near Trump because they are both convicted felons. Rudy’s burned through whatever good reputation he once had. Russia tried to launder their disinformation about the “Biden Crime Family” through James Comer, but it blew up in Comer’s face thanks to the Democrats on that committee and Comer’s main source of information being from a Russian spy. David Pecker isn’t running negative stories about Trump’s opponents anymore.
In short, the outside actors that really shored up Trump’s 2016 campaign, are not significant players this year.

Let’s say one’s young adult daughter, as part of her public policy Master’s program, is going to be attending the RNC this summer along with a dozen of her fellow students.

@Jeffro: Well, on a serious note, back in 2020 people were sharing dos and don’ts for going to protests, which I would think have some relevancy — especially as Trump has a history of inciting crowds to riot, as well as pointing them at the press and other observers.

@Elizabelle: Eugene Vindman ought to be able to hold that seat. He’ll certainly have enough money. In 2022, Rep. Spanberger won by around 4%, but she is a “formidable politician” (in Bill Bolling’s words), and her opponent was a lightweight, so 7th District Democrats will have to work hard this summer and fall.
I’ve been interested in the 10th CD primary to fill Rep. Jennifer Wexton’s seat. It looks like state Senator Suhas Subramanyam has won it. The 37 year-old Subramanyam worked in the Obama White House. Before that, he grew up in Houston, earned a BA from Tulane and then a law degree from Northwestern University.
Although he’s from Texas, Subramanyam has a family connnection to the 10th CD. When his parents emigrated to the US from Bangalore, India, Dulles Airport was their port of entry.
Democrats had another important Congressional primary today, in the coastal 2nd CD. There, Missy Smazol beat Jake Denton and will face Rep. Jen Kiggans in November. Both women are retired Navy officers, as was Kiggans’ predecessor Elaine Luria.

Whose idea was that? I’d rather visit a Mafia family reunion!
Is she attending as in, will be in the hall? Or “attending” as in, will be observing from outside?
The tips already given are very good. Here are some more:
The group must stay together. No one wanders off on their own. No one is left alone.
Go to the bathroom before they leave the hotel (or wherever) and try not to go while there. If absolutely necessary, go in a group. Hopefully they’re about half and half men and women.
Cash money. hidden in shoe.
Bottled water and some snacks.
Shatter-proof sunglasses.
Extra phone, hidden in purse or backpack (though backpacks may not be allowed anywhere near the convention center).
A gas mask would be nice, but they’re not exactly unobtrusive.
Agree ahead of time on some hand signals or verbal ones for “Help!,” “Let’s get out of here!” and other useful phrases. Maybe be ready to call one another to rescue someone from an unpleasant conversation/confrontation.
Memorize where all the exits are, and the quickest way to them.

Don’t look now, but Good has pulled slightly ahead of McGuire. It’s very close, with 87% of the votes in.

@Starfish: Too much dissonance for me. It’s absolutely effective populism, and Hawley has a radio voice, and he’s not dumb. But to listen to it you have to abstract from the fact that Hawley is a cheerleader for and beneficiary of the system of elite compensation he’s attacking here, and absolutely just doing a kind of Stalinist denunciation in this video. So no, I don’t enjoy it on the whole. It is kind of funny how confused the Boeing guy is, but…bookmark this one. This feels like a peek into our future after Trump.
Populism will rise in direct proportion to the degree of alienation people feel from their political system, as and before a lot of people become completely depoliticized and essentially turn in to Russians.
Here’s a dissonant thought: I think within a decade there will be populist authoritarian environmentalists. There will be (essentially) climate change nationalists. And it will be pretty hard to define a climate change nationalist as opposed to a fascist. They’ll share a lot of territory with respect to immigration. They won’t have the foggiest idea of what you’re talking about when you say “democracy.”
Very interesting clip. Appreciate you posting it and noting how it resonates, as the partisan impulse here probably mostly will not approve. Hawley definitely out-Katie-Porters Katie Porter here. Let’s all remember that Hawley is the guy who went out of his way to raise a fist in solidarity with what are now the Jan6 “hostages.”

I think the GOP regards Boeing as a “liberal” company because it used to be based in Seattle and still has a significant presence there. Therefore, it’s OK to hate on them.
Fact is, Boeing became just another bunch of vulture capitalists when they were subsumed by McDonnell Douglas and moved their executive offices to Chicago. They’re certainly not “liberal” in any meaningful sense.
