Trump weekend rallies in Nevada canceled

[brooklynite]

President Donald Trump’s two rallies planned for this weekend have been canceled because of in-person meeting restrictions imposed by Gov. Steve Sisolak, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed.

Events slated for Saturday at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport and Sunday at McCarran International Airport were canceled, the source said. The reason given was coronavirus restrictions imposed by Sisolak’s office.

Trump was also scheduled to hold a fundraiser during his Nevada visit, although details of that event were unknown.

Earlier Wednesday, Adam Laxalt, the co-chairman of Trump’s Nevada effort, tweeted the news of the cancellation.

1. I'm surprised he even went through the motions of complying with the state's restrictions.

I think the real reason is that the campaign is low on money.

[empedocles]

2. Low on funds, wary of turnout?

[Eugene]

3. C. Both of the above.

[lagomorph777]

9. Yeah, he's been flouting state rules everywhere. Low funds and the Woodward story are killing him.

[empedocles]

4. Certainly good public policy against the rally.

[Not nice, but from a Darwinian perspective, those rallies, Sturgis comes to mind . . . all apologies].

5. That's my Gov. Sisolak ain't afraid of no trump.

That's a strong, national move for Governor Sisolak.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Yes,me thinks

Shelly made that call. I think the Donor Fall out is greater than we know.

[brush]

11. Oh, you mean Adelson? Quite possibly, and one reason the trump...

campaign is broke. And after today's Woodward revelations on top of the "The Alantic" reveals earlier, trump should be about dead in the water about now.

And Woodward's got receipts/tapes so the "fake news" retort won't work.

14. And yet ...

17. The real truth is the Vegas

cancel. It was scheduled at the Airport in the Executive Air Hanger. Same for Reno,another Hanger Rally understand it was to be only Tea Party and Militia Donor types. Tarkainian,Robinson,Fiore,Goodman's, Laxalt and Crew. You know,the real representatives of Nevada,don't believe me,just ask them,they will tell you so.

18. The fact that it's canceled signaled they're old Vegas. Sisolak is...

the new sheriff in town, and as another poster wrote, Adelson, among probably others, just aren't into trump anymore. They're not coughing up dough like before because he's bad for the country.

[Wellstone ruled]

19. Word has it,Harry

and Sheldon are Bud's once again.

[brush]

20. That's good to hear. Harry Reid knows how to get things done.

[Wellstone ruled]

21. When a mutual enemy bridges the divide,

old friendships oft times heals those divides. Reid has beatened Pancreatic Cancer,as to Sheldon,he suffers from Pancreatic Cancer as well,have not heard how his battle is going. BTW,they both have their personal Offices in the same building on the Strip.

6. I'm glad to live in a state where my Gov is not an anti-science kook.

Plus, it is an absolute stunner of a day here after weeks of 110-ish every day, and the SCROTUS would just ruin it.

8. pure bs... there are a number of air bases near vegas he would use......

He has zero inhibitions to holding a public event at an active AF base.

You know he would if he wanted to. State law has zero effect on base operations.

There has to be another reason. Rain isn't it. State mandate isn't it.

[brush]

12. Vegas is pretty blue. They're probably afraid of low turnout...

as Nellis AFB is on the far northeast side of town and one has to go through paper work to get on the base if you're not in the service or work there.

[getagrip_already]

16. the cic can wave any security regs.....

really. It's an order and no member of the military can refuse a legal order (there is no indication this would violate the mcoj).

So security isn't it.

[Doug.Goodall]

10. Trump is on a down hill slope.

I hope more Governors put restrictions on Trump's events and drive him out of office.

[JeaneRaye]

13. Good!

I hadn't made my protest sign yet! Glad he's not coming!

15. A pre-scheduled tee time?
