Restless night I had due to what I think is sciatica. Ouch.
This rally tonight should give us an idea of how Trump oompares to Hillary Clinton as she was in the state a few days ago.
Morning in America. Again.
Good morning, Nikos!
That is an impressive civic center.
Trump will pack the house and then some.
The coal mining situation in WV is dire, and the folks know the Dems have shafted them.
I believe WV will be big for Trump.
Like he said the other night—he will get those coal miners back to work.
In a prior lifetime, I spent a year driving from Dayton, OH every week to Charleston for business consulting. I knew every bump in the road.
At that time, many chemical companies were based there and their manufacturing exhausts caused paint to peel from the bridges.
That said, the people were absolutely wonderful and the hills & mountain scenery were splendid.
IIRC, the Charleston airport is tricky to land due to being located in the hills/mountains - like hitting a small spot in a forest without much room outside the landing strip.
Looks like the seating capacity is 13,500 when configured as shown in your picture, Nikos.
That’s yuuuuge for WV!

And tonite he walks onto the stage without the baggage of Cruz & Kasich to deal with.
The cheering should be epic.
Good morning nikos and all!. Thanks for the thread.
I’m really looking forward to seeing Trump tonight. It does feel different this morning nikos. Like a new phase, which it actually is.
I pray for Trump, as many of us do.
Go TRUMP!!
That WV venue looks huge. I'm sure Trump fills every seat. From this point on, Trump should be filling stadiums and arenas.
For later
Restless night I had due to what I think is sciatica. Ouch.
It’s very classy that Trump is going through the scheduled rallies. Those events can’t be cheap to fund.
It will be interesting to see if the crowds at his rallies are smaller now that the primary season has pretty much ended with the withdrawal of Cruz and Kasich, or whether they are bigger because this essentially marks the beginning of the general election campaign against Clinton.
I did some research yesterday, and found that Trump over-performed his Real Clear Politics average for the last 7 primaries starting with NY and ending with IN by 9 percentage points. In Indiana his RCP average was 42.8 percent, and he won it by 54.7, over-performing by 11.9 percentage points. Cruz over-performed his RCP average by 5, and Kasich under-performed by 7. So, it looks as if Trump picked up some from Kasich, expanded his lead among republicans, and even picked up some independents and democrats.
Prior to the NY primary, Trump was over-performing by about 4 percentage points, but did under-perform by about 2 points in a couple of races, including VA and NC.
He even over-performed his RCP average in Wisconsin by .6 percent.
So, there is a definite upsurge after WI. If this over-performance in the republican primaries carries over into the polls of the head to head match-ups between Clinton and Trump, he could actually be within the margin of error or even beating her at this point. Either way, with 6 months to go during which he will unload his heavy artillery on the slow moving, lumbering target named Hillary, there is plenty of time for him to make up any deficits he may have.
The transcript is not up yet, so either suffer through Video of Megyn Kelly May 4 Interview of Manafort, or wait! 7 minutes.
I would suggest that the Democrat Party consider dumping Hillary Clinton as their “most likely” POTUS candidate & then informing POTUS, Barack Hussein (Lame Duck POTUS) Obama, that he is to stay out of this POTUS campaign....uttering not one word, at all!!!
Coal Miners, Steel workers, Oil & Gas field workers, Auto workers, the USA Military folks in total, These two politicans could care not “one hoot” about all of you. They do not care one iota for you or your entire families. End of story!!! And...African-Americans are worse off they they ever have been because of the non-actions of Obama, Clinton, the democrat party, the CBC & the NAACP. Wise up, black american...you have been, both used & abused.....by those who deceive you at every turn!!! SAD!!! You African-Americans think Donald J. Trump is your worst enemy....WRONG....he is your only true firend & supporter for you ‘”real” path to equality, freedom, good education & meaniful economic opportunites.
When Donald J. Trump rallies this evening in West Virginia...you great. good folks in in WV, need to turn out in the thousands to cheer DJT. “The Donald” is with you great gals & guys...all the way!!! Clinton & Obama left our citizens behind to be slaughtered, while they never lifted a finger to protect and save them!!! in Benghazi & Libya....while Clinton slept & Obama took off for California to raise more cash for his evil ways of destroying, our once great nation!!! Folks.....fact of life is; both the Repubican & Democrat Establishment political parties need to be politically destroyed this coming November at the ballot box. Your “useless” Senator, Joe Manchin, protects and defends none of you, but does the bidding of your job destroyers, Hillary Clinton & Barack Hussein Obama!!! Dump Clinton & shut up, “Lame Duck” Obama!!! They are both poison for you and your beloved families!!!

Poor Heidi has taken alot of shots during this campaign.
Should also give us an inkling of where Trump will begin attacking Hillary’s weaknesses......
My husband and I are headed to the Trump rally tonight! I’ll try to update when I can.
Good morning, nikos and FRiends, one day without a rally feels like an eternity...I hope people will not become complacent and stay home instead of filling these places and support Trump...we need to show the liberals that we enthusiastically are with our candidate till the finishing line. See you this afternoon. Thanks to all your great contributions, I have learned a lot these past months!!! GO TRUMP!
