It appears talks of a Trump event in the Greater Cincinnati area have not been silenced.Multiple sources are telling WLWT that a Trump campaign event could still be in the works for West Chester on Sunday.His campaign has not confirmed an appearance near Cincinnati as of yet.Trump is scheduled for Bloomington, Ill. at 10 a.m. and Boca Raton, Fla. at 6 p.m. Sunday, according to his website.Earlier reports about a signed contract for a noon Trump rally at the Duke Energy Convention Center downtown Sunday were erroneous, according to a source in a position to know.Watch this story"It's kind of sad for all the Trump supporters cause they're all excited about it," said Eric Deters, the Trump Campaign contact for Northern Kentucky. "They don't know how to get tickets. This is Friday!"There was an abundance of confusion and mixed messages about whether a contract for use of the Duke Energy Convention Center had been signed or not over the past two days.Clarity was as elusive as sightings of the Trump jet."What I understand what happened here...is that the Trump campaign contacted the Duke Energy Center about holding this rally. It's my understanding the Duke Energy Center leaked the story and that's what started this whole ball rollin'."WLWT was told, as well as many other local news outlets, that the rally was on for Sunday.Voters like Barbara Warren said they're intrigued by the Trump campaign.Although a conflict prevents her from going to Sunday's rally, if there is one, she remained interested in hearing more from him. "Not completely confident in Trump yet," she said. "Liked what I heard last night a little bit more," she added, referring to the debate in Miami.People have been planning. The group Cincinnatians Against Hate was organizing a protest outside the rally."He's not welcome here and that we don't want his type of bigotry here in Cincinnati", said spokesman Aaron Roco. "So, that's why we're saying, not in our city."They may not need Sunday signs of protest after all.A source said the Secret Service deadline at Duke Energy Convention Center passed at noon.The Trump campaign was looking at alternative sites like the Clermont County Fairgrounds, but there was no official announcement as Friday night approached."We don't have any specific information. We're getting a litany of phone calls," said local GOP Chairman Alex Triantafilou.He said the non-traditional Trump campaign has not kept the party in the loop."My guess is it's going to happen just because of all the chatter, but I know the website doesn't have anything on it and that's generating calls as well."Linda Caudill, the campaign contact for Hamilton County, texted today, "I am sorry, but the campaign has issued nothing yet."So, in the thick of the final days for Ohio, as John Kasich barnstormed the state to try to erect a Tuesday night firewall, the Trump rally plans remained a mystery."Is it bad to have a proposed rally that falls through? Absolutely. That's why I think it'll still happen," said Deters.
