Trump tours La. flood damage, draws cheers as he says region will rebuild

Donald Trump landed Friday in flood-ravaged Louisiana Friday, where he consoled homeowners and toured devastated communities, telling one homeowner he is "going to rebuild."

The Republican presidential nominee, with running mate Mike Pence at his side, stopped at the home of Jimmy and Olive Gordan in Denham Springs, where the couple was still sweeping out floodwaters from their home. A ruined couch, chair and bedroom furniture were piled on their lawn, and Jimmy Gordan told Trump he spent his 79th birthday on the roof of his house.

"I just don't know what we'll do," the man told Trump.

"You're going to rebuild,” Trump told him as the two hugged. “It's going to be so beautiful."

Trump and Pence received a warm reception as they toured a heavily-damaged portion of East Baton Rouge Parish. A crowd of supporters near a local Baptist church where volunteers have gathered to feed flood victims cheered the pair.

"Thank you for coming, Mr. Trump," one woman screamed.

"We knew you would be here for us!" another shouted.

Actually the only reason he’s going on Tues. is his Vacation is officially over Sunday...then day of rest...then he goes to LA.

The man wasn’t about to interrupt his vacation.

Of its last four governors, only one has been a single termer. People in LA like their incumbents just like in most other states.

It seems that Pence has run a flawless campaign thus far: nothing even the media can find to criticize him for.

And a majority of the American rejoice in the killing of these babies based on their voting patterns for at least a generation now.

>>>She is going to lose every state<<<

It would be nice, but right now I’ll be very happy with Trump getting at least 270 Electoral Votes.

The only reason a Democrat got in was because there was division in the GOP over the GOP candidate's moral issues.

This Governor will be a one termer.

“You’re going to rebuild,” Trump told him as the two hugged. “It’s going to be so beautiful.”...

He is so optimistic and so self assured, he makes me think even some personal things can be fixed and life can be great again.

He gives hope. A word that DIED under obama.

He’s touched by God, and I’ve been quite the sinner in my time and for some reason it makes it easy for me to see he has.

I know, I sound nuts. But I always do :)

You sound perfectly sane to me.

Trump inspires.

That’s what leaders do.

And Trump is a leader.

Any bets there will be complaints [probably from the first duffer] that there were no black people present at these venues?

I’m sure there were other visits on other videos.
