In Burlington, people are apparently being asked at the door if they are Trump supporters. If they say "no," they're being escorted away.

Long line to get into Trump rally "like nothing I've ever seen in Burlington... Not for Phish, not on Free Cone Day," says one demonstrator.

(111,140 posts)A poster on the other site pointed out that it's a 1500 seat venue in a town of 40,000. He and his team sold and gave away over 20,000 tickets. Then he demanded he be allowed to take over a city park for this thing because of those 20,000 tickets. The city refused, inadequate notice and impossible parking situation. I'm expecting him to spew his bullshit about the mean old gummint of a Democratic state hamstringing his campaign by forcing him into such a teeny tiny venue.
I just hope all 1500 seats are taken up by people who are only there to call this mean, misogynistic, bigoted bully on his horseshit.

(39,308 posts)To some extent I understand that they're sick of the Flatlanders like Bernie from NYC. Vermont used to be conservative. Now the "townies" resent all the rich yuppies who've moved to the state with liberal ideas.

The GOP own this. They can't even shut him up. Hope they're happy.

I think he doesn't "get" Vermont.
