If I lived nearby, I would be at that rally.

Lewandowski told me the Trump campaign has received 4,000 RSVPs for tonight's event. The theater in which it will be held holds 776 people, so the campaign is working to set up giant screens for an overflow viewing area outside. (Forecast temperature: 28 degrees, fairly balmy for Des Moines these days.) In addition, Lewandowski said 360 members of the media have been credentialed to cover the event.

Just like in playing cards, I strive not to be trumped.

Somebody actually stands up for what he thinks. All this stupid “expert” and political punditry can take a flying leap as far as I’m concerned. It’s stuff like this that endear Trump to the average Joe who’s sick of the political and media establishment. This is why Trump will get elected.

48 hours notice and already 4000 attendees

This thread should be pinned to every other thread like the freepathon notices.

The GOPe and Fox News are partners.

1985: Donald Trump Donates $1 Million to NYC Vietnam Vets

Helping Vets is a long time tradition for Donald Trump.

Don’t know if boycotting the debate was a good or bad move, but if he backs out of the Veterans event now it would be disastrous for him.

Last evening I was listening to one talkshow host who said several times that his staff had tried to contact the RNC to ask a couple of questions:

Does the RNC get any money from the networks that hold these debates?

If so, how much?

==

Surely the RNC does get money from the networks.

So, sure, it is in their interest, too, for Trump to show up. If FoxNews loses ad revenues, that could impact the amount that the RNC gets.

Trump = $$$$

CNN is going to be laughing all the way to the bank.

Ironically, yesterday morning CNN was all over Trump and supporting poor widdle Megyn and FoxNews. Later in the day, as CNN got rights to broadcast the Trump Vets Rally, CNN’s coverage became pro-Trump.

Go figure!

All these pinheads claiming Trump will ditch his obligation to the veterans rally to go back to the liberal dog-n-pony show Fox is putting on are dumber than dirt.

Trump hasn't been part of the eGOP "scene" in DC and those that have spent their entire lives climbing the social ladder in the eGOP are scared they won't retain their positions if Trump wins. Period. THAT is why they oppose Trump.
