The thousands of stranded Trump rally supporters should have considered the free market instead of hanging around complaining until midnight in the freezing cold.

Bus lines could have arrived and charged a nice hefty fee for taking people back the 6 miles to their cars. At let's say $25 a head, a good free marketeer could make a bundle.

Where's the free market when you most need it?
