I notice the South Dakota GOP is holding its three-day convention at the Monument in Rapid City June 25–27. The SDGOP’s convention registration page emphasizes that the Monument doesn’t allow any outside food or drink, so participants can’t pack a few sandwiches or apples or granola bars in their backpacks to power through the committee meetings.
So how much will it cost for delegates to sustain themselves on event center meals for three days of action-packed Republicanizing?
Three days, six meals—$198. Bring a friend, and you’ll spend nearly $400 to eat with the elephants on site at convention.
I suppose that’s just the price of doing business at South Dakota’s premier event centers… but I still can’t get myself to spend $62 on a meal anywhere, on any occasion… especially not when I could walk across the park and down the street to the Firehouse Brewing Company and eat for a third of that cost.
You left out the pole dancers Friday night. The visual stars and stripes will be great.
Oh, a double order of Rancher’s Pie and a pint of stout will run you almost $62, Mr. H. Might grudznick recommend the Independent Ale House, which caters to Republicans as well, just a couple more blocks over.
The real question is why any Conservative, especially the fatcat ones that go to the convention, would spend $20 for a continental breakfast when gravytaters and sausages are to be had a short walk, for most, just down the road at Tally’s.
f.o.m.o is why g. You might miss something while you’re dining at Tally’s.
Tally’s is where the decisions based on reality are made, Mr. Lansing. The convention happens in a small foamy bubble of insanity, and only meaningless planks and neutered constitutional offices are sorted out for fellows who want a fat salary for no work. Come spill a little gravy at Tally’s and be part of the real issues of the day.
So veggies for magats cost as much as roast beef? Only in aagat rip u off land.
Mr. Mike, you are from Iowa indeed, but you are right to recognize that also. grudznick’s theory is that there is nobody at a Republican Convention that would order the veggie dish. Or it is a trick to out the libbies.
No grudz, you are correct, there are no healthy Republicans.
More proof that MAGA will pay through the nose for anything that’s sold to them…
Mr. Anderson, taters are vegetables. So is ketchup and mustard. Also scallions on top of egg dishes and peppercorns on bacon.
