Live Thread:Trump Rally in Charleston, WV @ 7pm EDT

Thursday, May 5, 2016: Live Stream of the Donald Trump for President rally in Charleston, WV at the Charleston Civic Center beginning at 7:00 PM EDT

Charleston is the capital and largest city of the State of West Virginia. It is located at the confluence of the Elk and Kanawha Rivers in Kanawha County. As of the 2013 Census Estimate, it had a population of 50,821, while its metropolitan area had 224,743. It is a center of government, commerce, and industry.

Early industries important to Charleston included salt and the first natural gas well. Later, coal became central to economic prosperity in the city and the surrounding area. Today, trade, utilities, government, medicine, and education play central roles in the city's economy.

He even reiterated this morning on Fox and Friends that he doesn’t need the delegates when asked about getting Rubio’s Louisiana delegates!! I had hoped that this situation would have been cleared up overnight. He ought to scoop up as many delegates as possible by June 7 to have leverage against any sabotage at the convention.

He needs the upcoming Primary Election wins but actually does NOT need Rubio’s delegates. Here is why. There are 448 delegates up to win if we total WV,NB,OR,WA,CA,MT,NJ,NM,AND SD. I believe right now Donald has 1059, so needs to win 178 of the 448. He will easily do that in my opinion due to what polls are telling us. So by
June 8th, Donald will have ALL the delegates he needs to become the nominee on the first ballot at the convention. :)

I meant to add that although Donald does not need Rubio’s delegates, if Rubio wants a job in the Trump administration he would be wise to give Donald a call, come out and endorse Donald and tell his delegates to support Donald. Once Rubio would do that, his delegates are then unbound, and could go to any candidate of their choice. Some probably would follow Rubio’s request, but there may be some who would go to Cruz or Kasich. Who knows.

I was at the Charleston WV rally last night. I wrote some of my impressions and added some photos I took. I hope it's alright to post it and a couple of pictures. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I Went to the Trump Rally in Charleston, WV! May 5, 2016 I'm finally home! Here's some pictures I took at the rally tonight. I really enjoyed it and glad I went. The crowd was very enthusiastic and much younger than I thought it would be. MOSTLY young people, working age, middle class - some with small children - lots with teens (lots of the teens wearing Trump hats, pins, shirts, etc). I did see some older veterans and we sat beside a nice couple from Buckhannon, he was a Vietnam veteran - and oh, he loves Trump! Says Trump is going to help the veterans. A woman I talked to standing in line outside was there with the Friends of Coal group. We were standing by the VIP door and a large number of people associated with the coal industry were going in - many wearing their coal mining hardhats. Lots of people! The arena holds almost 14,000 and it was full. Trump said others were outside. When he came on the stage, he bounded out like a man much younger than 69 years old! He really is a man with a strong presence and he is funny and warm - nothing like the angry caricature you hear so often from people that think he is the worst thing to happen to America since...well, there never has been anything worse than him! We got there about 2pm - and got pretty close to the doors, so we got our choice of seating. We sat right in the middle, up behind the press section. We had a good view, it was a friendly crowd and Donald Trump gave a great speech! He said he was almost sorry the primary was over, he was kind of having fun! :laugh: But he had no trouble lashing out at Crooked Hillary. I know she is not enjoying the thought of having to go to battle against him!

Thank you ALICE. (I love your name, that was my mothers name <3) ...
