Charles Pierce has a question for Peggy Noonan
Pierce has two takes.
'Trump campaign officials said they had enough buses ready nearby to shuttle people back to their cars, but said a larger-than-expected crowd, estimated as high as 29,000, slowed the buses’ return. Traffic leaving an Eppley parking lot after the rally added to the delays. That left masses of people huddled in 31-degree weather along two-lane Lindbergh Plaza. Some tried walking back to their cars, pouring into the street, which slowed exiting traffic as well.'
Am I being too cynical because I suspect that the whole fiasco was
arranged so that the "Trump campaign officials" could hype the crowd
size as being larger than expected? Am I being too cynical if I
speculate—And it would be irresponsible not to, right, Peggy?—that
maybe, in keeping with the president*'s general business strategy, the
campaign stiffed the shuttle bus company?"

Reporters estimated the crowd as 6,000.
