I think he's going to go Orlando since he absolutely cannot lose Florida.

Why must they absolutely go to Orlando?  Jacksonville is the largest city in Florida with a Republican mayor and a Republican-dominated city council, and since it looks like they are settling on it as the backup site for their convention, surely that can do just as good a job as Orlando would have done in shoring up Florida for November.

Yeah, Jacksonville makes the most sense. Republican-controlled city and it's in Florida (Trump's "home state" for this election and a pivotal battleground state). Jacksonville is also the most populous city in Florida.

Jacksonville is also the largest city in America to be controlled by Republicans. San Diego has a Republican mayor (Kevin Faulconer) but the San Diego City Council is controlled by Democrats.

I'm also hearing Phoenix is a possibility. If that happens you can cross AZ of the Board.

The 2016 Democratic Convention in Philadelphia says hi. 

And the 2012 Democratic Convention in Charlotte as well.

And the 2012 RNC in Tampa, Florida. The 2008 RNC in St. Paul, Minnesota. The 2004 RNC in New York City. The 2000 RNC in Philadelphia.

I could go on and on lol. Hosting the RNC or DNC in a particular state doesn't guarantee victory in that state.
