Wednesday, February 3, 2016: GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump will hold a campaign rally in Little Rock, AR at Barton Coliseum at 5:00 PM CST.
Little Rock is the capital and the most populous city of the U.S. state of Arkansas. It is also the county seat of Pulaski County. It was incorporated on November 7, 1831 on the south bank of the Arkansas River very near the geographic center of the state. The city derives its name from a rock formation along the river, named "La Petite Roche" by the French in 1799. The capital of the Arkansas Territory was moved to Little Rock from Arkansas Post in 1821. The city's population was 193,524 at the 2010 census.

Since you’re a seasoned Dodger fan, you may like this story...
When I was 12 growing up in Dayton, OH, I was selected as one of the best Little League players in the city - even better than the catcher on my team who was not chosen by the city. My batting average was above .800 and I had big dreams of becoming a MLB star.
Three years later, a very cute little blue-eyed blonde moved-in literally next door and cars & baseball became secondary. We eventually married although at 28 she lost a battle to breast cancer.
And that catcher on my LL team? His name was Steve Yeager and he became the starting catcher for the Dodgers.
Funny how life has its twists & turns...
Huck said no on FNC yesterday. Huck is not even in Ark. today.
HM, you’ll be in my daily prayers...trust God and He will give you strength.
Prayers up.
All my prayers for you, hoosiermama..
Thanks for the ping!
Barton coliseum only holds 7150 people, according to wiki. If the event gets changed to the Verizon Arena, that holds about 18,000 people in North Little Rock. They are right to be cautious. Empty seats would be the first time in history the cameras panned the crowd so they could use it against him on the news media later
I think Trump will be back in Little Rock again on March 3.
Barton coliseum has just over 7000 seats.
You’re absolutely right. At one of his speeches recently Trump pointed out that a block of seats was empty because of structural concerns if they put people there. He said the media would probably just show the empty block of seats.
Good morning!
Thanks for starting this thread.
Love these threads, but I don’t think Barton Coliseum is nearly that big. It isn’t where the Razorbacks play football either. It’s an older place, and it only holds around 7,000.
Gas in LaGrange, GA hit below $1.70 today. No new terrorist attacks here or abroad. Things are relatively quiet. The republicans continue to fund Obamacare and do things so the American people are not feeling the pain of it.
In short, these are the times when we get complacent, and we elect the wrong people.
I don’t want anyone to get hurt or our national monuments to
be blown up, but when bad things happen, it wakes us up for the need to elect someone like Donald Trump.
I will pray hard. I’m a doctor, you know. We have one of the best hospitals here in the country. Please mail me if you have any need.
I’m seeing a ton of flu-like symptoms lately in people who have had flu shots. You can still get the flu even with the vaccine, but if you don’t start treatment within 36 to 48hrs, the medicine is not effective so you ride it out.
What I’m talking about is not the flu.
A pharmacist friend told me about Boiron Oscillococcinum, so I recommended it to some of my nurses or their kids who presented with low grade temp, sore throat, cough, body aches for more than 3 days. They took it with Mucinex and the symptoms went away quickly.
REAlly? I THOUGHT it’s where the ARkansas Football team plays at?
A lot of people are wanting this.
If he stops hitting Cruz from the left, Cruz would probably lay off and go back to attacking Trump only on generalities, e.g. Trump is too unstable to be Commander in Chief.
What worked for Cruz was attacking Trump on specifics.
Trump does great venues and he himself is doing great, but his people need some better ads and a better ground game.
