Trump Pleases Tired Crowd By Postponing Politics For Music In Pa. — Last night’s (Oct. 14) Trump Town Hall at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pa. will be legendary.

The venue maximum 5,000 crowd — some who can come from as far away as Indiana – packed the poorly ventilated, poorly concessioned facility after standing under the October sun for up to six hours.

When doors finally opened almost an hour behind scheduled about half found they had to continue standing.

The crowd had expected to hear The Donald take questions from audience members then give the expected answers with his trademark wry humor and exaggeration.

After taking a few and recognizing a Gold Star family in attendance, one of the crowd collapsed in a side bleacher. Trump put matters on hold and expressed concern. He obviously feared the worst. He asked that Ave Maria be played on the sound system. The man was carried from his seat and placed on a stretcher. As he was wheeled away, he recovered enough to raise his fist bringing forth loud cheers.

As Trump prepared to take the next question from moderator South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, a person collapsed in the bleachers on the other side. Trump again stopped matters as care was rendered.

Trump then harshly criticized the venue. Ignoring concerns from Secret Service, he ordered the roll-up doors used to truck in vendor displays opened, which greatly improved ventilation.

He then stopped the town hall and played music for the rest of the night to the crowd’s ecstatic delight. Most stayed until Trump finally stepped down from the stage, which was about an hour after the music started. His selection ranged from Pavarotti to Jeff Buckley to Sinéad O’Connor to, of course, The Village People. He ended with November Rain by Guns n’ Roses.

Newswise, long-time Democrat Peter Deutsch, who served more than 20 years as a Florida congressman took the podium to give an enthusiastic endorsement of Trump.

Trump Pleases Tired Crowd By Postponing Politics For Music In Pa.

President Trump’s Pennsylvania Rallies — We spent the week chasing President Trump around Pennsylvania.

Saturday, Oct. 5, we were in Butler County for his historic return to where he was almost killed, July 13.

Much has already been said about the event but we’d like to note the crowd size was not exaggerated and it took almost two hours to get to our car, albeit much of that was due to local law enforcement stopping traffic until the President left the venue via motorcade.

The Donald did say he wanted to hear opera singer Christopher Macchio’s post-rally performance.

And J.D. Vance and Elon Musk would certainly make interesting conversation companions.

We’ll note that Trump made the event about Corey Comperatore, who was killed by the assassin while shielding his wife and children, and David Dutch and James Copenhaver, who were seriously injured.

Further, he let Elon Musk and his vice presidential pick J.D. Vance have as much, if not more, of the spotlight as himself.

There is meme of Obama captioned “I need a vice president dumber than me” followed by Biden then Harris saying the same, followed by an uncaptioned photo of pathetic Tim Walz.

Trump, unlike the Dems, has the confidence to appoint an smart guy as running mate.

We stayed at the pleasant Fairfield Inn & Suites in Slippery Rock. It was a great and comfortable place with a great breakfast buffet but Slippery Rock is one heck of a hard place to find food after 10 p.m.

We ended up eating at a bowling alley that was a hangout for teenagers. We found the fried food delicious but that was likely because we were starving.

Also, we sampled Sheetz. Wawa beats it, at least as far as coffee goes.

Yesterday, Oct. 9, we were at Reading’s Santander Arena to hear The Donald give a rousing endorsement to Dave McCormick for U.S. Senator. Also speaking was Vivek Ramaswamy. Trump pointed out he was up in most polls. McCormick also said he was expected to win. Trump, who had spoken in Scranton earlier, talked for nearly two hours.

Scenes From Bucks Vance Rally –Tevin Dix of Drexel Hill sent us these scenes of today’s, Sept. 28, rally by vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance in Newtown, Bucks County, Pa.

Dave McCormick Stops In Drexel Hill — Dave McCormick this afternoon, Sept. 24, gave a persuasive list of reasons as to why he should replace the 15-year incumbent at Pennsylvania’s U.S. senator during a campaign stop at Chickie’s and Pete’s in Drexel Hill.

The most persuasive was that the incumbent voted for the Biden-Harris platform 99-percent of the time.

The incumbent’s sainted father is looking down with absolute disgust.

McCormick said this was the most important election in our lives and a Kamala Harris victory would cause misery and penury through the lifetimes of our grandchildren.

He’s right and, yes, that’s an endorsement of Donald Trump.

McCormick is campaigning with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, the bête noire of Trump supporters.

Except for some women with ties to Georgia, Kemp was generally ignored by the audiance.

McCormick said the polls have closed greatly in his senate race and that he expects to win. He noted that while Democrats had about a one-million voter registration advantage in 2020, that is down now to a tick over 300,000.

Thank you, Scott Pressler.

McCormick gave shout outs to many of the candidates involved in state races and to Alfe Goodwin who is seeking the 5th District congressional seat.
