Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump comes to Tuesday’s Lincoln Day Dinner with even more baggage than is common for the controversial political figure.

But Trump’s contentious words and actions trail him like an ink-black cloud of angry hornets aren’t scaring away potential attendees of the Birch Run Expo event, sponsored by the Republican parties of Saginaw and Genesee counties, to listen to the candidate’s keynote speech.

In fact, tickets to the event are moving fast, and organizers expect a standing room-only crowd, according to a Detroit Free-Press report.

That optimistic outlook comes after Trump has been criticized by members of his own party for nasty remarks he made about Megyn Kelly, Fox News host and the co-moderator of last week’s Republican debate. Trump claimed Kelly’s questions were unfair and biased, especially when she asked about past sexist comment he made. Without a hint of irony, Trump said after the debate that “blood was coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”

Trump has refused to apologize for what he said, and on Monday, he doubled the ante into the crazy pot and told MSNBC that Kelly needs to apologize to him.

And the problems haven’t just been from external naysayers. Trump and campaign adviser Roger Stone also parted ways over the weekend. Stone either quit over the Kelly fiasco or he was fired, depending on whose story you believe (and whose story you believe probably also offers some good insight into your own beliefs and well being).

The GOP event will be at Birch Run Expo, 1160 North Beyer Road, Birch Run. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the event begins at 7 p.m.
