Non-supporters thrown out of Trump event

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I can understand turning away hecklers and people you feel might disrupt the event, but this boggles my mind.

Jess Kell of Burlington was among those denied access Thursday night to the Flynn. She waited on line with a ticket, but once she made it through the first set of doors, well-dressed campaign staff wearing Trump lapel pins began to question her, she said.

“They are asking people if they’re Trump supporters,” she said. “I said, ‘I’m here to learn and listen and observe,’ and they said, ‘This is a private event, and only supporters may come in.’ And then they had the police escort me out the door. There was no chance to ask questions.”

Kell’s son, 17-year-old Burlington High School student Phineas Totten, also had a ticket to the event and arrived sporting a Donald Trump campaign button. When the Trump staff asked about his loyalty, Kell recounted, “He said, ‘Look at my button.’”

Totten was allowed inside.

Why on earth would you turn away an undecided voter? Aren't those the people you need to be winning over and coaxing into your camp? If that happened to me that would pretty much help me decide to not support that candidate.

Well, it is HIS event. If it is for HIS supporters then he is justified. It's not like a Hillary rally where only a hundred show up you do realize?

The low information mind seems to boggle easily. Hillary held her coming out campaign event on a freaking island in the East River.

Drumpf wants and needs only the non-thinking, rabid right. The last thing he needs are true Conservatives or undecideds.

Trump has enough votes to be nominated and lose the presidential election, which is exactly what he is planning to do.

So his strategy is in place...

Meh. The venue held 1400 people. From your link...

"We have more than 20,000 people that showed up for 1,400 spots,” Trump said in a statement to the Burlington Free Press. “I'm taking care of my people, not people who don't want to vote for me or are undecided. They are loyal to me, and I am loyal to them."​

Trump isn't winning Vermont in the general election...we all know that. He's only there to indulge his supporters. Good for him.

I have no doubt that they are being very cautious since a left wing plot was discovered where Trump opponents were going to corral all the free tickets and then not show up leaving an empty auditorium.

Even the excuses from the Left are getting lamer as we get closer to the election.

You're a bit late for that concern.

And just to point out none of these individuals were "thrown out". They just weren't admitted.

Well, they've got to do something...Trump rallies attract thousands...while Hillary's could be held in a telephone booth...with room to spare.
