The Economist reports on Donald Trump in Chicago , Friday night :

Why did Mr Trump choose such hostile terrain for his rally, just a few days before yet another important series of primary elections on March 15th? In the days before, online petitions and messages on social media indicated that Mr Trump would not get a friendly welcome. Over 10,000 said on Facebook that they would protest against his event. More than 300 worried UIC staff members signed a letter imploring the head of the university to cancel the event.

No word yet on whether the Economist magazine thinks Barack Obama shouldn't give speeches in coal country.
