It won't make a difference, but optics are everything. If the Clintonian sector of the party had their way, the conventions would never be held North of Dallas.

If the Dems hold their convention in San Francisco or Atlanta, that would be the equivalent of the GOP holding it in Moscow.

What about Detroit? I know it's not a very nice place but it might help to rebuild Democratic support there and in the upper midwest. Might make a statement too about reaching out to economically depressed areas

Knowing the Dems, the convention will be held in the OC or Fairfield County, CT, since that is their desired demographic now.

I'm thinking San Francisco could be a strong contender if they bid: they're the furthest left major city in America and would be an ideal location for a resistance themed convention where they are likely to nominate a pretty far left candidate, the major convention centers as well as the downtown are also surrounded by upscale neighborhoods so that the democratic delegates won't have to be near any working class people while they're there

Yep, it would be a who's who of Wall Street lovers as they nominate Kamala Rodham Clinton to depress non-city turnout for Dems.

Atlanta would be the biggest Dem own-goal since Ossoff.

Someone wants the convention to be a Third Way coronation in the glitzy beaches of Miami. Ha.
