Essay from America: City’s transport strike makes it Helladelphia for Hillary

Donald Trump may be the one shouting about election- rigging but if anyone has a right to claim a set-up in Philadelphia, it’s Hillary Clinton, writes Caroline O’Doherty.

The city is a Democrat stronghold, vital for winning the state of Pennsylvania, and it’s in the middle of a public transport strike with fears it could keep her voters away from the polls tomorrow.

So confident was her campaign of cleaning up here, they dubbed it Hilladelphia. Now it has a hint of Helladelphia. A judge is to rule today on the transport company’s application for an injunction to order the drivers back to work for election day and the unions are furious — unions upon whose support Hillary relies.
