Trump Leaves Supporters Stranded In Freezing Cold - Several Hospitalized

[Maestro]

Again - go back to what I said above and what you think of Trump to attend a rally - and what they not only think about Trump but how they feel about a potential Biden presidency. Then add a pandemic and the weather. His supporters wouldn't mind if he shoots a guy on 5th avenue, I doubt they mind getting sick cause the buses didn't pick them up.

You don't understand the people in the middle of the country.

Being admitted for hypothermia isn't some minor "overnight" stay at a hospital especially if you're old. If they haven't voted yet they may not be discharged in time to get to vote. Thats kind of a big deal.

I would bet that the majority of people that attended, if their spouse got hypothermia and died because they attended that rally and were left out would not change their vote.

And I think the same if this had happened at a Biden rally

[metroins]

'Rona wasn't getting the job done, so Trump hired Hypo Thermia to sort out the rest.

This was unfortunately very funny.

[rhadam]

It is a candidate's job to make sure that the people at his rallies aren't hospitalized due too hypothermia because shuttle busses never came back to pick them up.

Yes it’s trumps job, even though he didn’t have a single part of organizing the rally, to make sure there are busses.

You’re a special kind of stupid aren’t you.

[NitrogenWidget]

Yeah, it was probably a screw up from some organizer on his campaign staff, but its normal for the head of a company (in this case trump) to take the blame when something bad happens. Remember that Volkswagon diesel emissions scandal? Noone cares about the engineers that purposefully falsified records about their emission standards, it was the CEO of VW that was all over the news and standing before committees having to explain himself. Sure, the CEO may have had the engineers fired, but the CEO still takes the brunt of the blame, thats why they make the big bucks.

Thats just how businesses work.

No, That's how the media and politics works.

people who work somewhere do bad things daily yet the owners or CEO's are not blamed for their actions.

you don't see the CEO of walmart under fire because the greeter forgot to come in or an employee didn't refill the hand sanitizer station.

if it actually makes the news some mid level public relations peon is available for comment.

Yes, it's Trump's job to hire competent people. You people have been lobbying against that belief for four years now.

This my god rhadam you're prior military you know how this thing works

[Sakeoe]

The cold weather is only a problem because we have so many thermometers.

If only there wasn't any global warming around it wouldn't have been so cold....

wait what?

Right, because a greeter forgetting to say hello is exactly the same severity of error as leaving thousands of people stranded in freezing temperatures causing several to be hospitalized for hyporthermia. Of course.

A comparable situation would be if walmart was selling products which had gone off and were making people sick, in which case the CEO would come under fire. It's not always fair but it is the way it is.

In the words of Trump himself "Leadership: Whatever happens, you're responsible. If it doesn't happen, you're responsible."

If you've ever lived or driven through the midwest during colder months you would experience first hand the afternoons can be pleasant, but the nights will drop to the teens. Thats exactly how the weather is this time of year when I lived in NM.

This is the forecast for today in Omaha. You also have to remember these were old people. Even if the weather was pleasant its kinda mean to have old people walk 4 miles back to their cars.

My family is from the midwest and I lived in the midwest for over a decade. Try again *******.

That's literally not anywhere close.

Let's see, hired chitty organizers vs sold us out to china to profit his self.

What's the lesser of the two evils here... Hard to decide.

Whataboutism is just an admission your own side is indefensible.

[reinsdorfsucks]

Ok, let's do some math here. There are not many polls in NE so far this year for obvious reasons, but Survey Monkey does have it in their national survey, and the margin is only 6% (52-46):

https://www.tableau.com/data-insight...ate-preference

There were about 850,000 voters in NE in the 2016 election. A 6% margin over 850,000 voters is about 35,000. There were an estimated 25,000 at the rally last night who are probably pretty plssed about having to walk several miles in subfreezing temps because the busses never came back for them. That's over 2/3 of the margin. At a margin of 10,000 votes, NE is within 1%.

Does this blunder put NE in play? LMAO.

We can only hope that they've already voted early

Edit: It appears about 400,000 have already voted in which 215,000 would be Republican.

meanwhile trump jetted away in his cozy private plane

what a patriot, he totally cares about his supporters

This my god rhadam you're prior military you know how this thing works

so harris is responsible for violent rioters who continued to riot after she raised bail for them.

yeah, I think what she did is far far worse.

I was going to type an actual response but honestly, you are just one dumb fuk and not only is It exhausting talking to dumb fuks like you, it's pointless because your only response is "REEEEEEEEEEEEE ORANGEMANBAD REEEEEEEEEEEE"

[rhadam]

Yes, it's Trump's job to hire competent people. You people have been lobbying against that belief for four years now.

I get that you have very poor reading comprehension, so go back and re-read his post regarding “it’s the candidates job..” which I directly replied to.

Not to mention you trying to move the goal posts.

Rekt. As usual.

[rhadam]

This my god rhadam you're prior military you know how this thing works

I’m current military, I’m just no longer AD. And I know exactly how it works because I worked a VP visit along with two senator visits. I’m 100% more qualified than yourself to speak on this matter.

Ethered.

Fair enough, I take my comment back then.

How could anyone vote for Drumpfff after this???

[BullittEV]

Another thread on policy. Does anyone even give a chit anymore about actual law/peace deals/proposed ideas?

Yeesh. How does something like this take up your thoughts over everything else out there?

[vickissick07]

Whataboutism is just an admission your own side is indefensible.

Trump and Biden are my choices. Even if this is 100% trump's fault and he personally gave those people hypothermia it's still not as bad as what biden did. It's not a hard concept to grasp you flaming *******.

[SWDeath]

Child groomer biden needed to build cages for mexican kids so he could keep them for himself.

[Streetbull]

Do people check the weather before going to these events?

Was once at an outdoor graduation in May. Weather said low 40’s and rain, real weird.
People showed up in tank tops, shorts, flip flops. We had layers of clothing, rain ponchos, and hand warmers. We gave some people trash bags so they could use the bags like rain ponchos. Some little kids were just screaming from the cold, so we for sure gave them trash bags. It was terrible.

I know right?!? Biden would never leave his supporters in the cold to die. Everybody is riding with Biden.
