Republican convention 2016

At the Republican convention, it’s signs, signs, everywhere a sign

A vast array of interest groups—both pro- and anti-Donald Trump—have massed in Cleveland, and they’re making their voices heard

As security and party honchos work overtime to ensure that the only demonstrations inside Cleveland’s Quicken Loans arena are prostrations at the feet of Donald Trump—officially the party’s torch-bearer—it’s been a festival of signage outside the Republican National Convention. Trump has not been picky about using the eye of Sauron that is his wanton angry rhetoric, and so a vast array of interest groups—Black Lives Matter, Christian evangelicals, Trump supporters, Trump bashers, pro-Mexican and anti-Muslim forces—have been making their voices heard outside. Sarah Palmer is in Cleveland capturing the storm of outrage and opinion massing up around in Cleveland.
