But several major highways and local roads were closed due to hurricane destruction and there was one main road in and out of Asheville.

Watching the MSG rally felt like I was watching a neo nazi meeting. |
That’s because you were. |
Almost half of the money Trump has raised is from a handful of billionaires. That doesn't translate into votes the way millions of small donors does. |
It was revolting to see Trump not make eye contact during the almost two hours of their debate. It was uncivil and demeaning to treat another American that way. |
