As the event approached, it became more and more clear that rather than being like the Harley gatherings, it was instead going to be the sort of event highly confined to the secure areas. The need for intense security checkpoints meant that few people wanted to deal with crossing security borders more than once. People in stayed in; people out stayed out.
Let's face it: no one wants to deal with right-wing cops (most of them) enforcing security for a right-wing political convention...especially the sort of people such security would be inclined to be suspicious or disrespectful of.
And this was, frankly, predictable. Republicans today are hardly the sort to explore "horrible cities" when their führer describes cities as hellscapes of crime. They're gonna stay safely within security perimeters, for the most part.
Is it because Republicans don't like to explore anything out of their comfort zone?
I’m sure all convention-goers were happy with their resort services.
