Is this a good thing? NC has gotten a lot of black eyes lately thanks to the republicans. All we need is Trump proclaiming how much he loves Charlotte and NC. No thanks hopefully they'll withdraw the bid.
Think of all the jobs and development that were lost because we were associated with back woods republicans. Is this an image we really want? Not to get too political but we're still trying to get over the mess from hb2.

Yes. Money is money. Both sides of the aisle on city council have shown support for this as well. We already did the DNC, now on to RNC.

The counter-protests in Raleigh could no doubt help NC win HQ2...

Is Raleigh losing jobs and development (I know the answer to that.)
Charlotte is on fire as far as jobs and growth. Believe it or not, a lot of corporations are big cheerleaders of the GOP. They suppprt the GOP. They like we are bankrupting our country so they can grow their profits. Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Raleigh, Charlotte, Miami, Orlando are not suffering one bit due to our more conservative states.
This is relevant to the topic in I think Amazon is looking for tech talent and where it can best grow. Maybe Raleigh is too small of a labor pool or more difficult to draw people to than DC. Maybe there’s no good real estate in DC and NC is willing to pay for some roads to a large Amazon campus and provide lots of infrastructure.
I think this will be purely be made on what’s best for the company operationally. Traffic, congestion, Gays is just a bunch of noise.

How many companies and events passed on Charlotte and Raleigh because of HB2? If you think it's all in the past,that's fine. I for one don't believe think memories are that short. Just my opinion though.
But since you brought it up. I'm sure the RNC would impress Amazon and even Apple.

Apple has a large server and solar farm off US321 north of Lincolnton. Amazon has warehouses in Charlotte and Concord.
Charlotte does not need Amazon HQ with 50,000 employees and the families which would put a higher tax to support all these people.
Who knows where Apple will go.
Last quote I have see, Charlotte is gaining about 21.900 people a year. You tell something is growing by the traffic.

There's a reason most cities are saying no thanks to the RNC. That's all I'm saying.
If it is on TV I will not watch, I have no use for Trump.
