53. I think Baltimore or Chicago are next

New York City would be a massive undertaking due to the sheer numbers of residents there, how long-lasting and deep the hatred of Trump is there, plus the local culture that doesn't shy away from bristling and confrontation.

Baltimore would be easier to control for size reasons. And he named them when reeling off the list at the podium.

I also think Chicago is a prime candidate for numerous reasons. They are a historic Democratic stronghold. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has been effective at jabbing Trump and is helping stymie Trump's plans for Texas redistricting. Plus, Chicago is considered the home base of the Obamas. I think for all those reasons, it makes the Windy City a likely choice.
