If you take Republicans at their word, small businesses are the lifeblood of the party. But their mom-and-pop worship does not appear to apply to Milwaukee, the site of the 2024 Republican National Convention.

According to a new report from longtime Milwaukee journalist Dan Shafer, the RNC, which pitched a projected $200 million in economic impact in its bid to secure Milwaukee as a host city for the convention, has failed to book the expected number of local venues, leaving businesses set to close for the week to accommodate reservations and events related to the convention high and dry.

“That kind of anticipated economic impact that everyone was high-fiving and champagne-popping and press conferencing about. At this point in time, none of that really has come true, for the most part,” Gary Witt, president and CEO of the Pabst Theater Group, which owns several venues that have hosted presidential town halls in the city, said. “ It’s 100 percent a case of ‘overpromise, underdeliver,’ on all parts, by everybody.”

The party of personal responsibility reportedly promised to book out theaters to host events throughout the week, only to back out. The same is true of restaurants, many of which blocked off reservations in advance, only to never hear back. “I have a feeling this is going to be a business killer.… “If the (reservation) book stays the way it is, we’re not going to make enough money to cover costs,” Gregory León, a restaurant owner in the city, said. “[This is] certainly nothing like we were told or promised, and I believe it is that way for almost every restaurant in the city, with the exception of the big restaurant groups. We were told that restaurants and venues would be booked months in advance.… It’s turned out to be quite the contrary.”

Witt characterized the RNC planning as “underwhelming” and a “failure.”

1. They've got (legal) bills to pay ya know

[AllyCat]

2. Typical republicans. Cannot organize to help anyone.

Just working to get fascism to our door, not capitalism for the markets.

[BoRaGard]

5. Yup, typical republicans

Screw the pooch bigly,
then blame others.

[Chipper Chat]

3. There's always McDonalds.

Not to worry Lara.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Clearly the GOP strategy for winning does not involve elections or campaigning

The money must be going to election denial strategies and post-election litigation

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

12. I'm sure whatever the end up spending on the election...

will only go to disrupters.

[calimary]

6. Well well well. Another report, from a different source this time.

The first report I saw was from a source with a very strange name that I’d never heard before:

https://www.therecombobulationarea.news/p/special-report-rnc-bookings-underwhelming


What if your city is hosting the RNC convention but nobody's coming? [View all]

Headline and subhed:

SPECIAL REPORT: RNC bookings “underwhelming” and a “failure,” event venues and restaurants raise concerns
The Riverside Theater and Pabst Theater will sit empty during the convention, and some downtown restaurant owners worry over lack of activity, with RNC just weeks away.

8. Probably getting wined and dined on Russian yachts

In the port.

11. The airport has an area called that, just beyond TSA checkpoint.

Always found that humorous.

7. Hopefully...

This will show the potential voters that they really can't do a damn thing right.

[MOMFUDSKI]

9. The entire rethug party is

FUBAR

[BComplex]

10. Republicans know how to plan to destroy the government, but can't actually run anything once they succeed in

getting hold of it.

[Biophilic]

13. Why does anyone believe republicans?

Seriously, they are never about supporting anyone or any thing but themselves and trump.

[Midnight Writer]

14. Those unbooked venues dodged a bullet, because TeamTrump probably would not pay them anyway.

[tanyev]

15. Add on to that all the cities still waiting for reimbursement from the 2016 Trump campaign.

Donald Trump is a grifter who will leave you high and dry. Always.

[Hekate]

16. Just curious: does Lara have any backround in event planning beyond a birthday party?

What is her resume, beyond being orange thug’s daughter in law? Does she think things of this magnitude just happen?

Or was this part of the plan to burn it all down?

SMH

17. Attn: Small businesses, farmers, women, teachers, the military, medium businesses, and Americans

Republicans will screw you. End of story.

Btw I ❤️ having somebody with no experience as Chairman of the RNC.

[surfered]

18. Over promise and under deliver is Trump's "modus operandi."

[Traurigkeit]

19. In future, dealing with Republicans make them pay AHEAD of the reservation

[FakeNoose]

20. Billboard in Milwaukee - thanks to DNC

I feel bad for the people of Milwaukee because they deserve better than this.
I hope the venues are getting paid upfront.
