show up tomorrow night for an event in downtown burlington? is downtown burlington equipped to handle that kind of crowd? it s going to be a mess. they are going to close down some of the streets and there are going to be tons of protesters. there will are traditional march and rallies to silent protests. if they re not inside the flynn theater, they re probably going to be outside making a lot of noise, maybe being silent but certainly protesting donald trump s visit here. i ve just been given a statement from the mayor of burlington, myra weinberger said vermonters value the first amendment in robust political debate. in this spirit i welcome mr. trump and his presidential
to the flynn theater, if you go to the flip you can catch the broadway national tour of rag time there. and after that willco will be playing. it s gorgeous. before all that, there is a huge act coming to the flynn theater in burlington vermont, one night only, donald trump is going to be there. he s going to bernie sanders hometown, holding a trump rally at the flynn. maybe that makes sense because alongside the deep south states, vermont and massachusetts will be voting in republican primaries very early this year on march 1st. here s the thing about this vermont trip. burlington is officially freaking out about this donald trump tomorrow night. not necessarily because it s donald trump coming to their town, though i m certain there s a little of that, too. it s a very specific problem. the donald trump campaign has distributed 20,000 tickets to
this event tomorrow night in burlington. 20,000. that s half the population of burlington. the really specific problem is that the flynn theater is physically incapable of holding half the population of burlington. the flynn theater holds only 1,400 people, including the balcony, but the trump campaign has given out 20,000 tickets. if those people do show up to hear trump speak, only 1,400 of them are going to get in. it will be less than that because the 1,400 seating chart includes seating for the press. that means 18,000 people could be conceivably turning up and doing what? what are they going to do? the burlington police chief tonight said more than 6,500 people have confirmed they re going to attend. that is still way too many for
campaigning in the bernie sanders state of vermont but the largest city, burlton vermont. burlington has a population of only about 42,000 people. though small in size, the city of burlington does have a lot of attractions, including the university of vermont, which is lovely. it s situated downtown, takes up a lot of the downtown area. there s also the site of the original ben & jerry s, which i ve been to, which is awesome. it boasts the historic flynn theater. it started as a motion picture venue back in the 1970s. if you are interested in going to the flynn theater, if you go
time outside march 1 is vermont. we will be treated to the expect call of donald trump not on campaigning in the bernie sanders state of vermont but the largest city, burlton vermont. burlington has a population of only about 42,000 people. though small in size, the city of burlington does have a lot of attractions, including the university of vermont, which is lovely. it s situated downtown, takes up a lot of the downtown area. there s also the site of the original ben & jerry s, which i ve been to, which is awesome. it boasts the historic flynn theater. it started as a motion picture
