    RNC Convention in Milwaukee?

    I saw where the RNC is being held in Milwaukee WI. Maybe it is just me, but this is a perfect example of why people fleeing the democrat party are not running to republicans. The Republican party is flat out of touch.

    The RNC is meant to elect the Republican candidate for president. The convention should be held in the reddest of red states, which at this point is either Florida or maybe Oklahoma. Instead, they pick Milwaukee, a democrat stronghold, in a state that R's have continued to lose at the national level. And I have NEVER heard a republican presidential campaign stating "Vote for me because we held our convention in your city/state". In fact, it's usually exactly the opposite, where locals get ****** because they have to deal with the traffic, additional police, and the other inconveniences of these conventions.

    Meanwhile, Democrats picked Chicago. About as blue as you can get. They know their base.

    Why do Republicans continue to pander to the middle voters, rather than going to where their supporters are?

    If folks ever wonder why Trump has such a following, well this is a perfect example.

      Well at least they planned ahead and the next one will be in Portland, Oregon!


      I kid...but wouldn't be surprised.

        I think the rationale to hold it in a swing state is to energize the republicans in the state and make their case to independents.

          Both the RNC and DNC visited Houston as a possible host site. I'm glad neither picked Houston.

            They are not pandering.

            It is a HUGE financial gain for the place that hosts the RNC.

            Kickbacks are what dictate its location...nothing else comes close.

              They are held in swing States or potential swing states. How does holding it in Florida get my electoral college votes?

                Democrats are holding theirs in Illinois, specifically Chicago. Is that a swing state?

                Republicans held the last one in North Carolina. Much more red then WI.

                  Some of what the RNC does makes no sense.
                  All of what the DNC does makes no sense.
