Pittsburgh, PA
Wednesday, April 13, 2016: LIVE Stream of the Donald Trump for President Rally in Pittsburgh, PA at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center beginning at 7:00 PM EDT.
Pittsburgh is a city in western Pennsylvania at the junction of 3 rivers. Its Gilded Age sites, including the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, the Carnegie Museum of Art and the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, speak to its history as an early-20th-century industrial capital. In the North Shore neighborhood are the modern Andy Warhol Museum, Heinz Field football stadium and PNC Park baseball stadium. Population: 305,841
Donovan Lawrence Convention Hall
WEll, Poodle, every dog has his day. I guess this wasn’t one of mine. I didn’t see the second rally. I’ll find someway to post it.
“I want to thank yinz for coming out”
“We’re going to make America great again n’at”
“Ted Cruz is a jagoff”
(Nikos if you know peeps who travel w/Trump) somebody get him a Terrible Towel. It’s like our yinzer “secret handshake.”
HEY, MR. TRUMP, HOW ABOUT FLYING IN MIKE DITKA, AND SOME OF THE HALL OF FAMERS FROM ALL SPORTS TO BE ON STAGE WITH YOU?
I think Rose will be there - somebody call Rose and mention these valuable tips to her.
I love traveling to Pittsburgh. Reminds me of my hometown St. Louis but Pittsburgh has a much nicer downtown, more scenic and its interesting to drive the streets.
Consol would be an excellent venue (maybe next week after NY primary?) a great opening to talk about Obama/Hillary killing the US coal industry. Also, he should plan one for Arnold Palmer Airport in Latrobe (again, energy, jobs, fracking ). The airport in Latrobe CAN accommodate a 757.
Maybe the campaign will hire us on as consultants. :)
(And Cruz is still a jag off).
It is interesting cause 3 lefts don’t usually come anywhere near to making a right!
It's a decent school - when I was an undergrad, we had a pro-US rally during Viet Nam.
Salt of the earth type students.
I could be wrong - things may have changed a lot.
Hail to Pitt!
Rose is buds w/Sean Hannity...fingers crossed Hannity gets Rose an interview w/Trump.
My youngest is a college freshman. He has friends who go to Pitt Main, and on Facebook last night it was NOT JOKINGLY mentioned that “safe spaces” would be available for students who feel threatened. I can’t confirm it, but my kid was laughing it up. He goes to a PSU branch campus.
Speaking of Hannity, I was looking on his site to see if I could find any info about the Town Hall with Trump tonight (didn’t find it yet, but he did mention he was doing one with Trump tonight - not sure if it will be pre-recorded in NY or will be in Pittsburgh).
Anyway, I missed Hannity last night and noticed on his site that Paul Manafort had been on. Here’s a link to the video in case anyone else missed it.
Ditka, meh...Conservative (ran for office and was disserted by PA GOP) NFL Hall of Famer, Lynn Swann would be great doing the intro (and maybe he’ll bring the Terrible Towel).
And for the record NHL Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux will be at his Pens playoff game. I wonder if he supports his fellow Canadian?
(PaMom sends herself to her room after than one)!
Yinz all have a good day!
My breakfast this morning: diced jalapeno Spam, diced potatoes, onions fried until perfect, pour over beaten egg and let set, sprinkle with extra sharp cheddar. Cuppa Nespresso. I’m good to plant potatoes ‘til noon.
Egg muffin. It’s like an omelet only in a muffin pan.
Thanks for the link...ill watch it later on. The Town Hall will be at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial and will be taped and replayed on Sean Hannity’s show tonight.
It’s a crisp, sunny Spring day here:)
Bacon, bacon, bacon!!!
Oh boy! That sounds great.
Agreed. Mrs. Fury is from the Pittsburgh area. She said places like Arnold have not fared well, but the city itself and several of the surrounding areas have done well.
Monroeville seems like a problem area, especially around the mall.

Did you take that? :D
My morning thought as posted on another thread
In the bigger picture Trump walked on this deal. If he had stayed and gotten any delegates it would have been acceptance of the system. By walking and forfeiting the delegates he can bring attention to the no representation and lack of voting by we the people. The disenfranchisement of the American voter
Trump has again defined an issue and claimed it!
The party working of both parties is now in question He is successfully tying in Bern’s lack of delegates which will draw many of his supporters, when they too are disenfranchised by the super delegates to the Trump cause
He is going to win in a landslide in the fall We The People have had enough of corrupt party practices
My ancestral home is a three story log cabin in Indiana county. Have been Thru Pittsburg only !
