Trump moves Cruz rally to larger venue after 'unprecedented' demand for tickets
Washington Examiner ^ | 10/18/2018 | Caitlin Yilek

President Trump’s campaign has moved next week’s rally with Sen. Ted Cruz to a bigger venue in Texas after citing an “unprecedented” demand for tickets.

Trump’s 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale tweeted the venue change Thursday, saying the response for tickets to Monday’s rally in Houston has been "HUGE and unprecedented."

The campaign rally will now be held at the Toyota Center, which can seat up to 19,000 people for concerts. The previous venue, NRG Arena, holds about 8,000 people.

Trump announced last month he would hold a “major rally” with Cruz at “the biggest stadium in Texas we can find” to help the Texas Republican fend off Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-Texas, who is running for Cruz's seat in the Senate.

President Trump’s campaign has moved next week’s rally with
Sen. Ted Cruz to a bigger venue in Texas

***********

Does anyone know how this thing is going down? It started as a
Cruz rally and then the President made it a stop for him to back
Cruz. Now who introduces whom? Is Cruz on first or is the President
on first and brings out Cruz? Do they share the floor or chat back
and forth with each other?

Anyone have any ideas what the format will be?

"We have tickets....but, Toyota Center is crazy to park/get to."

It is a little crazy, best to use Metro Rail, there are several parking lots outside of downtown area. Then take the rail, it stops very close to Toyota Center.

Excellent contrast post. I’ll add this one:
