Thousands of Donald Trump supporters were left stranded in the cold for hours yet again after his rally in Pennsylvania Saturday night, just days after a similar debacle in Omaha that left seven people hospitalized.
Trump spoke before thousands of supporters at the Pittsburgh-Butler Regional Airport in Butler on Saturday night, but for many it was a headache to return home as the Trump campaign failed to plan for a sufficient number of buses to get people back to their parking spots.
Hordes of MAGA fans waited in 41F degree cold for nearly two hours for shuttles to arrive.

(11,605 posts)Not nearly as cold as it was in Nebraska the other night. Truth is, most big crowd events, especially large presidential campaign rallies, require some degree of discomfort standing outside waiting. But you would think after what happened in Omaha the Trump campaign would try to work out some kinks to avoid a repeat.

My understanding is, Trump could indeed shoot someone there and get away with it, that's how loyal they are. Fifty-seven thousand people is less than one-third of the county. There you go.
