“Mobile, Alabama doesn’t usually host presidential primary rallies. But this weekend it’s expected to host a doozy. Donald Trump will take over Ladd-Peebles Stadium, usually home to high school football games on Friday nights, not presidential pep rallies. Trump’s campaign shifted from a smaller venue to the stadium after seeing big demand for tickets; it expects 35,000 to attend,” the Washington Post reports.
“That’s 35,000 Trump fans in a city of 200,000 — in a county that backed Mitt Romney by 20, 30, 50 points less than its neighbors. What Trump’s doing, clearly, is not just trying to hold a rally in Mobile. He’s trying to show strength across the entire Deep South. If his grandiose expectations come true — which they have a recent habit of doing — his point will be made.”
