President Trump on Thursday floated the idea of having the Republican Party hold a convention just ahead of the 2026 midterms, as Democrats say they’re considering a similar idea.

The democratic party used to hold conventions during or right after midterm cycles decades ago but stopped doing so in the mid-1980s.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Good idea but America's cities are red and won't get safer unless you take into account D.C. More GOP perhaps.

My idea(again). Have it in Honolulu where Trump can plant the seed of the Hawaiian monarchy coming back. Think Queen Tulsi minus 2 senators. 49 stars on the flag.

It would be more of a party atmosphere now that Trump is pedal to the metal. Vegas perhaps but summers are really hot there. Green Bay hosted 400k visitors for the NFL draft. Don’t know where they stayed.

Nice but not enough room for all of us that would want to attend. I’d pay to party. It’s like a Super Bowl where 300k people congregate in the host town just looking for an excuse to spend their money.

Lefties would find a way to blow up the ship. They got the money.
