2018 midterm campaign warms up.

TRUMP,  BARLETTA RALLY, WILKES BARRE

BIGGER CROWD THAN 2016




President Donald Trump came to Wilkes Barre to kick off the beginning of midterm campaigning in Pennsylvania. He came to give recognition to Lou Barletta, running for the Senate in opposition to Bob Casey. He endorsed Scott Wagner for governor. He also introduced House candidates John Chrin, candidate for the 8th. Congressional district and Dan Meuser, candidate for the 9th district.

It was an overflow crowd, the parking lot was filled by 4 PM and many people walked about a mile from a nearby parking area. Rt 81 was closed while the president entered and exited the arena.  It was an enthusiastic, optimistic collection of Trump supporters, young and old, men and women all came to give support to the besieged 45th president. 

He listed his and his parties accomplishments as the crowd roared their approval. He did the usual chastising of the press, while the crowd booed in unison. It was as enthusiastic crowd as there could be.

I observed one protester, who was removed immediately. 

It was a happy and pleasant group of people, all came to see and support the President, all anxious to begin the fall campaign.

Appreciation earned by the Secret Service, the Pennsylvania State Police and the Wilkes Barre police for handling the security and the traffic in a well coordinated professional manner.




Black lives matter came to take advantage of the opportunity to sell TRUMP MAGA hats.
