Thursday, March 3, 2016: GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump will hold a campaign rally in Portland, ME at The Westin Portland Harborview Hotel. The event is scheduled to begin at 1:30 PM EST.
Portland, Maine
Portland is a city in the U.S. state of Maine, set on a peninsula extending into Casco Bay. In 2013, the city proper had a population of 66,318. The Old Port waterfront features working fishing wharves and converted warehouses with restaurants and shops. Nearby, the Western Promenade is a public park atop a bluff, offering river and mountain views. Its surrounding district, the West End, is full of Victorian-era homes, including the Victoria Mansion museum.

We'll have a little Trivia Today later on this thread. In the meantime, let's enjoy a few more views of Portland, ME.
Any Freepers up there?
Thanks for the ping.
Just showing the theatre for tonight. It’s really beautiful - was built in 1920 and was declared a landmark.
Anna said that there was a lottery for tickets to attend - 20 or 21K signed up and only 50 tickets were issued. RNC got 400 - I think they said the rest went to the Michigan Republicans, who as has been stated before, is run by Romney’s niece - convenient, huh?
No vid yet, but I’ll look later and post if I find one.
I used to wonder, back in 2012, why everyone in FReeperville disliked Romney so much.
Now I know.
Here’s the link to Trump’s flip-flopping ad on Romney from yesterday that you mentioned:

Thanks. GO TRUMP!
Thank you.
Thanks for the ping!
Anybody have any insight on how Saturday is going to shake out for Trump? From what I’ve seen, LA looks good and some polling out of Kansas and Kentucky was promising as well. Nothing whatsoever on Maine. Only concern I see is that 3 of the 4 are caucuses which are unpredictable. I would love to see Cruz get beaten soundly in all 4 on Saturday. Time for Trump to start putting this away. I think Milt’s pathetic speech is going to help Trump. I’m sure it will be the first question at the debate tonight.
CPAC started yesterday - here’s a link to the full agenda (you need to click and you’ll get a pdf):
http://cpac.conservative.org/agenda/
Walker spoke this a.m. and a variety of others are on throughout the day.
Kasich, Cruz, Levin, Malkin, Carson, Fiorina and others are speaking tomorrow.
Our man Trump is speaking Saturday 8:30 a.m. Rubio, Beck (if you have the stomach)and others are on later Saturday.
Read a couple of the tweets and one said they were running into a lot of Trump supporters :-)
I’ve been looking for polls, too, but so far haven’t found much. I did see where Rubio pulled out of a scheduled rally in LA (I think it was originally scheduled 2/29 for Friday). I suspect that the Rube will spend a YUGE amount of time in FL - Trump is currently ahead and it would definitely be curtains for Marquito if he lost his home state (he should get a clue now).
Trump has a rally in Orlando on Saturday. He should do a rally at the Villages. Miami Herald endorsed Rubio (guess they kinda had to).
Don’t know much about FL wrt voting (Broward is Lib, as I understand it). With Trump’s plane and his home in Palm Beach, he can go all over the state prior to March 15 - maybe Miami, panhandle, Daytona (would be cool if there was a Nascar race and he attended!).
Oh, and here’s an article about Rubio and CPAC:

Good! I hope they are overwhelmed with Trump supporters!
Thanks!!
Congratulations on second place in our Contest! It was close. Repeal The 17th won out and donated his $50 to FR.
HOw many delegates at stake next Saturday or is it Tuesday?
Trivia. 1? 2. Stephen King. 3. John Ford. 4. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain.
There was also a Deer Isle, Maine native who became famous for his participation in The Civil War. Ken Burns featured him in his series, The Civil War. Can you name him?
I hope someone asks Romney, “Exactly what about the Republican Party is worth saving?”
I can only give anecdotal here in the KCK area. No yards signs that I’ve come across yet, but is early. Of people I’ve talked to, Trump positives are high running roughly 2 to 1. My 80 year old dad,God Love him, a Reagan Dem, has been brainwashed by the media and views Trump as only a hateful person who wants to cause hurt to those poor illegals.
Would you please add me to your list.
Not much of a writer, I enjoy all of the comments and I know some of the names from ATRW.
Thank You.
