Go west to Salt Lake or Cheyenne or even Yellowstone to highlight America’s beauty. Maybe Boise or even in the Dakotas. How about a swing state like Iowa?

True. Either Branson, MO or St. Charles, MO would be good.

Branson might be able to handle the hotel space. I don’t have the figures for conventions. Plus they have Steal-Yer-Dollar City nearby for entertainment.

Send the demonstrators to the state fair grounds. Close the gates to keep them in

Needs to be in a blue stronghold, IMO. The optics of the left rioting would serve our side well.

A city with a high density of NASCAR fans should be just fine.

The ghetto is next to down town. All within 465 for security

Why not St. Charles, Missouri?

Branson, MO
Nashville, TN
Orange, CA
Holdmel, NJ (PNC Bank Center)

Regarding Nashville, as the article indicates:

Heather Middleton, a spokeswoman for the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau, said her city decided they could not make a convention work. Deana Gamble, a spokeswoman for Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney, said her city had no plans to reach out to the RNC.

Hold the convention in San Francisco. After being innoculated of course.

And watch progressive liberal marxists heads explode.

Milwaukee did not even have adequate hotel accommodations satisfactorily to host the 2002 All-Star Game at Miller Park. There were many complaints about people have to be put up in motels.

The game, itself, ended in a farcical tie when both managers used all of their pitchers.

Heck, have it in a place that isn’t heavily populated.

The 2000 convention was “in” Philadelphia but it was actually held at the convention center a few miles outside of the city. You had to go on special buses to get there. The exit off of the interstate was closed to all traffic except official traffic.

There was a fun sort-of convention in the city. It had lots of patriotic displays and activities. It had some of the First Ladies dresses also. Maica and I went to it and had a great time.

This time I think it should be held in a Republican right to carry state.

Chattanooga is good! With the liberal protesters, it could be another “Battle Above the Clouds!”

Coeur D Alene Idaho is clean and beautiful. If rioters are bused in by Soros, they will be bused out by ambulance.

How about a virtual convention on line where everyone can participate and vote? Anyone who becomes a “delegate” would have to fork over 100 dollars to keep the phonies out. That could raise a lot of money too.
