Selective freeze out and chaos in Cleveland

Jul 14, 2016, 6:32 PM

There has always been a battle over the Republican platform. Donald Trump may not care for the platform but the delegates sure do. That’s how they get their points across and enables them to go back to their donors and says “we made headway.”

The platform stands with things like the traditional view of marriage and single-sex bathrooms. These are road-map issues.

My sources in D.C. are talking about a freeze-out that is going to happen at the RNC Convention in Cleveland. They are saying that never before have they seen such selectivity on which media sources are going to be allowed into this Convention.

They want to control the environment. But I think there is still going to be chaos. And some of it is going to be from paid agitators.

I’m making an official prediction that someone from the left is going to take advantage of the open carry law in Cleveland. I don’t think they are going to cause violence. I just think they are going to try and cause chaos. I guarantee this is already in play.
