NAPLES, Fla. While Hillary Clinton is making an explicit push for Democratic down-ballot candidates, Donald Trump is taking a more subtle approach.
Sunday evening in sunny Florida, Trump repeatedly pushed his supporters to help keep Republicans in control of Congress.
Asking voters to cast their votes for him in 16 days, Trump said, "That includes helping me re-elect Republicans all over the place," adding that it would be "nice if they helped us, too, right? To enact my first 100 days."
At three other points in the speech, Trump slipped in mentions of a Republican House and Senate as essential to enacting his agenda....

Then make it about helping Trump.
Rubio MIGHT help Trump a little.
A democrat won’t help at all.

Rubio MIGHT help Trump a little.
But how will we ever get rid of foam-boy rube if I keep voting for him?

Well, he looks like he has the same makeup artist as Shepard Smith. Maybe he’ll contract something awful from the makeup and have to resign.

He will eventually self destruct.

Do you want Congress to pass Trump’s legislative proposals or not?

How can I vote for amnesty rubio? How can I? Dunno. Depends on who he is running against. There are degrees of bad and sometimes the pickins are slim.

So, basically, bite me.

My limp wristed rep tom Rooney is not backing trump,and that dirty bastid will hear from me tomorrow. If he does not back trump,I will not back him. I was wondering why I could not get people to take his signs. They will take five trump signs in a heartbeat,but wave we off about Rooney signs.

What’s so unexpected? All he has to say is “Straight GOP Ticket”.
To: 867V309
How can I vote for amnesty rubio? How can I? Because if the Dems win the Senate, they will rush through Obama's SCOTUS and lower federal judges between Jan 5th and Jan 20th, before Trump is inaugurated.
So yes, hold your nose and vote for the robot and the rest of your down-ticket Republicans.

It would be quite amusing to me if Donald Trump kept this up for about a week, pushing the down-ballot GOP, then someone would ask him in public if that includes Paul Ryan. And I could watch him hem & haw a bit, as if he needed to really give that some thought. And then he would finally say, “Yeah, I guess so, but that’s ultimately up to his district.”
My dream: Wisconsin’s Cong. District 1 voters make an example out of the Dem Ryan and vote for the OTHER Dem in that race. I’m getting palpitations just from thinking about it!

Oh, so I should rely on foam-boys 'firm stance against amnesty' as assurance he will support Trump?
I DON'T THINK SO.

There will be amnesty if the Dems win the Senate. Schumer will push through Obama’s judges.
All Rubio can do is present an amnesty bill to Trump. Will Trump sign it?
