California delegation has a long commute from hotel to Republican National Convention

Share via

California’s delegates will have the longest commute to the GOP convention this week. They’ll have to travel a staggering 60 miles each way to get to the Quicken Loans Arena.

That’s part of a pattern. Delegations from states Donald Trump would be unlikely to win — or ones that are not competitive this fall — got less favorable geographic turf for their hotels, with the exception of the presumptive presidential nominee’s home state of New York.

The assignments were made by the Republican Party, long before it was clear Trump would be the last man standing.

Not to worry, though. California got prime front-and-center seating on the convention floor.
