OMAHA, Neb. -- Democratic presidential nominee nomination Hillary Clinton is scheduled to make a campaign stop in Omaha Monday afternoon.
The event will be held in the gymnasium of Omaha North High School near North 36th Street and Ames Avenue from 4:30-6 p.m. Doors open at 2:45 p.m. The gym holds 500 people and they'll have overflow seating for 500 more in Viking Hall, a cafeteria area.
Tickets are available through her campaign website, which indicates Mrs. Clinton will discuss her commitment to building an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top.
Patty Zieg, Democratic National Committeewoman says Clinton chose Omaha for a reason. "They are intending to try to recreate the blue dot phenomenon from 2008."
Even though Nebraska is traditionally a "red state," Zieg does not foresee any issues with this campaign stop. "In presidential campaigns there are people who feel strongly, so there may be, there could be, some Trump supporters demonstrating outdoors and that is great, that is what democracy is about."

Clinton is trying to win Nebraska’s 2nd congressional district which is more tossup like than the other congressional districts in Nebraska.
500 people? That’s all? Trump turns away hundreds more from his events!
A rich white woman telling poor people they are poor because of rich white people.
A 1000 people? Wow that is how many are in the overflow at Trump events.
Hillary won’t win Nebraska.
The Cornhusker State isn’t even a tossup.
Winner of the thread post!
What is she doing for the rest of the week?
The state allocates its electoral votes and the Omaha district traditionally allocates its one Electoral College vote for a democrat.
“Duuuuuuuuuuuuur Trump shouldn’t go to (insert blue state here) because that’s a waste of money, blah, blah, blah.”
But Hillary can go to Nebraska just dandy, huh?
Bring a pillow, you might have to wait for her.
Hillary Clinton due in Omaha Monday...maybe.
Can’t wait to hear how many actually show up! And it is Monday...people do work!!
What is she doing for the rest of the week?
You beat me to it. She’s already cancelled at least one event.
I’m always curious about these stops in school gymnasiums...during the middle of the summer. Does the campaign rent the venue? Does the fee adequately cover the cost to cool the gym, etc. Or does she use these schools for free, as a ‘donation’ from the local school district?
I see Clinton is still following her “strategy” of holding small events, instead of huge rallies.
Hmmm...I wonder if this *crowd* will be more paid actors....and, if they’ll all be holding up the same smart phones to *film* Her Highness? Keep us posted :)
“What is she doing for the rest of the week?”
Probably just sobering up....over and over.
This is a key to watch.
If Hillary gets another 100 person show, it may indicate she has lost much of the Midwest.
