I trust Democrats have already created a task force to both investigate this catastrophic event, and look into moving Election Day to July, so nobody will ever suffer the indignity of standing out in the cold again.

This is the perfect example of why Trump needs to go and where the root of all my hate for him and his followers start. "Just don't be stupid you moron" is something a friend used to say... yet for some reason people sit here and ignore the truth about the virus.. can't even articulate how stupid this is.

"Catastrophic" doesn't require a death toll, and I'd bet you knew that.

Read through what the cops were saying. God. Suddenly, they had THOUSANDS of people stranded in the sub freezing weather, for hours. Hours after they had planned to leave.

Thank god for quick thinking emergency responders to scramble up 30 busses - that's a feat - to drive through the "jam packed roads" that the event busses, mysteriously, couldn't navigate.

I have no idea how many are needing intensive care.

If this were some music venue, would you be so aggressively saying this isn't a problem, nothing to see here?

I trust that you are writing a very sternly worded letter today to Mother Nature about her unacceptable application of cold temperatures in late October. You should definitely cc Trump on it, too.

No, the left is not the ones who have tried to figure every angle to delay the election.

I sure hope it’s not cold on Nov 3. I can’t imagine the level of your outrage should it be cold on Election Day.

I am sure a lot of planning was put into the optics of the event. A full house and something that looks good if you are watching it from afar.

Trump rallies are a health hazard.

As long as less than 1% die from something its no big deal.

He has said it before he could shoot someone in times square and not losing a single vote. Now he can say I strand my supporters in freezing weather and give them hypothermia and not lose a single vote.
