Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is visiting Springfield at 7 p.m. tonight for a rally at the Prairie Capital Convention Center.
Tickets are free and available to the public. Anyone interested in attending the rally can register for a ticket at www.eventbrite.com.
The Prairie Capital Convention Center can hold approximately 10,000 people. Located in downtown Springfield, the center is just blocks away from the Old State Capitol, where Barack Obama launched his presidential bid in 2007.
Trump's rally in Springfield is sandwiched between his appearance on "Saturday Night Live" and his next GOP debate Tuesday in Milwaukee.
Springfield attorney Kent Gray has been named director of the businessman and TV personality's Illinois state campaign.

Illinois has its primary on March 15th next year, the same day as the winner take all Florida primary that was rigged for Jeb but now might be Marco’s. Trump has been leading there in the polls for now.
Illinois Republican convention delegates run in a separate election than the candidates. Unlike the uber rigged Pennsylvania system where all delegate candidates in the separate election have to be called ‘uncommited’, in Illinois the candidates for delegate will have the presidential candidate they support listed with them.
If you vote in the Illinois Republican Primary on March 15th, you have to do more than vote for the candidates themselves to make your votes count. You have to find the delegate candidates who support your presidential candidate and vote for them, too.

This is a very good sign: Don’t listen to what they say, watch where they go. Trump must be getting very good vibes from the early primary states to veer off to Illinois.

I posted earlier that it held 7,700 people. I did have a link, but if it’s 10,000, that’s great.
It is sold out. Amazing what a second place guy can do when compared to those massive rallies for the guy in the lead.

I think he could fill up 20 to 40 thousand seat arenas on a regular basis if he wanted to.
It’s such a hoot to pretend that he’s doing very little better than Carson.
I think Carson is afraid to do an actual campaign appearance.

Will it be broadcast someplace—C-Span? OANN? I would love to hear what Trump has to say.

Look, Donald Trump went on Saturday Night Live, so he’s obviously unfit to be President.

I think Carson is afraid to do an actual campaign appearance. It's the very reason that the Media don't like giving Trump a wide tv shot of his rallies. They like illusions when reality does not fit what they're looking for. They know who is going to take it in the end. Most of the confidence is on Trump's side the rest of the candidates don't have it. They all see what's going on. :-)
Oh yeah, only 82 days left until the Iowa Caucus. Tic toc.
