    Donald Trump moves immigration rally to larger venue

    Donald Trump moves immigration rally to larger venue

    Washington (CNN)Donald Trump's divisive comments about immigration have drawn a crowd, one bigger than even the blustery billionaire expected.

    Trump announced late Thursday that his weekend rally in Phoenix, Arizona had been moved to the Phoenix Convention Center.
    "Due to the overwhelming response for Saturday's Rally in Phoenix, Arizona the venue has been changed to accommodate the thousands of people expected to attend and the event will now take place at the Phoenix Convention Center," Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said in a statement.
    The former reality TV star's theatrics have helped vault him near the front of the pack of a wide field of big name Republican candidates. But they have also cost him a seemingly endless string of business relationships, as major brands like Macy's, NBC and others have broken off ties with him.

    Speaking with CNN Wednesday, Trump could not say whether any illegal immigrants were working on his new Trump Hotel being constructed just blocks from The White House. The Washington Post reported that many illegal immigrants, as well as legal ones, were working on the project.
    Arizona has been a hotbed for conservative anger over illegal immigration for years, making political stars out of figures like Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
    The Republican Party of Maricopa County and Arpaio are hosting Trump on Saturday. But the state's Republican establishment is largely snubbing him.
    Sen. John McCain, the party's 2008 nominee, Sen. Jeff Flake and Gov. Doug Ducey are all skipping Trump's rally. Flake told The Arizona Republic that Trump's views are "coarse, ill-informed, inaccurate, and they are not representative of The Republican Party."
    The Republican Party, meanwhile, has struggled with the issue. Trump and Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus spoke on the phone Wednesday and walked away with very different versions of what was actually said.

    Trump Campaign Growing in Key States, Moves Arizona Event ‘Due to Overwhelming Respon

    Trump Campaign Growing in Key States, Moves Arizona Event ‘Due to Overwhelming Response’

    Support for GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump continues to spike, causing the campaign to change venues for its Saturday event.

    “Due to the overwhelming response for Saturday’s Rally in Phoenix, Arizona the venue has been changed to accommodate the thousands of people expected to attend and the event will now take place at the Phoenix Convention Center,” Trump’s press secretary Hope Hicks wrote in a press release.

    Also due to Trump’s growing support, he’s formed a South Carolina Steering Committee.

    In a press release Thursday, Trump’s campaign announced, “The rapidly growing list includes over 100 members from across the state and represents a cross-section of well-known fiscal and social conservatives.”

    “Since Donald Trump announced that he is running for President we have been overwhelmed by the enthusiastic support. The campaign is off to a fast start and we couldn’t be more excited,” said State co-Chairman Ed McMullen. “Voters across South Carolina recognize that this country needs someone, like Donald Trump, who can Make America Great Again!”

    “In response to the constant attacks and mischaracterizations by the liberal media and political insiders, grassroots support for Donald Trump has been increasing by the hour,” said State Director Jim Merrill. “When you threaten the Washington D.C. elite’s way of life they’re going to attack, but with Donald Trump’s leadership and the support of people across South Carolina and the country we can make Washington work for the people and not the other way around. Americans want the truth and Donald Trump is the only candidate with the guts to say it.”

    Trump will visit the state later this month.

    “This is just the first stage of building our statewide network and grassroots organization,” said Merrill. “We now have staff and contacts that are both geographically and ideologically dispersed throughout the state. Our goal is to build on that organization and re-define the political establishment in South Carolina in a manner that culminates with a victory in the Republican presidential primary.”

    Also on Thursday, the Trump campaign announced three Iowa Co-Chairs: Colonel Brian Miller from Sioux City, Tana Goertz, and Richard “Dick” Thornton.

    “I saw first hand what an effective leader he is,” stated Goertz. “He is decisive, honest, strong, and true to his words and that’s what I would want my next President to be.”

    “After 50 years of being involved in the process, I find that Donald Trump brings a new perspective to the word leadership,” Thornton said. “I believe in the Donald Trump who believes in the ‘lead, follow or get out of the way’ mentality and this will bring success to not only Iowa but to the United States as well.”

    Trump went to Iowa following his formal presidential announcement in June.

    “I am proud that these individuals have decided to join the Team Trump,” said Trump. “These individuals work hard in their chosen professions and understand how hard it is in today’s world to have a positive impact. They bring to this campaign a wide-range of backgrounds that represent many Iowans. I know they will work hard and contribute to this campaign and our efforts to ‘Make America Great Again.”

    Donald Trump Immigration Event with Joe Arpaio Expects 5,000 Attendees

    by Breitbart News
    10 Jul 2015

    Projected attendance for a Donald Trump immigration speech in Phoenix alongside Sheriff Joe Arpaio far exceeds the 2016 candidate’s expectations.

    From Vocativ.com:

    Donald Trump will be in Arizona on Saturday to give a speech about immigration with the state’s most high-profile—and controversial—sheriff, Joe Arpaio. But if you want tickets to the sold out event, “ya all might wanna camp out [at the ticket office],” according to one of Trump’s supporters in the Grand Canyon State.

    Trump’s speech with America’s self-proclaimed “toughest sheriff” initially was going to be held at the Arizona Biltmore resort in Phoenix. At the time, Trump’s campaign only expected about 1,000 people to attend the free event. Tickets, however, were gone within hours and organizers were forced to move the speech to a larger venue at the Phoenix Convention Center, where it again sold out almost immediately.

    As of Friday morning, organizers expected 5,000 people to attend the event, with hundreds more on a waiting list hoping to get in. Demand for tickets is so great that they’re popping up on Craigslist, among other classified ad sites, where the going rate is $50.

    Trump has been responsible for causing the GOP to admit that the party does NOT represent everyday Americans! Flake laid it our for all to see, Trump's views are not the views of the party. Now if you are anti-aliens and pro -Americans how do you defend that.

    I feel sorry for you, William, trying to vet these Presidential candidates. Whew, a job that I do not covet. It seems Donald is drawing the largest crowds other than Sanders.

    Im just glad that at this time Donald Trump threw a rock that is breaking down the glass house concealing the numerous negative consequences of the costly and deadly illegal alien invasion and overthrow of our American homeland.
