I almost want to blame this on
Virgina’s sycophantic govenor.

Trump selects rally locations for strategic purposes....based on political stats.

[taildragger]

I know Liz, but filling 104,000 seats is fire for effect and would make them Dems reach for the kaopectate. The Scadenfruede would be magnificent. A great deal of MI, OH & possibly IN might show, it is not that far of a drive. KY and IL too. Especially w/ our Liberal Gov, Talib, Stabusnow & Peters, what a platform to intro John James.

I can dream can't I?

So, let’s say they move it to the Meadowlands?

"Don’t need the president to win NJ. Just need this kind of enthusiasm to carry him in competitive states and we win."

Exactly, Trump lost NJ by 14 pts in 2016, so if he cuts that to say 8 pts that means he can swing some of the states that he lost by a small amount, like MN and NH. And win more House seats across the country as well.

The Meadowlands Sports Complex, Rutherford, NJ, 30 minutes from NY City would be ideal. 👍

Thanks for the Li’l Abner? memories. I haven’t see that cartoon for decades.

[frank ballenger]

Does anybody know the reason why for all this time they’ve said “Huge rally for Trump had people in line a day early, some in their own tents” and “ X venue holds 10,000 but around 55,000 wanted to get in.”

Why? Would the Rolling Stones or Taylor Swift book for a modest former movie theater instead the nearest basketball arena? Why?

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

It is great fun especially when their great sense of humor such as yours comes out!!!

Sounds good to me--a fellow sufferer in the formerly great state of Michigan. I share your dream.

[firebrand]

This is made-to-order propaganda for switching to the GOP.

People love this kind of story. Trump wants to help other Dems all over the country to see the light, so he is riding on this great opportunity and using the media uproar, and also of course helping this new New Jersey partner who will in turn help keep America great.

[Incorrigible]

So, let’s say they move it to the Meadowlands?

Yes! Yes!

[Paddyboy]

I live in Cape May,about 5 miles from Wildwood and down here they’re saying to show up at around 8AM if you want to get in

[b4me]

I know quite a few in north jersey that are NOT dec, but i do no why you think it’s all dem up there.

[davidb56]

security has to scam/frist everyone that enters the stadium. Thats why they have small stadiums of under 20-25000, or about 4 times a Rat could ever dream of drawing.

[gunsequalfreedom]

Love it!

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Why would the Trump campaign spend any money on NJ if the state wasn’t in play?

Every state is in play.

All Trump has to do is exceed the last National Popular Vote by 3 million.

If he does that, he will automatically get the Electoral Votes of CA, WA, OR, CO, IL, and a dozen or so other "blue" srates whose idiotic legislatures voted to assign their state's EVs to the winner of the popular vote.

Trump may very likely sweep ALL the EVs in the nation.

EVERY VOTE COUNTS THIS TIME!

[SamAdams76]

NJ is a lock for the Democrats this year.

Yeah, yeah. That's what you know-it-all pundits told us in 2016 about PA, MI, and WI. No way could Trump win there, we were told. Why those states are a lock for Hillary. Fools gold! Trump best leave those states to Hillary focus on states like Florida and Ohio so he at least doesn't have to lose in a landslide.

Jeff Van Drew flipped parties from (D) to (R) over impeachment. This is his district, Trump is doing it as a thank you.
