Trump couldn't organize an event in ohio. good thing its not an important state......

Donald Trump cancels campaign stop in Akron and struggles to find donors in Ohio

............

The Trump campaign tried to organize an Akron event with only two days notice. But a tentative agreement to rent out E.J. Thomas Hall at the University of Akron on Friday fell through after the campaign and the Secret Service, which had little time to develop a security plan for the event, visited the site Thursday.

............

Debbie Walsh, former executive director for the county party, said her team was close to finding names for the introductory speakers and was busy combing donor lists or contacting elected officials and candidates to pass out the VIP tickets.

Who would have sat in the other 2,950 seats is a mystery. The Trump campaign has not returned emails or phone calls seeking comment before or after the event was canceled around 3 p.m. Thursday.

...........

While it’s not known if the event was a rally or a fundraiser, Trump has struggled to court donors in Ohio and elsewhere. And he may have even more trouble here after this week’s fallout with Gov. John Kasich, who has collected many loyal check-writers in his decades of public service.

looks like a tape

and it looks like there's no teleprompter in site

he should be REAL animated, in that case, not having the TP constraints. I might have to turn the sound up and see if he starts ranting uncontrollably

4. I didn't know 'oy yoi yoi'. Am familiar with the hispanic 'Aye yie yie', and the pirate 'yo ho ho'.

and 'Oy vey'. I can see him feasibly using the pirate one, but that's about it.
