Will Trump Bus in Supporters to El Paso and Dayton?

I wouldn't be surprised for the Trump Campaign to send buses of supporters to El Paso and Dayton today. Trump is all about optics, and I think he will try to create an illusion of support in cities where he isn't welcome.

expose him for that.

Find that caravan of buses and be sure to film it and their passengers.

It can't be too hard to track or locate such buses coming into the town of El Paso or find where they are parked.

Also it would be funny if he actually showed up in Toledo instead of Dayton.

Then from where else, exactly, does one round up these busloads of people?

This “they bus them in” thing shows up on all sides and all contexts. I have to find out where all these bus companies are where one can charter hundreds of buses to secretly move around thousands of people who - to a man - don’t ever talk about it. It is the most amazingly leak-proof mass clandestine activity of all time.

11. They may not all be bused in, but I'll bet some of them are.

Most of them probably just get there themselves, either in small groups, with family members, or alone. He had one of his rallies in the very small township where I live, and a local reporter on the scene that night interviewed several of them by starting with, "where are you from?" To a man they were all from out of state. One was from Montana. I live in Michigan.

There is one woman who lives near me who I know to be a Trumpster who just felt it necessary to tell me yesterday that she was "going to Ohio tomorrow" and left it at that. She doesn't have any family in Ohio and she had that stupid grin on her face (she knows I hate trump), so I'm sure she was trying to get her digs in. It's not that far to drive to Ohio.

It's a cult, so these people will do anything to get to see their leader.

At Trump rallies, his handlers and arrangers are usually careful to place his most ardent supporters immediately behind and around him in the event that they might fall under camera coverage. To bus in supporters would be entirely within the realm of possibility, although there always seems to be a disturbing number of loyal Trumpian zombies ready locally for that purpose.

That his usual vulgar loud rally and racist attendees would be unseemly.

during his clap-fest El Paso tour 2019. He wouldn't travel all that distance without his claps.

The fact that he's going to 2 swing States and ignoring the other mass shooting probably holds your answer.

Of course he will bus in supporters, he always does. He has to ensure he's got big attendance and theres only one way - pay the people to come, give them signs, and chants and let them lead the idiots who really do follow him.
