    Yeah that’s the other thing. It’s in Bristol!

    That’s practically Massachusetts! And not even like, Boston…it’s like…Swansea. Suburban, nearly rural.

    To get from Providence, you practically have to go into Massachusetts first.

    To get from Warwick (where PVD airport is) or points south, you have to take the Pell bridge, which is a toll road, in addition to a bridge. Iirc, the only toll road in RI for 2-axle vehicles…so not a lot of people even really have EZPass. And you gotta cross the Jamestown Bridge first.

    These are all things most Rhode Islanders loathe doing.

    And yet despite that, it gets 80% of what Trump claimed his draw was. Pathetic.
