“We welcome him to LA but not for a photo-op. “
—
That is almost exactly what the then democrat governor of Louisiana said about Bush visiting as hurricane Katrina was winding down.
Simply “Trump Delivers” would be better!
thanks for the post and link. Highly, highly recommend reading the story at the link, especially the last paragraph to the effect: Not a single member of the House took Crockett up on his suggestion to give to the cause out of his own pocket. Because, he said, members of Congress treat other people’s money as trash even as they strive after money for themselves, even to the point of sacrificing honor and principle.

It’s cheaper than a commercial that most people don’t watch anyway. “Git ‘er done” Do something that makes a difference.
They’ll get the message, Hillary is full of empty promises.
“If I were Trump....every forest fire...every hurricane...for the rest of the campaign season....”
Bingo! Trump has the energy to do it too unlike Hillary. In LA Trump was acting like he was already the president - by bringing help to people. That’s not a bad thing.
I don’t know...isn’t “Hand Out” a verb here?
:)
Imagine Nancy Pelosi claiming that Trump is starting the fires as a campaign ploy.
Go Trump Go!
Daniel Boone, Davey Crockett. You can be forgiven for mixing them up, they both looked like Fess Parker.
“...Edwards successfully harnessed the teachers’ union and other assorted
government deadheads, and turned their hatred of Jindal to his favor.”
Some of those “deadheads” expressing their hatred of Jindal were here on FR. Jindal purportedly cut nearly 30% of do-nothing bureaucrats, while turbo-charging the post-Katrina recovery effort and private industry—especially offshore oil, refineries, shipyards, and related industries-— while placing a 5 year lifetime limit on welfare benefits.
Jindal was trying to Make Louisiana Great Again.
What Jindal was doing in LA was essentially a micro-blueprint for what Trump needs to do in the US. And it’s also a harbinger of the type of vicious resistance and outright sabotage Trump will face from Democrats and RINOS.
At the beginning of his second term in 2011, Jindal went after the teacher’s union - tenure, performance scores, school rankings - the whole shebang.
Unfortunately, he only was partly successful, and they counterattacked for the rest of his term.

Never do any enemy a small injury for they are like a snake which is half beaten and it will strike back the first chance it gets.
“Hand out” is a verb phrase.
“Hand-out” is a noun.
