I just think it's funny that Trump is snubbing another state that has an upcoming election. By all means, snub away Donald!

Trump's NH event was in Londonderry, NH.

US News article today said:

"Airports in Manchester, N.H. and Boston, 8 miles and 45 miles from Londonderry, are both open Friday, as is LaGuardia Airport in New York City, where Trump’s jet is parked."

According to google, it is 264 miles. 4.5 hours in good weather. So I say not if there is bad weather.

US News? Why not look at the airport status?

Flightstats shows weather delays, still active, to all 3 NYC area airports. No doubt his pilots notified Trump of this, and he made the decision to delay the town hall and went to SC to campaign instead.

Nothing more complicated that that.

Then he could take his jet to the airports that aren't closed (according to current reports).

Is Trump TRYING to lose again? As we saw with the last debate, it's not good to snub people in that state with an upcoming election.
It's a pity that you don't keep up with real news to actually find out why.

Wherever Trump shows up thousands show up to listen to him. How do you hold a small event? Let's say he goes to a diner. What happens? Or does he just pick a random coffee shop and drop in. And suppose he meets 25 people there. So what? There are only 4 days left.

Yeah, about those rallys...

The last one was a YUGE disappointment. Trump even went as far as lying about the number of people there and telling the audience that the general manager of the venue was actually the fire marshal. Here's a thread about it:

It makes no sense to look at CURRENT airport delays since it's almost 9PM, at least 10 hours after when Trump would have travelled. Also who cares if there are delays coming INTO NY, since Trump was leaving NY.

Besides, the NH airports were open all day. His campaign said the airports were closed, and none were closed.

Lastly, he is supposed to have enough intelligence to pre-plan for weather situations. In other words, he should have checked the weather yesterday and chose to stay overnight in NH as a precaution, to ensure he would be at the NH event that he committed to. This shows he is unreliable - unable to meet commitments.

I think he was exhausted and chose to reschedule and used the snowstorm as an excuse.
