(9,874 posts)I can't imagine that anyone winning the Presidency would want to keep campaigning after the election. There has to be another reason and, unfortunately, I believe it is to make a case for limiting public demonstrations.

Bear Creek
(883 posts)Without burning flag. But the flag burning during the rnc was the communist party and not the democrats but they are too stupid to know.
bigtree
(85,986 posts)...none of the protests planned have anything to do with flag burning.
So, who's really taking the bait here?

Way to bring the country together, with an in-your-face victory tour.
