It is little wonder that New York City has evolved from an urban, bankrupt and unsafe city into one of the best cities in the world.

I attended the convention as a delegate from Ohio and with a few exceptions, felt safe due to the prence of New York's finest. I have traveled the world and felt safer identifying as an American compared to being in some areas of NYC and identifying as a Republican. Such hatred I have never seen.
