HAGERSTOWN, MD
Hagerstown /ˈheɪɡərztaʊn/ is a city in Washington County, Maryland. It is the county seat of Washington County, and by many definitions, the largest city in a region known as Western Maryland. The population of Hagerstown city proper at the 2010 census was 39,662, and the population of the Hagerstown-Martinsburg Metropolitan Area (extending into West Virginia) was 269,140.
In 1739, Jonathan Hager, a German immigrant from Pennsylvania and a volunteer Captain of Scouts, purchased 200 acres (81 ha) of land in the Great Appalachian Valley between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains in Maryland and called it Hager’s Fancy. In 1762, Hager officially founded the town of Elizabethtown which he named after his wife, Elizabeth Kershner. Fourteen years later, Jonathan Hager became known as the "Father of Washington County" after his efforts helped Hagerstown become the county seat of newly created Washington County which Hager also helped create from neighboring Frederick County, Maryland. The City Council changed the community's name to Hager's-Town in 1813 because the name had gained popular usage, and in the following year, the Maryland State Legislature officially endorsed the changing of the town’s name.

Someone on YouTube said the Runway is too short for a 757 so Trump will be arriving in his Helicopter.
We shall see.
I love that plane too.
Someday it will be housed in the Donald J.Trump Presidential Library.

I’m not surprised Cruz is circulating false lists.
Here’s the official correct list of Trump’s Pennsylvania Delegates.
Hope it is getting out there!
By the way has anyone seen “Clark” today?
Yes. Yes, it will!
His helicopter is pretty cool too!
His 7 million dollar helicopter.
The stream was showing mics in front of a sheriff’s car.
I wonder what that was all about?
“Fake trump lists being spread in PA. Pass the word.”
Unbelievable. I joked last week that I wouldn’t be surprised if Cruz did this. Do Cruzers have ANY integrity at ALL? They’re worse than the damn democrats.
American girl chewing her gum! LOL
Right Side back to the terminal. They must be getting their feeds mixed up.
Hi TF
See a Helicopter, but not sure if it’s Mr. T’s or not. Then RS switched to some woman apparently doing some speaking but no sound - she was chomping on gum, which was not cool.
This is exactly what is wrong with this type primary. This just sets up for cheating.
When my Pen-Pal came over to visit in the 70’s she thought everyone chewed gum, carried a gun and had a swimming pool in their back yard..LOL
It’s got the 2nd longest runway in all of Maryland, just redid it after 9-11 so Bush could fly in. They do touch & go’s with Air Force One all the time.

I hope so too, I love seeing a gross display wealth...LOL
Of course I have seen Mr. Hatton in many movies, but what he looked like prior to contacting acromegaly, makes his later appearance heart breaking.
