The South is not enough. The GOP must venture into the Midwest to win in 2016.

How about Detroit? Leftist ruination examples abound AND it would be a boost to the local economy.

They need to secure their own base before reaching out to leftists

Lemme see if I understand this.
If the republicans have their convention in Cleveland, the republican candidate will win Ohio in the presidential election.
Bwa-hahaha.

Cleveland is OK. Dallas is OK.
The city isn’t the issue.
The issue is the GOP-E losing the conservative base of the party.

Cleveland's a good idea. With a convention that large, everything else "downtown" will pretty much stop and the city will be totally taken over by the converntion. There's plenty to do. I'd think it will be totally safe....Cleveland's been doing a good job with conventions getting positive accolades.
Besides which, Dallas gets really hot in the summer.

In recent years, Republicans have been adept at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, losing to President Obama in 2012 even though his job-approval rating was below 50 percent, and failing to take back the Senate in 2010 or 2012 despite favorable odds. The Grand Old Party will lose again if it doesn't do something differently. The Dallas area is a conservative stronghold, but the GOP is assured of winning Texas in 2016. In the minds of the voters, the site of the convention won't amount to a hill of beans. It's what goes on at the convention that is important. Had the Tea Party not been totally and completely excluded from the 2012 GOP National Convention, maybe more Tea Partiers would have gone out and voted in the November election.

The South is not enough. The GOP must venture into the Midwest to win in 2016. 2012 Tampa, FL GOP lost the state
2008 Minneapolis, MN GOP lost the state
2004 New York, NY GOP lost the state
2000 Philadelphia, PA GOP lost the state
1996 San Diego, CA GOP lost the state
Having the convention in Cleveland is no guarantee that they'll take Ohio.

There’s talk that Columbus is in the running for the Democrat convention. When was the last time both conventions occurred in the same state?

The Grand Old Party will lose again if it doesn't do something differently.How about nominate a genuine conservative and court disaffected white voters.

These two reporters don’t know what the hell they are talking about! Dallas is a Democrat stronghold; NOT Conservative!
Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Houston are all Dem and sanctuary cities for illegals!
