Overflow Crowd for Donald Trump in Bernie Sanders’s Backyard

By ALAN RAPPEPORT and JESS BIDGOOD


A line formed outside for Donald J. Trump’s rally in Burlington, Vt. on Thursday, as more people tried to attend than the Flynn Center for Performing Arts could hold


BURLINGTON, Vt. — Donald J. Trump touched down in one of America’s most progressive cities Thursday night, bringing the bombastic message that has captivated Republican voters into the backyard of a Democratic opponent, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

The visit came as the billionaire real estate mogul has made a point of broadening his focus beyond the early primary states, showcasing his popularity with packed rallies from Mississippi to Massachusetts, and now Vermont — a onetime Republican bastion that is now one of the most solid liberal states in the nation.

The choice of venue seemed curious to some, but Thursday’s rally served multiple purposes for the Trump campaign: needling Mr. Sanders in his own neighborhood; garnering attention in nearby New Hampshire, which holds the nation’s first primary next month; and showing that the candidate can attract big crowds in a Democratic haven.

As the nature of his campaign strategy becomes more clear, it will be interesting to see how successful it is - campaign strategy hasn't changed dramatically since the 1960s.  This is something very different...especially for Republicans, who have been practically walking cadavers since 1980 (84 doesn't count as it was like having the Seahawks play the Tennessee Titans).

ATTENTION:

People stood in line in below freezing temperatures in a vain attempt to get inside the auditorium.

In VERMONT!!

She won't carry one single state, IMO.  We're talking Reagan/Mondale numbers here.
