5. In a Motel 6 in Arizona
One of the few states where the GOP runs everything and where moderate Republicans are as rare as Passenger Pigeons and Dodo Birds.

32. Do phone booths still exist?
For that matter, does the Republican Party still exist?

Perfect! The non-existent Republican Party holds convention in a non-existent phone booth!

18. My hometown of Clearwater, Kansas
Population < 2000, has a nice park with two large shelters that should be able to house them all. If the parking lot, which should easily hold 30 cars isn't enough, the Methodist church next to it will probably let them park there for a few hours.

38. Hinckley, Ohio. On March 15.
That's the date of the yearly return of the buzzards (turkey vultures) to Hinckley, and will pick clean the decaying corpses of elephants littering the hillsides.


Very economical, recycling, and all that.
