KALAMAZOO, MI — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, a 2016 Republican presidential candidate from Texas, will speak at a rally in Kalamazoo.
Cruz will visit Wings Event Center, 3600 Vanrick Drive, on Monday, Oct. 5. The doors for the rally open at 8:30, with the program beginning at 9 a.m. Cruz will speak at 9:30 a.m., according to a media advisory.
Cruz was in Michigan two weeks ago, speaking at the Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference.
“On August 27, 1856, Illinois politician Abraham Lincoln spoke at a rally in Bronson Park, promoting the presidential candidacy of John C. Fremont, who was running on the ticket of the new Republican Party. It was Lincoln’s only public speech during his only visit to Michigan.” (Wikipedia)
Sounds like Cruz will be in good company.
Great tune:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFv_PoZ2iP0
“Liberal baby sis.” I concur to that. West Mi has a strong conservative base though.
They are cannibalistic and that's why so few are left.
One of the stories about Lincoln’s visit is that he coined the term “Michigander” He was slapping Michigan governor Lewis Cass for riding the coattails of Andrew Jackson like a tick on a gander’s ass.
Yeah I don’t doubt that there will be plenty of conservatives coming in from Grand Rapids and the surrounding area.
I knew there was a reason for me to read FR today; thank you. (OK, there are a hundred reasons every day, but this one taught be something more about Honest Abe, as opposed to Shinzo Abe.)
Awwww he just missed the Grape Festival in Paw Paw .........:o)

Like Kokomo (IN), Cucamonga (CA), Pocatello (ID) and Walla Walla (WA),
