    Trump Schedules Rally at Drake University Just Hours after Rand’s Rally

    Trump Schedules Rally at Drake University Just Hours after Rand’s Already-Scheduled Rally There


    Just saw a report that Trump has scheduled a rally, supposedly to support Veterans, at Drake University only hours after Rand’s already-scheduled Rally there on debate day 1/28.

    Rand’s rally is scheduled to start at 3PM

    "Drake University - Iowa 10,000 Rally"
    Des Moines, IA
    Time: 3PM

    Join Senator Rand Paul at the "Drake University - Iowa 10,000 Rally" and show the Washington establishment that the youth vote DOES matter!
    https://randpaul.com/event/drake-uni...wa-10000-rally


    Trump’s rally has doors opening at 5 PM and starts at 8 PM, to compete with and run at same time as the Fox debate in Des Moines.

    ...The "Donald J. Trump Special Event to Benefit Veterans Organizations” will be hosted by Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, with doors opening at 5 p.m. local time, and the event itself starting at 8 p.m. — exactly when Fox News lifts the curtain on its main stage debate...

    Is this a slimy move by Trump to co-opt Rand’s rally? To try to steal his supporters? To make Rand’s supporters look bad if they choose to march to the debate site after Rand’s rally, instead of sticking around to attend Trump’s rally and thereby “turning their backs on the Vets”?

    Is Rand’s campaign aware of this?

    Anyone (especially on-the-ground in Iowa) have more info?

    The venues are different. Rand's is at Olmstead Center, Trump's is at Sheslow Auditorium
    “I don’t think that there will be any curtailing of Donald Trump as president,” he said. "He controls the media, he controls the sentiment [and] he controls everybody. He’s the one who will resort to executive orders more so than [President] Obama ever used them." - Ron Paul

    Funny how Trlump and Cruz keep following Rand around and co-opting his positions...Rand is more powerful than we think...quite the leader who, who never gets the credit...very humble, unlike the imitators.

    I've seen a lot of negative comments about it in GOP media today, online and TV.
