Track Milwaukee cliches during Republican National Convention coverage with RNC Bingo Card

The national news media are coming to Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention, and you know what that means.

We'll have to brace for a barrage of cliches and predictable "insights" about the city from people who couldn't find Milwaukee on a map (assuming the map doesn't place the city in Minnesota).

So why not make a game of all those inevitable observations you'll be hearing during convention coverage?

That's the thought behind the Republican National Convention Bingo Card.

You'll find 24 of the most obvious Milwaukee references you're likely to see or hear during coverage of the convention on television and the internet. (Center square is a free space.)

What do you win? How about a break from all the talking heads chatter?
