Earlier this week, Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s campaign announced he would be holding a campaign event in Mobile, AL in the theater the city’s civic center, a venue that holds less than 2,000 people. However, as ticket requests increased, the venue was changed to another room at the same venue, the arena, which holds 10,000 people.
However, late Wednesday, that venue was determined to be insufficient and it was moved to the city’s Ladd-Peebles Stadium, which has a capacity of 40,000 and hosts University of South Alabama football games, the Senior Bowl and the GoDaddy.com bowl.

Nah. I just don’t think it’s going to happen. He has 99% name recognition and 59% UNFAVORABLES associated with his name. That’s a tough row to hoe. Not sure WHERE he’s going to find voters other than far right die-hard Conservatives and a handful of Libertarians. I don’t think he appeals to the feel-good mushy middle at all. I don’t think enough ‘Rats will vote for him, though he is turning African-American heads. A little. Maybe. *SHRUG*
It is what it is. I’m still undecided, though I like Cruz and Walker and am grateful to Trump for making things interesting right out of the chute! :)
But...I will never, EVER vote for Jeb Bush. EVER. And you can take THAT to the bank! :)
See my explanation in Post #21. I’m not against him, per se. I just don’t think the numbers add up in his favor.
That’s just liberal media propaganda
Step out of the matrix
Many thanks!
Going way back to Snarlin Arlen Specter and a judgeship Sessions was nominated for decades ago...
Bush ran away from the sub prime mortgage mess, and later even tried to take credit for the housing “boom”. Going into Iraq wasas a huge mistake. Then he tried to ram amnesty down our throats. He was a rotten POTUS.
Yes
Unfavorables can be swayed as we have seen when those who have actually seen and heard him rather than have only heard and read about him have said.
Haven’t you ever been told so and so is a real jerk, etc only to meet the person and come away with a totally different pov?
Name another candidate filling stadiums besides Trump.
If someone else can win who doesn’t fill stadiums then Trump certainly can win since he is filling stadiums.
Rush talks too much about the “news” which is just what the liberal news media decides is news out of the trillion daily events.
Those “numbers” are from media polls like CNN etc. push polls
both of you stet out of the matrix. the media creates the false reality we live in

We’ll see in the end, I suppose. Just remember, he has surprised everyone so far. Maybe there are more surprises in store. I’m in Wisconsin too, so I know what you’re saying about Trump’s appeal seeming to have peaked. This is a liberal hot house if there ever was one. I’m originally from Texas, been here in WI for the last 10 years, and I’m still shocked sometimes by the attitudes I encounter. If I hadn’t lived in different parts of the country, I might easily think that Trump didn’t have a chance. But I’m not knocking Wisconsin. Its a beautiful state with lots of great folks.
heh
Trump does particularly well in small venues like Derry NH where he could interact with the audience.
It will be interesting to see how he does in a stadium
That said, I'm sure he'll do just fine.
A friend of mine working with his people suggested the helicopter but it’s in NY and they can’t get it down here in time. She thinks he going to do a flyover and wing tip prior to arriving at the Stadium.
And if they start yelling out in the crowd, the crowd will take 'em out.
Hope he has good security.
Pray America is waking
I’m a Trump supporter and agree with him completely about the Iraq War. My “heh” was directed at Levin. There’s all kinds of alliances that go on behind the scenes. I liked your original post. Thanks
