Backed someone else during the Republican primary? Your state may be paying for it at the conventions.

The seating chart for the 2016 convention is out and it looks like states that voted for Republican candidates other than Donald Trump are toward the back or side.

Many of the states that backed Ted Cruz —Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Idaho, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming — are away from the front.

Ohio, which voted for its own governor, John Kasich, but is also a host of the event, is on the side of the stage. Kasich is not scheduled to address the convention.

You would think that Trump might try to mend fences in States that he lost, but Trump is just too much of a vindictive SOB.

1. Honestly

let's just call it ConventionGate.

If Christie were with him as a VP nominee the damn bridges in their states would have problems.

[TeamPooka]

2. Trump's enemies list must be HUUUUGE! nt

[Skittles]

24. it's YUUUUUUUGE

GET WITH THE PROGRAM, TEAMPOOKA

3. Well if he did it to be vindictive then he is among the right crowd considering how the

Republicans showed their true faces of vindictiveness over losing the Presidency to a black man.

[maddiemom]

10. But how can they top the PURPLE BANDAIDS in 2004?

Talk about a classy idea.

[Ruby the Liberal]

4. OMG - How elementary school is this going to get?

[cstanleytech]

5. Hey, no need to malign grade schooler's.

Besides the GOP still has not graduated out of pre-school.

[SheilaT]

6. In all honesty, how is it that the state delegations are usually

awarded their locations at the conventions?

[WhoWoodaKnew]

18. I want to know too

[LiberalFighter]

22. Home state of candidate... past performance... swing states

[2naSalit]

7. Well...

It's not like the actual real Republicans are going to show up at this hatefest on the lakeshore. Only the truly uber-deranged losers are going to be there. Maybe we should evacuate the city except for those who really want to attend and then quarantine them until December.

It'll be an event like

[LynneSin]

8. I'm sure those delegates are grateful for being close to the exit doors

Just saying

[LiberalFighter]

23. My thoughts.

Especially on the last day. Make it easier for them to get back home when flying.

[Crash2Parties]

9. That's for the cameras - don't zoom out and it looks like a yuuuge happy crowd.

[King_Klonopin]

11. Does that mean they have to sit in the front rows ? nt

[BaronChocula]

12. So Trump delegates from Texas get bad seats while Cruz delegates

from Florida get good seats. It makes no sense. What an idiot.

[Jnclr89]

13. Good news!

[bearssoapbox]

14. If he keeps this up the only ones sitting in the front will be family.

And of course...

[rawhideal]

15. Real good seats.

Alabama should have good seats.........

[bluedigger]

16. It makes some sense.

Pushing the dissenters to the sides and back leaves his strongest support front and center for the media. It's all about staging and optics, not reconciliation.

[OnDoutside]

17. And any crowd microphones will be near the stage.

[Historic NY]

19. Vengeance....a need to punish those that slight you....

20. This is traditional.

Happens every 4 years in both parties. It will happen at the Democratic Convention also. Someone has to have the bad seats.

[whistler162]

21. So they will be close to the stage

and near a working speaker!

[dembotoz]

25. Nothing new. It's politics
