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.

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.

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.

He's even an a-hole magnet.

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

his bigger goal was to rent a 1400 venue and give 20-30k tickets out. The guy is a media master.

leave a big squishy stinker on Bernie's doorstep, because that's how he rolls.

I think he doesn't "get" Vermont.
