Monday, February 29, 2016: GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump will hold a campaign rally at Radford University in Radford, VA. The event is scheduled to begin at 12:00 PM EST.
Radford, VA
Radford (formerly Lovely Mount, Central City, English Ferry and Ingle's Ferry) is an independent city in the U.S. state of Virginia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 16,408.
Radford was named for Dr. John B. Radford. Radford was originally a small village of people that gathered near the New River, which was a major draw to travelers for fresh water and food while traveling west. The town had a major population increase in 1854 when the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad came through. A large depot was placed at Lovely Mount because of its strategic positioning between the eastern and western parts of the state. The actual station was not on Lovely Mountain, located on the southwestern side of town, but Lovely Mount was a known mountain and naming the station this would help people to remember the location of the depot. The Railroad Depot caused the population of Radford to boom. It also caused a major increase in the amount of trade and business in the area. Radford became a railroad town. The original name for Radford was Lovely Mount because of the location of the depot; the name was changed in 1891 to Radford. Radford, or at least the train station area, was called Central Depot because of its central location halfway between Lynchburg and Bristol, Virginia of the original railroad, the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad (later the Norfolk and Western Railway).

Was born in Vermont in 1872, the only U.S. president born on the Fourth of July. When President Harding died suddenly in August of 1923, this president happened to be visiting his father in Vermont. By that time, his father was a notary public, so in the presence of gathered reporters around 2:30 in the morning, he administered the oath of office to his son, after which unexcitably he went back to bed.

#6 — 388 delegates
I’m still trying to figure out what is the total number of potential pledged delegates at stake on Tuesday. Does anyone know?
Looks like the number is 598
Thanks, Nikos! The man’s energy and drive never fails to amaze.
I’m seeing 624 delegates at stake. I don’t know if they are “pledged”.
Trump is gonna need a new plane soon LOL.
Good Morning Nikos and All!
Don Jr and Eric Trump are supposed to be on Fox & Friends this a.m.
I’m still finishing reading the rally thread from yesterday.
Will check back in here a little later.
Go Donald!
Per onyx on yesterday’s rally thread, CSPAN will show the 6 p.m. GA rally
GO TRUMP!!! BEAT THE CLINTON’S!!!
TRUMP SUPPORTERS SEE THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL.
CRUZ SUPPORTERS SEE WATER SPOTS ON THE GLASS. ;-)
Thanks for the thread. I wish it was tomorrow already though! Nah, take that back. Too old to waste a day six feet over instead of six feet under.
Here’s a breakdown of each Super Tuesday state and the dynamics in play:
Looks like a total of 595 with Wyoming’s 29 non pledged.
Alabama primary; 50 delegates
Alaska caucuses; 28 delegates
Arkansas primary; 40 delegates
Georgia primary; 76 delegates
Massachusetts primary; 42 delegates
Minnesota caucuses; 38 delegates
Oklahoma primary; 43 delegates
Tennessee primary; 58 delegates
Texas primary; 155 delegates
Vermont primary; 16 delegates
Virginia primary; 49 delegates
Wyoming convention; 29 delegates
No drama here. Wyoming will send its 29 delegates to the July convention unbound. It holds no presidential preference poll or vote of any kind, a distinction shared by only North Dakota and Guam. If the Republican convention becomes a first-ballot nail-biter, these unbound delegates could help tip the balance.
Thanks for the thread. One more day till primary day in VA.
Head’s up!
Eric and Don Jr coming up on Fox and Friends in about 10 min
Was traveling yesterday and will be on the road until tomorrow.
Caught snippets of last night’s rally in AL—WOW! WOW! WOW!
32,000 people—amazing!
Like the SC primary, tomorrow will be a turning point in American history, both political and otherwise.
In prayer for Trump and his safety—we have a movement, folks.
#5 Calvin Coolidge—Silent Cal
The live YouTube feed of the Alabama rally showed another 27,000 watching online.
