TKC READER QUESTION: WHO DO WE BLAME FOR KANSAS CITY LOSING THE 2016 REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION BID?!?!
The Kansas City elite seem to be working diligently at partying with top level Republican politicos in order to lure their 2016 convention.
The latest tidbit in this hunt for a GOP local party comes from a presser put out on Friday:
"The KC RNC 2016 Bid Task Force today announced that long-time civic leaders The Honorable Peggy Dunn, mayor of Leawood, Kan., and Terry Dunn, JE Dunn Construction Group CEO, will chair the KC RNC 2016 Finance Committee."
Never mind that those two rich white people don't mean that much to anybody outside of the metro area . . .
More interestingly . . .
KANSAS CITY INSIDERS QUESTION IF DEMOCRATIC MAYORS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STATE LINE ARE CAPABLE OF EFFECTIVELY LEADING THIS KANSAS CITY CONVENTION PUSH!!!
Here's a quote on the topic . . .
"The audience is RNC members, so, 2 democrat Mayors (???), they need to be supportive but absolutely not front and center, it simply displays that they are runing the bid and they are democrats, These fools don’t even know how silly they actually look."
Moreover . . .
Every so often mainstream media likes to pretend that Kansas City really has a shot at this convention if only to justify the exorbitant expense of all the junkets to party with GOP leadership.
And so . . .
GIVEN THAT KANSAS CITY IS SPENDING SERIOUS CASH TO PARTY WITH THE GOP LEADERSHIP TO LURE THE CONVENTION . . . WHO SHOULD WE BLAME WHEN THE BID FAILS?!?!
Mayor Sly and Chief of staff John McGurk already dismissed the white lady who started this Kansas City quest . . . So it'll be hard to hang this on her even if that's what everybody seems to want.
Rest assured, this question might put a damper on some of the partying in what everybody knows is a losing effort.

Like everything else that goes wrong at City Hall. The Mayor's people will blame the City Manager.
ReplyDeleteI blame the citizens, the state, the culture of oppression, the culture of systemic racism, the years of unresolved injustice, a broken court system, and lack of good morals.
DeleteAs long as the platform is against unsolicited bulk email.
ReplyDeleteBlame Bush.
ReplyDeletePlease tell City Hall that we don't want the convention in KCMO.
ReplyDeleteTKC you are waaay out of touch on this one..... Developing
ReplyDeleteLook at the cartoons Lee Judge writes.
ReplyDelete7:17, the city manager is a chronic LYER.
ReplyDeleteIm sure the mayor's republican staffer will deliver the convention and then run for council
ReplyDeleteBe thankful that we did not get the convention.
ReplyDeleteBe thankful that we did not get the convention.
ReplyDeleteI blame whoever came up with that horrible logo.
ReplyDeleteCan Cathy Nugent guarantee the convention for Merriam? It already has hookers and drug dealers, and IKEA is coming!
ReplyDeleteThat should be "whom do we blame."
ReplyDeleteThe further we stay away from these political conventions, the better. The only winners are the cops (lotsa new toys) and the developers (they get to build we don't need or want).
ReplyDeleteWhy Did the Mayor not put Cathy Nugent on the committee. She was the one that started this quest. I guess he could not control her.
ReplyDeleteThe notion that the convention of a major politicial party would be coming to KCMO was a joke from the start.
ReplyDeleteBut there are donors to be fleeced and consultant contracts to be had and "since we've come this far, there's no turning back".
And if we can fool enough of the poeple enough of the time, maybe this scam can be parlayed into a new taxpayer-funded downtown hotel!
Everything's up to date in River City!
Runing?
ReplyDeleteI have lost faith in KCMO voters. The few that actually do go out and vote. They seem to accept bad governance as the norm.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been hilarious if the GOP announced KCMO to host. I just want to see the reaction to that from all the hipsters and occupy wall st people.
ReplyDeleteSome people enjoy attending meetings, free lunches, free travel and their names in print.
ReplyDeleteHolland and James are Progressives. They think every thought that comes into their heads are anointed.
This was a joke from the beginning.
Who in their right mind would have a convention in a town that doesn't even have decent strip bars?
ReplyDeleteIt's going to Denver. Legalized weed locked it up on jan 1.
ReplyDeleteThey'll preach about family values all day and blaze all night.
Niggerville is a Democrat shithole cowtown!
ReplyDeleteBuddy Rumble and the Nazis did their best to welcome the RNC here. It's was the Anarchist, the Communist and the Socialist that stopped the RNC in Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteI can't see the RNC coming to a town that's 30% black.
ReplyDeleteyou can't see shit, Byron. Fucking young boy jacking sex freak.
ReplyDeleteSTFU pervert.
ReplyDeleteMeltdown, struck a nerve!
