Lack of DNC bookings disappointing Chicago’s hospitality industry...Could it be Kamala is not all that???

[Freedomisneverfree]

As Chicago gears up for the Democratic National Convention starting Aug. 19, the city’s hotels and restaurants are confronting a lower-than-expected surge in hotel demand.
Could it be Kamala is not all that and a bag of chips?
Hotel bookings have been lackluster leading up to the four-day DNC, with availability ranging between 63 percent and 70 percent at the start of the month, well below prior-year figures and markedly lower than the 90 percent occupancy rates seen in August 2019, Crain’s reported, citing data from CoStar Group.

“I wish that I could say to you, ‘We are booked solid and we are jam-packed.’ I wish,” said Michelle Durpetti, the owner of Gene & Georgetti’s, a steakhouse in River North.

Convention organizers inked contracts with 40 hotels for a block of about 15,000 rooms, or close to 30 percent of all hotel inventory in the central business district, the outlet reported.

The DNC will buy-up all the rooms and take care of that.....They have plenty of grift money.

Why should anyone go to a convention that doesn't matter? The delegates' votes were stolen from them, they've probably all given up and decided to stay home.

It's probably more due the fear of the riots planned by the Hamas wing of their party.

I hope that carries over to the election period.

Dam shame it's not election day anymore.

There's absolutely no reason to go to this convention, the nomination has already been given to Kamala after a virtual vote count. Delegates will have nothing to do but listen to dumb boring speeches and dodging bottles and rocks thrown by Hamas protesters.

In Chicago like a lot of liberal jurisdictions, people can just camp out on the sidewalks and in the parks. Why rent an expensive hotel room? The Party doesn't pay for these rooms, that's done by the individual conventioneers.

Hopefully, Antifa and BLM organizers can pick up the slack and fill the rooms with rioters that will be coming in.

This might be fun to watch when they disrupt everything

Chicago is already a cesspool of pointless violence. Why do the DEMS want to add to it with their violent convention?

Watch what happens next week Freedumb.

They have MAGA country gangs running around in the middle of the night harassing the African American She-Male community, from my understanding.

 

[IM2]

lol. You said that last week...

And Harris has taken the lead. So just watch what happens and don't lie to yoursef about it like you're trying to do now.

 

[The Irish Ram]

That's the media lying to you. Harris has never been popular, unless it's some other woman's husband...
