“New York, with Mayor de Blasio, and some of the people who’ve been around him and all the police controversies,” said Baruch College political science professor Thomas Halper, regarding the DNC coming here, “New York may be too hot to handle.”
He was commenting on newly released information about private investment in attracting the event that could pump up to $340 million into the area economy, according to some estimates. Bringing the DNC to New York requires the city to raise $100 million in pledges from private donors. A month ago, it had raised $15 million, according to the mayor’s office. Now, a month later, the figure has barely budged to only $16 million.
This is about as upsetting as not getting the Olympics.

I'd be so happy if that convention was someplace else.
We can't afford Democrats. Go to Philly instead.
Crime will be too high by then,no one will want to come here.
They'd probably love it here because there's 1.5 million illegals here that they can give voting rights to and push their liberal ideas on.
There's another story that the Russian who owns the Brooklyn Nets and a share of Barclay's Center is desperate to sell both. "Must raise cash".
ha ha ha.
and stay out.
Good. There will be less of taxpayers money spent on security, overtime, etc.
Too much instability in NYC . Too much of a security risk for such a large event. Either Cleveland or Philly should hold it.
