Donald Trump will speak tonight at the First Niagara Center which holds aobut 18,000 people. All the seats will be filled. And, outside the First Niagara Center, as many as a 1,000 protesters could show up. There’s rain in the forecast so the numbers may decline. The local political talk radio programs are split between supporting Trump and supporting Cruz. However, Western NY is heavily Democratic so tomorrow’s New York State primary will feature a big win for HIllary–and an equally big win for Donald Trump. Bernie Sanders spoke to the Pope over the weekend but I don’t think that will help him here.
George, before you go there, calculate your “Free Trump Score, look here:

Mine didn’t look so good:
Your Free Trump ScoreTM is
528 – You are the worst person
Projected fate: Mandatory Stay, Trump Resort Guantanamo Bay
Wolf, I expect that tear-gas will fill the air tonight. The anti-Trump forces will be out in force!
they should put the tear gas INSIDE the building.
Rick, anything could happen tonight. The Secret Service is handling the security in the First Niagara Center while the Buffalo Police are handling the protesters.
I am paying the secret service to handle HIS security. Let him handle his own ****ing security, on his own dime. What scares me the most is all the people who fall for his bigoted, idiotic rhetoric. They WANT his madness.
Rick, there were people in line for this campaign event for 20 hours! Trump has some hardcore supporters!
Wolf, I love it!
I got:
647 – VERY BAD PERSON, SAD!
Projected fate: WALL CONSTRUCTION DUTY
George this is going to be a yuge event, yuger even than Trump’s teens-weensy hands. But will he mention the secret wall he’s also planning to build along your border to keep out moose and Canadian lumberjacks from threatening the United States. not realizing that such a wall will most likely also KEEP IN Justin Beiber?
The clown car goes careening through Buffalo. Film at eleven.
Jerry, film at eleven indeed! Many of my students plan to show up to protest Trump tonight. And people love to be on TV!
Trump’s quest for the presidency puts me in mind of something Rhett says to Scarlett (in the book, not sure if it’s in the movie too) about her obsessive love for Ashley Wilkes: “You’re like a child crying for the moon. And what would a child do with the moon if they had it? They wouldn’t know what to do with the moon any more than you’d know what to do with Ashley if you had him.” That about sums it up: Trump wants the presidency because he wants it…what he’d do with it if he gets it, none of us know…including Trump!
Deb, Trump assures his crowds that if he became President, he would make America great again. Notice the vagueness of Trump’s promises. Trump is on track to win BIG in New York State. Cruz gets heckled wherever he goes in the state and Kasich has been pretty much invisible. Trump could win all 95 NY delegates.
Kasich has been on a rampage through NYC restaurants, stuffing his face with all the great food we have here. After the primary is over he might have to join Pablo Sandoval in Food Rehab.
Jeff, no sign of Kasich on this side of New York State. And little interest in his campaign.
George, as I mentioned to someone, “The Trump card in the pack is the Joker.” I hope he doesn’t win in November. Stranger things have happened in politics, even more so in national elections.
Prashant, you’re right about anything happening. Trump taps into the general dissatisfaction with Government. Hillary Clinton is a flawed candidate with high negatives. The Republican Convention in Cleveland promises to be chaotic!
Somewhere, Abbie Hoffman is smiling.
I’d STILL take him over Hitlery!
Bob, Rex Ryan, Head Coach of the Buffalo Bills, is introducing Donald Trump at tonight’s campaign rally.
I got 570 meat packer at trump steaks. I have large hands for a woman, which made the number a bit lower
Maggie, I’ve heard those Trump steaks are great!
I don’t know what you mean. Maggie!
Bob, that number probably refers to the Trump score that I linked to in the first comment.
Rather OT – or not:
I just read that Ben&Jerry are supporters of “The Bern” and they not only created a special Bernie ice cream – the old geezers also took part in a demonstration in Washington DC where they promptly got arrested!
Wolf, I love Ben & Jerry’s ice cream (New York Super Fudge Chuck is my favorite!) but I think that special Bernie flavored ice cream will melt away after tonight!
