Presidents don’t typically devote campaign time to states where they’re coasting to victory.

Are they using my leg? I don’t understand.
It’s not just for Trump’s reelection; there are Congressional and other downticket races that need attention.
I apologize. I shouldn’t have said anything. I’m still bitter, but I didn’t stop to think that it would be an insensitive things to say. I hope you get your prosthetic soon.
Best wishes, and thank you for your service to our country.
Sorry to hear about the loss of you and the Mrs.’s extremities. I’ll pray the Lord fills your lives with dignified pursuits such as what you’re doing here for FR viewers and pray that each day will bring you rich rewards in helping others in other ways as well.
What’s the status on POTUS’s Vet initiative to have Vets go directly to private clinics? I could check by looking to read up on it but it would be good to hear firsthand from yourself, if you’re getting any material informing you of private VA options.
As you know we love our Vets but the VA health system is in the view of myself and many others a fatally flawed working model for healthcare, nothing to do with the VA employees but the system design and operation always lags like a low bandwidth router. Its bureaucratic controls will forever keep it from keeping up with the private sector. Its like comparing dial-up to 5G and will always be orders of magnitude behind standards established in private care models. The Doctors are good, the Nurses are good, nothing wrong there, and technology is helping to process and track records, but the system accountability and focus is oriented in ways that keep it unresponsive unless its hierarchy gets involved and then it’s here and there, hit and miss.
And you know I am an honorably discharged Vet. Believe me if I thought there was hope for the VA health system, I would be one of its biggest cheerleaders.
My idea of putting the VA Health Administration (VHA) down is to fund the transfer of its employees to the private sector while preserving their govt retirement benefits. Private clinics would basically get VA employees for free for say 3 to 5 years and retrain (with reimbursements or tax credits) and integrate them to private care.
The VA’s other components, the Veteran’s Benefits Administration (VBA), the National Cemetery Administration (NCA), and the VA Central Office (VACO) would transition with the dissolution of the VHA. The VBA and VACO could oversee the reimbursements to private care systems for veteran care and for tracking services to Vets, the NCA would remain as it is now, the VA Cabinet post would remain in place as the President always has need for direct communication to a Secretary that is devoted to Vets only.
I am only 3.9 miles away from a large VA Regional Campus but most Vets are like 40 to 75 miles out and the employees commute an hour to an hour and half to get to work. Vets could go a few miles to a private clinic in their area and VA employees in transition could commute maybe at most 15 minutes.
The VA health model doesn’t work and doesn’t make sense practically or philosophically.
The Blacks are in Dallas in huge numbers from all over the country for the trial of Amber Guyger, a white police officer who shot a Black man. I hope Trump isn’t coming here now. All the militants are here.
Parscales (sp?) is using these rallies strategically to gather data on Trump supporters for later. As he says ,polls don’t matter but getting supporters to the polls in 2020 does.
LOL, every day, a new "surprise" from the dems. Meanwhile the GOP is a sleep at the wheel.
Gift? I thought Texas was turning blue this year?
I they want to re-capture the HOUSE they do :P
liberals are so short sighted.
I’ll be there. Just confirmed. Don’t know what to expect, but I plan on having some fun confronting....
I’d be concerned, too, if I thought he relied on the Secret Service.
Yes! That’s the thing with Hillary. The more they see and hear, the less they like. Then she loses because she ignores their states.
It’s a win-win.
You think they haven’t tried assassinating him already?
I’ll bet there have been dozens of attempts, and probably a couple that came close to succeeding.
If you want to get more TRUMP SUPPORTERS to attend, just publish an article like this, Dallas Morning News.
If California and NY EVs can't be turned red, millions of votes from liberal states will turn the national popular vote a nice shade of crimson. He'll be all over the US.
He had three rallies in Texas in the 2016 season AFTER the primaries were done. But now it’s suddenly new.
Bad things happen to presidents in Dallas.
Ha ha ha this will be another Wile E. Democrat adventure that will end with an anvil bouncing off the rat’s skull.
My one hope is that failure is all they’re good at.
