What Milwaukee can learn from Cleveland, the last city to host a full-scale Republican National Convention

CLEVELAND — The experience of another Great Lakes city that hosted the Republican National Convention shows it might be helpful for Milwaukee businesses to temper expectations, realizing that some local businesses will prosper, while others might lose out.

Eight years ago, the last time the Republican National Convention was held in-person, Cleveland hosted the more than 40,000 delegates, politicians, journalists and others who descended on the city for the quadrennial event. Milwaukee hosts the convention July 15-18 at Fiserv Forum.
