The city is the headquarters of Walmart, which is the world's largest retailer. Originally named Osage after the Osage Indians who hunted in the area when white settlers first moved to the area in 1837, the community was renamed to Bentonville in 1843 in honor of Missouri politician Thomas Hart Benton and was first incorporated on April 3, 1873. It is one of the four main cities in the four-county Northwest Arkansas Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is ranked 109th in terms of population in the United States with 463,204 in 2010 according to the United States Census Bureau. The city itself had a population of 35,301 at the 2010 Census, with an estimated population of 40,167 in 2013.
The second rally today, Saturday, February 27, 2016, is in Millington, TN at the Millington Regional Jetport. The event is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM CST.
Millington is a city in Shelby County, Tennessee, United States. As of the 2010 census, it had a population of 10,176. Millington is the home of the Memphis International Raceway. It was granted the title “Flag City Tennessee” by the Tennessee State Legislature.
The latest is the Trump University. Some ambitious lawyers are going after him, because people who took the course, (and who gave the course high marks at the time), are now suing. Turns out the course has a 98% approval rating.
Then there's Rubio running around thinking he slapped Trump around, and that he was, "wetting in his pants back stage."
And there was Cruz last night on Hannity talking about something Trump did 30 years ago as a businessman, and that he's the only one with the conservative credentials.
I don't think the two cabana boys know what it's like to get a 100 gallon can of @ss whipping, that Trump is fixin' to give them.
Oh, yeah, his taxes. I for one, want him to have taken advantage of every loophole possible. I hope the returns show that he pays only 5% of his income. I want him to abolish the IRS, but unlike Romney, Americans hate to pay taxes to politicians that squander it.
Then there's the slam dunk with Christie, whom is no longer "fatso" or the "tree hugger". Everything is forgivin. Welcome aboard.
"Ok, Nikos, enuf with this. Move over and st*u so we can get to today's triva."

Masterful tactician, isn't he? No wonder he's done so well with everything from wives to skyscrapers. Do you think Marco and Ted will learn from the Christie precedent, Nikos? Give a little and get a lot.
Thank you, Nikos!
Oh, yeah. Huckabee. Arkansas. You might be on to something!
checking in before I start 12+ hour shift at hotel front desk
Thanks for the thread dear nikos. Your work is noted and appreciated by all
I saw some approx numbers for yesterday 10K Ft Worth & 8 K OKC.. are these accurate from Firemarshall.? What percentage of venues were filled?
Im concerned about Texas for us with a reported half million voting before Tuesday.. I see those for Cruz but I am not totally up on this. My FB friends from Texas are adamant Cruz supporters and unfortunately among those who will post any/all lies along the way
Prayers with and for NavyMom... with your medical team, family and of course you.
Back to debate.. I thought Dr. Carson looked amazing. polished and well dressed. He is such an impressive man... and as boring as my governor can be I hope that both of them are offered positions in the Trump administration where there talents can be optimized.
Prayers continue for the Safety of our Donald... too many have too much to lose if he is elected.
will check in and follow when I can.. depending how crazy it is. I am the only one working my job and so can’t slack off along the way
hugs/love from NE Ohio
Hi bert..

Hey Girl...... good to hear from you
How’s Bill?
Hi MM and everyone,
Trump is supposed to be coming up on Fox and Friends.
I will be on @foxandfriends at 8:30 A.M. Will be talking about lightweight Marco Rubio and lying Ted Cruz! @realDonaldTrump 8:08 AM - 27 Feb 2016
Tripwire Alert – The RNC, GOPe, Marco Rubio, Chris Christie and Donald Trump…
Excerpt...the most important part and why Christie’s endorsement is so dangerous to GOP-Establishment!
Remember, Chris Christie was head of the Republican Governors Association. Christie was at the head of the table during the Romney pre-race decision-making in ’11 and into 2012.
Christie attended the secret Colorado Summit post citizens united, which was the basis for the first discussions on how to defeat the electorate after the 2010 mid-terms.
Governor Chris Christie has been at the heart of the RNC/GOPe apparatus, and the well thought of insider, within Bush/Romney world for well over six years. Christie attended and participated in some of the most sensitive discussions about with political party leadership, and the financiers therein, regarding all operational and organizational plans.
That is why his appearance today is so stunning – and also why it was such a closely guarded secret, it had to be.
The RNC/GOPe are now facing the looming probability that Chris Christie was a mole, an insurgent, the entire time.
They have to think about it that way. Sure Christie and Trump were known friends, but the RNC/GOPe are now faced with hindsight filled with worry. While Christie was inside the network, was he more “loyal” to his friend Donald Trump than he was to his role within the apparatus?
Notice today when asked about his endorsement the key phraseology from Christie spoke about loyalty to his friend Donald Trump. The word loyalty is key. This is “code of Omerta” type loyalty. The witnessing audience might not fully grasp the intense significance.
It cannot be overstated how significant the concerns of the RNC/GOPe must be. They must be apoplectic, heck, beyond apoplectic, with a realization that Christie was not who they thought him to be all along. We can be certain the RNC/GOPe phones and emails are still in full meltdown mode.
One of the more consequential realities (what helps prove the thesis) is when you remember how importantly loyalty is viewed by Donald Trump. For the GOPe to now contemplate Chris Christie might have been part of that Trump inner circle all along is almost unfathomable.
Thank you, nikos. I will not be able to see the first rally but will read the comments and watch a replay before the next rally. Have a great day, everyone, and GO TRUMP!
Thanks, nikos.
I may not make the first one (sure hope Huckabee joins the team today) but will be here for the second.
Wondering what that Anonymous group has on The Donald, if anything. I think it will be disgusting what the GOPe throws out there, starting with Romney’s nasty statement.
Asked if the public could expect more endorsements in the days to come. Yes. Many of the people who call him want an extended meeting or dinner. Asked if he thinks the endorsements help. he says yes, emphasized endorsement of evangelicals, e.g., Falwell, Jr. FoxNews asserts the opposite of what Trump said, claiming the endorsement did NOT come out of the blue, then asks Trump to comment on a Rubio clip, "con artist," "clown." Trump says Rubio is desperate, Florida hates him, he couldn't be elected dog-catcher there. That he lies about Trump inheriting 200 million, probably got that from the lying NYT.
Rubio is a bad guy, an insulting guy, a total lightweight.
Next question is libel law remarks. Trump responds that the press has to be fair. NYT is failing. Every article is a hit piece. They KNOW the statements are wrong, and run them anyway.
Next question on taxes, repeating Romney claim that Trump is hiding fraud. Noting that IRS says it is legal to release. Trump says the IRS is unfair, auditing him every year. Says that release before audit is done risks releasing a return that will be amended, and his lawyers tell him not to. He says nobody else has even released financials as thorough as the ones he released. Points to the mess the US is in, financially.
Asked if he could release tax statements from years not under audit, Trumps says all this is inter-related.
Now a question about people hope president Trump can do for the country what he did for his companies. he likes this question - we'll bring back our jobs. Unemployment is actually 25%, figures are fudged for politicians, to make them look better. We have tremendous numbers of part time jobs (Obamacare partly to blame).
Do you use hiring preferences for veterans in your companies? He says he does.
This was really interesting! Here’s the thread on FR on that article:
