Parties seemed to be setting there eyes on reliable sites like Kansas City, Missouri for GOP in 2016, not sure of Democrats. So what about the future, say 2020, 2024, 2028 and 2032. Any hunches?

Everybody seems to be in agreement on Kansas City for GOP in 2016, hardly unlikely St. Louis will be a picked for Dems under the circumstances, as holding convention in two different cities but in same state is unusual and highly unlikely. Philadelphia or Minneapolis are more realistic, my money is on Minneapolis. But lets focus on 2020, 2024, 2028, 2032 and 2036 (That's what was my meaning behind next few decades!)

Columbus has to be the Dems pick in '16, Ohio is now considered a battleground state, so it's a no brainer really.

The idea of having both parties holding there nominating convention has merit and is quaint; but not very practical. It's just that as a byproduct of America's deeply polorized politics, the red-blue divide, makes virtually unlikely.  In other words it ain't gonna happen.  The closest to such an event occuring, would be for the Democrats to opt for St. Louis, as Republicans are on the cusp of going for Kansas City also in Missouri. The years that both parties went for the same city, has not been a common practice. It occurred in 1932 (Chicago), 1944 and 1952 (Chicago) again.
