GOP Convention: A Funeral

This from Politico Monday.

"Nobody likes a funeral,” said a Senate Republican press secretary who spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing “the overall climate of general malaise about the party” as the reason for hesitance [sic] on the part of Republicans.

Basically, the party of the heartland hates the heartland, and prefer cities like New York, D.C., and Philly to host their shindigs. They'd rather avoid the flyover states like Minnesota, I guess.
