To me, it was good news from the RNC: the 2016 GOP convention is slated for Cleveland. For those of us on the East Coast, it's a city within driving distance and in my case I would have a ready-made place to stay because part of my family lives there. The "mistake on the lake" could achieve the daily double as well, since the Democrats also have their eye on Cleveland for their convention - if so, it will be the first time in 44 years both parties have held their convention in the same city, with Miami being the site of both 1972 conventions. Cleveland last hosted a national convention in 1936, when Republicans picked Alf Landon to face Franklin Roosevelt. (They also hosted the 1924 GOP convention, which nominated President Calvin Coolidge for a full term.)
