who went west? Never heard of them again, did you? Is Phoenix even there still? It's going to fall into the ocean, you know. We have a good plan. Win in Manhattan, maybe in Queens. It's a great plan. And for the rest of the country, there's Brexit"

8. Is this the fourth, fifth or sixth previously scheduled event/rally that he has cancelled?

maybe not a big deal. But if the pattern continues, will some of those folks planning on attending, begin to question/wonder about what is going on?
