The support for Trump you don’t see
The Washington Examiner ^ | 10/29/2020 | BYRON YORK

Everyone can see President Donald Trump’s rallies. In the final days of the campaign, he is jetting from swing state to swing state, drawing big crowds to outdoor airport events as he makes his closing argument for reelection.

But there are also pro-Trump events that aren’t covered in the media. A case in point was a recent road rally, with thousands of Trump supporters jumping in their cars and pickup trucks to drive through parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. Organizers estimated the rally included about 2,000 vehicles, each with two, three or more people inside.

And here is a striking part — the rallies are not the work of the Trump campaign. The tri-state road rally was organized and staged by local Trump supporters, linked together largely by Facebook, who want to show that enthusiasm for the president in western Pennsylvania and surrounding areas is not just strong, but stronger than it was when Trump eked out a victory in Pennsylvania in 2016. If Trump wins this critical state, it will owe in significant part to this organic movement, and the energetic organizers who have nothing to do with his official campaign.

The route of the rally — St. Clairsville, Ohio, to Wheeling, West Virginia, to Washington, Pennsylvania — was in the heart of oil and gas country. Many, many of the participants had either direct or indirect connections to the energy industry.

The participants were well aware of Joe Biden’s recent pledge to “transition” away from oil and gas. To them, that’s Biden’s way of saying he wants to destroy the oil and gas industry. And for them, the only answer to that is to reelect President Trump.

I was pleasantly surprised by a pro Trump auto parade here in Mesa Arizona a few days ago . A few bums yelled obsenites at it as it drove by but their irrational hatred was part of the fun.

We had a nice Trump Train in Colorado Springs yesterday — maybe 800 cars may a lot more, hard to judge.

NJ had at least four yesterday plus regular ole rallies to boot. Sure, it’s NJ and Trump won’t carry it, but he will get every vote that he can from the place.

Don’t be too sure of that, or NY.

There was a Trump Train auto parade here in DE right outside Biden’s house about 45 min ago. Maybe 40-50 cars.

At the the end of Trump Moon Rally they played The Village People Song “In The Navy” instead of the usual “YMCA”.

Afterwards, POTUS Trump visited the Sailors aboard the Moon Fleet Ships.

I was camping all weekend and went directly to the Harford County rally. We rolled down I-95 south. Then looped north. Several hundred cars, enough that when we looped around, there were Trump flagged cars on both sides.

Got mooned for the first time.

Congressman Andy Harris was at the start. Not sure if he rode the rally.

Not that Virginia will break free from its self-imposed subservience to the democrat party, but it was great to participate in a 70+ car road rally between Williamsburg and Richmond yesterday.
