If there was a reason President Donald Trump chose the small Pennsylvania town of Montoursville to hold a campaign rally, no one in the media is saying what it is. In the absence of any answers, let me suggest one, admittedly more speculative than proven but a possibility nonetheless.
In 1996, during the midst of Bill Clinton's desperate drive to become president, 16 French club members from the Montoursville high school and five of their chaperones died in the crash of TWA Flight 800 off the coast of Long Island.

Plausible? Yes. But a stretch.
I think he wanted to support Keller, who won in a landslide.
Clinton was already president in 1996...
Bingo!
editing is a lost art
they can do a history channel special about the ancient craft of editorial editing
IIRC, FIB’s James Kallstrom helped to steer the investigation AWAY from terrorism despite the evidence and eyewitnesses.

It was Clinton's desperate drive to be reelected in a huge landslide victory over Bob Dole...
Early in the campaign you shore up your base in key states.
Why isn’t the Keller win even mentioned on FR??? Except by you, of course. Bret Baier - that creep - had announced it was a total referendum on Pres. Trump! Thanks to you, I now know the outcome.
Sheesh!
Yes but he was running for re-election nd did not need this scandal,that’s the point.

Trump was in Montoursville because they had a special election to fill a congressional seat left open when Rep Tom Marino resigned in January due to health reasons.
Trump came to endorse Fred Keller in a district redrawn illegally by the Democrat-controlled PA Supreme Court, that now includes much of State College (home of Penn State) which is very liberal.
Keller won the election the next day by a near 2 to 1 margin.

I saw several threads on it last night - his name just wasn’t mentioned in the thread title. Look for “Pennsylvania Special Election.”
Thank you!!!
It’s not far from Scranton.
Thank you for reporting. I hadn’t heard.
At the time a head scratching decision, only to become clear today with a full understanding of the complete corruption (sorry Sean Hannity) of that organization.
