1. I hope that Keisha will keep them from coming to Atlanta.

[JHB]

2. Moscow

[SallyHemmings]

6. Siberia

[JHB]

7. That comes after the convention

[duforsure]

8. I agree

And he can spend a lot less money because they'll cost a lot less paying them to attend it, like he does here in this country.

[lagomorph777]

22. That would be my vote

[4139]

3. Jackson is my bet

[Proud liberal 80]

4. Yep

The other day I was in here discussing how major and big cities are all Democratic....Jacksonville is probably the biggest red city there is

[Siwsan]

5. Why doesn't he just issue a tweet? Seems to be his habit for everything else.

Although I do suspect this speech might end up in a meltdown of EPIC proportions.

[essme]

9. Jacksonville

close enough to Mara whateverthenameofthatplaceis-

Enough nuts down there to "fill a stadium" for him. Lots of photo ops.

[lagomorph777]

23. Mor-on-Lardo? Merde-A-Gogo? Mar-A-Gitmo?

Can't quite remember...

[Zorro]

32. Mar-a-Loco

[Iliyah]

10. Scientists and medial experts say . . .

wrong, don't do it - gathering of thousands . . . NO .. ..

Republicans - I am superior . .

[Sgent]

11. Probably not NOLA

no way our governor and mayor are going to give the all clear with no face masks, etc. -- same problem as VA.

[hatrack]

12. How about Philadelphia? Philadelphia, Mississippi, that is . . .

Hey, it was good enough for the Great God Reagan so that he could comfort those poor, oppressed Dixiecrats.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. Atlantic?

As in some barge out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?

I’d actually support that.

[Baclava]

15. Prob meant Atlanta, they already had massive crowd events in the streets, should be used to it

[lagomorph777]

26. The SpaceX barge. Land a rocket on him.

[no_hypocrisy]

14. Forget that. Is ANY insurance carrier going to underwrite an event where massive crowds

are being culled and likely without masks, over three days, during a pandemic?

You don't believe that not a single participant at the Republican Convention won't sue for contracting Covid-19, do you?

[lagomorph777]

27. C'mon, it'll be perfectly safe, as long as they allow everybody to bring guns to protect themselves.

[Vogon_Glory]

16. Bismarck, North Dakota n/t

[maxrandb]

17. I'm thinking the Hague

Would save us a lot in travel costs for the human rights trials.

[bluedigger]

18. Frank's Banquet Hall

[denbot]

20. I LoL'd

[gibraltar72]

19. I vote for the middle of number 5

[hlthe2b]

21. "Atlantic?" did you mean Atlantic City or Atlanta?

[lagomorph777]

28. Atlantis.

i.e. underwater

[tinrobot]

24. Jacksonville if they want to avoid Chicago '68

It's far from blue areas and hard for protesters to get there.

If they want the confrontation, then New Orleans, Atlantic City, Phoenix, maybe a few others.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

31. Only a five hour drive from Miami and Atlanta. An hour from blue Gainesville.

And Jacksonville actually voted for a Democratic Governor and Senator in 2018, so it's not really the safe space Trumpists might think it is.

[spanone]

25. Today our Mayor said Nashville didn't have any money to have it here.

Thank you Mayor

[lagomorph777]

29. What the mayor was probably thinking:

"There's not enough money in the world to persuade us to have it here."

[marmar]

30. I think NOLA has already quashed this idea.

[LiberalFighter]

33. I suggest Pulaski, Tennessee.
