Is there any explanation for why the two people fainted though? That seems like a crazy ~~lead~~ lede to bury.... Was it random?

I mean the choice to stand there and play music is funny, but that whole event sounds like it came straight out of Veep

From the comments made in the town hall, it sounds like the room itself was hot. Given how trump is usually super late to almost all of his events, people were probably standing for a while in a hot room

Lol, how often are people fainting at his events that it's a complete non-story when it happens twice at one event? And then he thought, "it's hot in here, let's just play some music and dance"

What a strange campaign

Sounds remarkably like a fucking Diddy party. Seriously. Dude said he turned up the heat to get people horny or some shit.

This is in no way meant to be pedantic just something I learned a few years back. In this context it's "lede". I often assumed it was lead as in the frontrunner or leader of the story.
