It's brutally ironic that Wisconsin and Milwaukee had to lose the traditional DNC in order for convention planners to brilliantly create a triumphant national online convention featuring everyday people showing and telling politically-transformational stories which memorably and effectively launched the Biden-Harris ticket.
Trump's removal from office along with his collection of thieves and flunkies will be Wisconsin, Milwaukee and America's reward.
So while it's too early to know if the pre-2020 nominating convention model remains viable, or desirable, let alone whether Milwaukee would be the DNC's host city in 2024, I'd make this argument now:
If, and /or when economic stability returns, Democrats of good will should put Milwaukee on their vacation and road trip agendas, show up and tell people and businesses here, 'Sorry we missed you in 2020, but we're here now, so show us what you've got.'
