   I remember hearing our media experts telling us that the Cleveland convention could see lots of potential violence due to the combination of Trump people and protestors.  So what happened.  Another case of the dog that didn't bark.

No, they're just focusing their efforts at the DNC - at least the ones who were supposed to cause violence are.

Beans fed to a 1,000 or so people, even in dangerously high quantities, aren't going to change the atmosphere of a large hall.

People though it would be violent like previous Trump rallies in the past. Thanks to the Cleveland police force, that wasn't the case.

The real drama was the plagiarism and nonendorsement inside the convention hall.

Thanks to Governor John Kasich and the extraordinary police presence he made sure was put in place, peaceful protest and RNC security were both accommodated quite nicely. Bravo, Cleveland. Bravo, Governor Kasich.

Yeah, we didn't see any violence at this RNC. Very surprising.

There would have been violence had the GOP snatched the nomination away from Trump
