AS EVENING fell on November 6, just two days before what is arguably the most stunning political upset in American history, construction worker Jonathan Langford patiently waited in a line that stretched for more than half a mile. The 32-year-old—and nearly 10,000 other Pennsylvanians—would wait in that line for four hours before they filed into a huge airline hanger in suburban Pittsburgh for a Donald Trump rally. Langford, and the rest of the crowd, would wait for nearly two more hours before Trump finally arrived and would do so without complaint.
“I’ve never been to a rally for someone who is going to be president,” Langford said. “This is a little bit of history here. He’s going to win.”
