For the third year in a row President Donald Trump is shunning the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner for a campaign rally, his first since the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The president will rally with supporters in Green Bay, Wisconsin, for what his re-election campaign says is his 18th rally overall in the state since he announced his first presidential bid in June 2015.
Trump's victory in Wisconsin in 2016 marked the first time a Republican presidential candidate won the state since the mid-1980s, and will be hotly contested in 2020 as Democrats aim to re-build the so-called "blue wall" of Midwestern states that helped propel the likes of Barack Obama and Bill Clinton to victory in their presidential bids.
“President Trump looks forward to sharing the successes of his administration with the great people of Wisconsin,” Michael Glassner, the chief operating officer of Trump's re-election campaign wrote in a statement released earlier this month announcing the rally. “Under President Trump’s leadership, paychecks are now growing twice as fast for those in the bottom half of the income spectrum. Unemployment has hit generational lows, and the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement will open Canadian dairy markets to farmers all across Wisconsin."
However, 2018 was a banner year for Democrats in Wisconsin, when the party swept all statewide elections and unseated Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who was seeking a third term in office but was defeated by Democrat Tony Evers.
In response to Trump's visit, Wisconsin Democrats plan to hold a "Rally for the People" Saturday morning led by the state's 32-year-old African-American Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes.

I’ll try to post updates, crowd size, etc. though the Enemy Media in Wisconsin probably won’t cover this the way it deserves. :(
Feel free to add to this if you find good links/pictures!
Looking forward to your reports. What time is it scheduled to start?
Thanks Diana in Wisconsin.
Should be a great rally. Victory tour and maybe he’ll provide more detail on declassification of swamp demons.
Timing is everything.

A much better use of his time.
I hope some from the UP in Michigan can attend.
You guys have a snowstorm in your area today I believe. Do you think that will affect the turnout?
Yes pls post info & pictures. And if you can a good sampling.
TIA
“The doors to the Resch Center will open at 4 p.m. Saturday for the president’s campaign stop; the rally is expected to start at 7 p.m.”
It’s not as bad as they were predicting, though the snow is going to be dragging out until 10pm, tonight.
Snow is all over the grass and trees, but isn’t sticking to the roads and sidewalks. Shouldn’t be a problem for those traveling from the south of ‘Sconny, up to Green Bay - where it may rain a bit, but no snow is predicted!
MAGA! :)
YouTube link for the rally. Looks like coverage is starting at 2pm. Not sure what they’re going to show us as he’s not going to speak until 8pm. *SHRUG*

My Satellite Internet is SO SLOW out here in The Boondocks; it’s no fun to watch it (NOT) stream. :(
I can watch it after it’s all done, though! :)
Bump for later viewing the
White House Correspondents dinner tonight....boring...no one will be watching. Trumpie rules the TV waves tonight...tens of thousands of loyal Trump supporters will attend anf oiver fill the arena (10,500 people capacity) and millions of Trump supporters will be tuning in on TV...FNC, C-Span, RSBN, OAN, & many live feeds.
WHCD will be a total bust, the self-inflicted wound of the Democrat Fake News Media to themselves has actually done then in. Of course, they are too dumb to know that. But...that is OK!!! They are all Burnt toast and Losers...period!!! Go Trumpie!!!
Go MEGA/MAGA, Go POTUS, Donald J. Trump, the American people of all stripes & colors, luv ya, Boss Man Trump!!! Four more years!!!
An internet search for this came up empty. Using only the title "Rally for the People" led to the name of a political party in Senegal. What happened to Barnes' rally?
I am looking forward to watching the rally.
JoMa
Best President Evah!
Nobody at the Communists Dinner
Myself and the fam would be there, but unfortunatly work calls both me and Mrs. Bo.
I hope they all get severe indigestion!
Bon appetit !

I’m looking - so far not seeing a thing in Wisconsin media covering it. Maybe it was cancelled due to snow? If so, they’re not very hearty souls, LOL!
