Donald Trump's slimy rally in Vermont
Thousands of people stood in line for hours waiting to get into the Burlington event after the campaign distributed 20,000 free tickets to the Flynn Center for the Performing Art, which has just 1,400 seats.
To whittle down the crowd, rally-goers with tickets in hand who'd waited for hours in the cold were asked as they entered the venue whether or not they supported Trump.
Those who said they didn't were promptly escorted out of the building.

Donald Trump's slimy tactic:
Give out 14x as many tickets as there are seats; surprise those who waited for hours in the cold with a loyalty-question as they try to enter.
A ticket is an invitation; Donald Trump showed his sliminess by dis-inviting thousands of people at the last second.
There should be fraud laws against giving out that many more tickets than there are seats.
