Milwaukee Bucks vice president Alex Lasry — who along with Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Milwaukee, helped oversee the city's bid for the convention — hailed the news....Hail the news... and Hail, Wisconsin. You wanted to avoid us, but that worked out so badly for you last time, and now, you come crawling back. In my frozen cold heart, I await your endless mewling, Wisconsin Wisconsin Wisconsin.
"For the next year and a half, everyone will be talking about the ‘Road to Milwaukee,' putting an emphasis on the importance of Wisconsin and the Midwest for winning the presidency," Lasry said....
The post title can be understood by reading the earlier post, "Democratic Congressman Steve Cohen likens Ilhan Omar (and other colleagues) to cats — saying, 'The cats have to understand who provides the water and kibble and cleans the litter.'"
Just when I'd stopped getting ready to jump,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was Trump
Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear...
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry, my dear!
But where are the cats?
Send in the cats!
Don't bother, they're here....
UPDATE, 5 minutes after posting:
The cat is ready to fight in The North!

Meade TOLD us NOT to get him started on Cats! Now look what you've done!
Too many black people in Detroit for the Dems.
I can hardly wait for the Socialist/Antifa riots. Should make for some good tv.
As an outsider looking in, I expect that the whole Democrat nomination process will be equal parts entertaining, appalling, humorous, and depressing. Not unlike watching fight videos on World Star.
What monuments are going to have to be ripped down for the Dems?
Northam is going to give the keynote speech in blackface
BTW, here in Nevada our new governor is a guy from Milwaukee, an alumnus of UW-M.

The Bronze Fonz is the most popular. But isnt Fonzie a bit problematic? Plus, Winkler is Jewish. Into the river with it.
Southwest has a lot of flights into Milwaukee. They're the big winner.
Every delegate gets a Tommy Bartlett Water Show bumper sticker.
The Fonz is toxic masculinity. Justin Fairfax’s victims are going to be triggered.
Socialist/Antifa riots
Mobs, warlock hunters, and killzones would be a progressive coup for... in Wisconsin.
Althouse and Meade need to apply for media credentials. Could be a blast.
What night will Trump speak?
Milwaukee - ruined.
I really look forward to the synergy of Radical Islam and Radical Feminism that will take place. Almost as much fun as watching the MSM and the talking heads try to explain how both radical ideologies are a natural fit. Unless they completely ignore it, which is more likely. No photos of convention goers facing Mecca? Just don't try to bring your evil Christian values into the camp. You will be destroyed.
AOC will speak on Tuesday night while Americans are watching the MLB All Star game. She’ll be whipping up the illegal alien voting bloc.
What night will Trump speak?<
Are you kidding ? He is speaking to all the Democrats in their heads every day,
The Dem elites don't strike me as beer drinkers, but it might help the local sex industry. And Trump in Wisconsin.
An excellent strategic move!
It forces the nominee to visit Wisconsin at least once.
If they fly into Madison to pick up checks, that's twice!
Will Milwaukee 2020 eclipse Chicago '68?
Tom thinks she is bean of the hill, but Jerry has planned to eat her cheese.
I'm loving the fact that the dems are going full old white hypocrite socialist Bernie.
Yeah - he's a freakshow disaster, but if were going straight to ruin, lets get in the fast lane.
We're gonna need a bigger litter box...
Hillary's revenge. and yes - there better be some BIG checks waiting for her.
Lots of catty comments here but not much insight.I suspect the choice was made because of hotels within walking distance and the Santiago Calatrava gull wing art museum with will make a visual backdrop instead of the projected riots in the imagination of some bloggers.
"Northam is going to give the keynote speech in blackface"
The governor moonwalks on little cat feet.

Well, that's funny. I hadn't thought of riots, but you know the word "projected," so, you're hoist on your own petard.

Milwaukee DNC 2020
Come for the Socialism. Stay for the riots.
2020 D Convention - 5 days of "Orange man bad" plus Antifa. I'll read about it on Althouse.
Come for the Socialism. Stay for the riots.
A shirt-tail relation of mine was Frank Zeidler, the Socialist mayor of Milwaukee from 1948 to 1960. Frank was Milwaukee's third Socialist mayor (after Emil Seidel [1910-12] and Daniel Hoan [1916-40]), making Milwaukee the largest American city to elect three Socialists to its highest office.
I suspecct the choice was made bcause the Dems think they can win Wisconsin because we just elected a Dem governor. Evers is going off the rails with proposing tax hikes and double the average borrowing under Walker for 8 years. How about giving illegals drivers licenses? IMO just before he wants to give them the ability to vote in state elections. Hotels may have been the second reason.
I hope every citizen of Wisconsin has seen already what a shit show this guy is. And votes to keep Trump in office.
"Evers is going off the rails with proposing tax hikes and double the average borrowing under Walker for 8 years."
What difference does it make what he proposes? I don't get it. He doesn't have the legislature.
Yes you are right to call out my word order. I meant the bloggers on this thread who brought up riots, which I consider just a projection of their vivid imagination.
Bloggers or commentators, rv?
Will the sexual assaults be prosecuted if the victims report them?
Asking for a candidate.
Well Evers has the majority of the people in Wisconsin and eventually the Republicans will have to represent them. So we shall see.
We can expect some RINO Never-Trumper to give the obligatory "I didn't leave the Republican Party. The Republican Party left me" speech. You can't have a convention without it.
Wisconsin says: Send in the clones.
Herding Wisconsonites.
The convention will be good for "Barrette"'s train in vain, The Hop.
The Potawatomi casino fare subsidization runs out soon.
Didn’t Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon just say that Milwaukee is segregated and a racist city?
A further repudiation of Hillary's judgement.
Target rich environment for a blog with a high interest in rats.
Well Evers has the majority of the people in Wisconsin and eventually the Republicans will have to represent them. So we shall see.
Or they can wait for Evers to throw money at the black-white achievement gap, a problem that cannot be solved with money, and fail. Then the majority of the people in Wisconsin will come back to the GOP.
It has not escaped my notice that addressing the black-white achievement gap had been Evers job before he was elected governor, and he failed. He thinks he failed because he didn't have enough money to throw at it. Actually he failed because he is no damned good at accomplishing things.
Democrats think people seeing who they really are will help them get elected?
The press that is allowed in will be very limited. They will likely not even let Fox News in the building.
Only state approved media gets to host debates as well.
Logistically, how are there enough hotel rooms in Milwaukee for the 2010 convention? Milwaukee is decent sized, but I live in a city/region with three times the population and delegates were staying very far away from the action because of a lack of hotel space. Chicago is almost two hours away, which is a little far if the point of the convention is to see people face-to-face.
@SDaly, not to worry! There's a company in Green Bay that makes tents. Party tents. Big tents.
Chicago is almost two hours away
Not too late for High Speed Rail!
Unless the Democrats do a 180 and actually start running candidates who aren't half out of the closet Communists I don't see how they are going to win back the Trump Democrats and independents in Wisconsin or elsewhere. At least Milwaukee will get some local revenue from the probable Leftist spectacle so good for the bars and restaurants.
Since Milwaukee is the most segregated city in America, it does seem like the appropriate choice for the intersectional neo-segregationist party.

It's not about this election cycle. It's about the political theater leading up to the next cycles this year (WI Supreme Court) and the general in 2020. It's already started with the oppo ads against Hagedorn.
I guess that is one way to get the Democrat Presidential nominee to visit the state. On the other hand, the protests will be spectacular. I also think that might be the smartest move the DNC could make.
Everything will be 'Orange Man bad, ergo (R) bad.'
It's definitely a healthy distance from the Southern "border".

Hispanics like baseball. So they might not be watching her either.
Warren can start drinking Pabst.
If this overlaps summerfest, which I think it will, you won't need riots for downtown to be a total mess. Hotels within walking distance - people will be lucky to find a place closed than Oconomowoc.
Easy money to be had to whoever sets up and charges for a Trump punching bag
Or a Shotz.
Closer.
The most important presidential campaign event in Milwaukee since Theodore Roosevelt was shot there in October 1912.
CWJ,
Summerfest 2020 ends on July 5th, I think. Convention on 13th-16th.
But yeah..there will still likely be a buildup of visitors, media mill etc.
Walter, Point taken. I was remembering the lakeside ethnic festivals which follow Summerfest.
“You see, it takes more than one bullet to kill a Bull Moose.”
Wilson provided the rest a few weeks later.
Interesting choice and probably a good one for the Democrats this year, with the prospect of their positioning themselves as the natural and legitimate and All-American heirs of Robert La Follette (WI) and Eugene V. Debs (IN/IL).
Too bad the Coyote Ugly closed..would've been poetic if Acosta was spotted there.
"The 2020 DNC is expected to begin July 13, one day after Milwaukee’s annual Bastille Days festival is scheduled to wrap up on Cathedral Square"

Trap-Neuter-Clip Ear-Tracker Chip-Return to the communities where they live. Sounds just right for feral Democrats.
Will they bring back Sheriff Emeritus David Clarke, hat and all, to face down the GOP rioters.
Great Scot!,
On horseback, he could be leading them.
USA Today, March 8, 2019. "Bucks' Malcolm Brogdon: Racially segregated Milwaukee needs to change 'rapidly'"
What six-winged cat (rough beast indeed) slouches toward Milwaukee? Surely the apocalypse is upon us.
I’m looking forward to the constant mispronunciations of Wisconsin, and Wisconsin place names.
It’s “Wisconsin” not “wesconsin”
I’m looking forward to the constant mispronunciations of Wisconsin, and Wisconsin place names.
Waukesha, Wauwatosa, and Oconomowoc.
Anne, pencil it in on your calendar. I started reading your blog way back during the Madison Capital "teacher riots" which you covered so well! Can't wait! What a hoot this will be!
MeadeHouse is considering a move.
Milwaukee has lots of interestingness outside the door.
ah tom 'street car' barrett, what could go wrong I suggest large quantities of rabies vaccine,
He'll be borrowing Spike Lee's conductor outfit and driving The Hop.
Great alternate ideas for the umpteen Dem candidates -- how many will still be candidates by then?
Will they be cool cats?
Or clown cats?
Clown cats go viral more often, with far more views.
And I'd expect Orange Man Bad to say, about whoever is the Dem nominee, the same bad stuff that other candidates said. So it will stick more.
Should be quite a clownshow.
