Not sure if my own personal anecdote means much, but last year, to the day, I was traveling through Findlay on my way to visit family. Vivek was in a nearby golf course giving a speech, and I guess his security had a nearby bridge closed. Ended up having to turn around and drive a few miles towards Ottawa to get on a road that led to an open bridge, then drive back around to where I needed to go. I don't know what his situation is like, but generally perspective politicians should try to avoid inconveniencing voters, and there were other, more secluded golf courses he could have used instead.
The libertarian candidate from called for him to drop out recently from a statement in Ottawa. I don't think there is an snowballs chance that he does though.
