I've been thinking about those stranded people who ended up in hospital.
So far the focus has been on the incompetence of the campaign, but I am also wondering about how wretched the attendees must have been. How badly can a crowd of like minded folks from the same town fail in looking after another. It was only 5 miles to safety, couldn't they rustle up some taxis, get friends and family to come out to pick them up. Offer up any free seats to strangers who were poorly dressed etc. Considering it was only 5 miles it isn't too much to expect that some people would be happy to take several trips to collect stragglers. After all they are your fellow Trump supporters and the election is imminent.
Makes me think many of these guys are in a much worse state than you can perceive from the TV coverage. And that America as a society is very badly broken indeed.
