    Default Hundreds of Trump supporters stuck in the cold for hours

    Rubes


    But as long lines of MAGA-clad attendees queued up for buses to take them to distant parking lots, it quickly became clear something was wrong.

    The buses, the huge crowd soon learned, couldn’t navigate the jammed airport roads. For hours, attendees — including many elderly Trump supporters — stood in the cold, as police scrambled to help those most at-risk get to warmth.


    At least seven people were taken to hospitals, according to Omaha Scanner, which monitors official radio traffic. Police and fire authorities didn’t immediately return messages from The Washington Post early Wednesday and declined to provide reporters on the scene with precise numbers of how many needed treatment.

    Soon, officers were radioing in about numerous elderly attendees struggling in the cold, according to Omaha Scanner. Police began shuttling some people to their cars to get them out of the elements.

    “As we were walking, I saw at least two Omaha Police officers helping people who were getting cold, one elderly lady and a young boy,”

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.


    “If Hamas put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there would be no Israel."

    The sinking of the Trump Navy boats on Lake Travis, and the stranding of elderly Deplorables in the freezing cold are the perfect metaphors for the Trump era.

    It's all Trump's fault. Just ask any Leftist and they'll tell you so...

    That would never be a problem at a Biden event...

    Just where do you think the buck stops with this guy?

    But he can't.

    If he did that, they would be showing him up and his ego won't allow that.

    Ineptitude is his way of life.

    Wrong... The best planning can still go wrong. They had busses available but the traffic jammed them up. Trump can't make each person attending wear appropriate clothing for the weather either. That's an individual responsibility. Yet, people like you blame the guy for everything wrong that happens. "OW! I stubbed my toe! It's all Trump's fault!" That sort of nonsense.

    If this had happened to a Biden rally they could have loaded the entire crowd in a Smart Car and driven them to safety.

    We can all agree that Trump doesn't have "the best planning."

    Looks like they had massively unexpected crowds at that airport. I wonder why?

    He literally left them in the cold.

    Is there a more apt metaphor for this disaster?

    No, they didn't have enough buses because there was no plan for after, much like everything Conservatives do.

    Conservatives aren't long-term thinkers. They are addicted to instant gratification.

    Biden supporters are voting while Trump supporters are at rallies coughing COVID on each other.
