Former President Donald Trump is holding a rally in Texas two days before early voting starts for the November election.
The rally will be Saturday in Robstown, outside Corpus Christi on the Gulf Coast. Republicans are targeting districts in the area as they try to take over South Texas’ congressional seats.
The rally will start at 7 p.m. at the Richard M. Borchard Regional Fairgrounds, according to a media advisory. It said speakers in addition to Trump would be announced later.
I don’t know why they picked Robstown. It is in the middle of a stretch of highway that is 80 miles from anywhere else that has some population like Corpus or the Rio Grande Valley. If he draws a big crowd from those two places it will mean there are a lot of hidden MAGA Trumpers willing to drive to see him. But I’d say this is a risky play.
President Trump is the hardest working man in politics.
Dementia Joe?
Too busy sleeping in his basement most of the time.
Decent spot to bring in people from the valley, victoria, san antonio and cc. Easiest feature for Trump is going to the fairground and airport.
We had 2 five mile or longer Trump Trains in Corpus Christi. Lots of supporters here (I live 26 miles north). Solid red.
Also Robstown is 8 miles north of Corpus Christi, population over 300,000. The fairgrounds are the best place around Corpus Christi to put a crowd IMHO.
A town that in 2016 claimed only 11,000+ citizens.
Stands to reason a wide open, less populated area surrounds.
The Trump Train must know where they’re going with this.
MAGA or die trying! Ready to rumble.
And the Corpus Christi local daily pamphlet, AKA the Caller - Times will not print one word regarding this rally.
I was raised in that area. I doubt much has changed except loss of population in Robstown. There didn’t use to be even one service station between Robstown and the Valley. I don’t think an EV could make the round trip, eh?
Robstown is straight west of Corpus
My dad lives off SPID and Staples in Corpus, he told me they were going.
America is the only banana republic where they vote three weeks early and it still takes them two months after the election to figure out the ballot counts and another month to figure out who won. Too many kids got through grade school without ever taking any math.
I’m from Corpus Christi. Robstown is only 20 minutes away from most of Corpus Christi. We would drive from south of town to eat at Joe Cotton’s BBQ in Robstown on Sundays.
Total insanity!
