Trump rally in Richmond Va tonight - CBS affiliate to preempt schedule to show it LIVE

Apparently the local CBS affiliate will preempt their normal shows at 7pm (pre game) and show his speech live at 8pm (usually NCIS L. A. ). Can't find if the ABC and NBC affiliates are.

On top of that in basically a 2 mile area today/tonight
Homeschool Convention
3 high school graduations - held in VCU campus
Tim McGraw charity show at 7:30
Death Cab for Cutie a few blocks from the Trump rally
Trump rally at the Coliseum

The cops will have their hands full.

Anti-Trump rallies:
One at a City park just outside where McGraw is performing (they may march down to the Coliseum).
Another -The Constitution Party - right outside the Coliseum.
ACLU will be in hand to observe both.

1. anything to promote the trump machine....the media just loves the don

5. Yep. They'll probably include every living soul into the total of attendance

The Coliseum only holds 12,000 for an event like this.

10. The only reason they do this is ratings

Trump will beat a repeat of NCIS LA and that is the only reason.

2. They all want to be live when he goes completely off the rails

There's probably a bonus structure in place for when he...
Says the N word
Says the B word
Says the C word
Rips of his clothes and smears ketchup all over his body and screams Eat Me

3. I hope so...

that would be amazing!

I don't see him being able to hold back. Warren's speech last night was devastating...he's going to lose it and soon.

4. I think this is his first appearance since the TelePrompTer speech

Does he go with the pro wrestling schtick or tone it down - which is not what his attending supporters want to hear.

6. This is what I'll be watching for as well.

Interesting situation: If Trump stays on teleprompter, will his supporters come in droves (top hear a canned speech as he put it)? Will he get so much free media time if he is always prepared? And will Trump be psychologically able to stay on a message other than himself?

If he leaves the teleprompter . . . merriment ensues.

9. Yep that's the dilemma.

Staying safe could mean less coverage. He stated just this week that he doesn't need to raise a billion dollars because he is going to rely on all the free coverage. No mindless rants and, what I think is staged, violence - will they still cover every speech?

11. Also, his supporters came for the overt racism

and they're not gonna be happy if Trump's overlords in the Repub establishment make him shove it back in the closet. They are OUT AND PROUD bigots!

7. I assume this is for free??? I wonder if it will be one of his rambling

rants or sticking to the teleprompter.

8. The coverage yes

In a story from a few days ago, he's bailed on his claim to be able to raise $1B and openly stated that he will rely on free media coverage because he's just SOOO damn interesting.
