Trump on rally blitz as he tries to stave off Dem gains [gains??]

President Donald Trump gazes out over his rally crowd and looses a stream of insults with a theatrical flourish and playful grin. He jabs at Cory Booker the “disaster” mayor, Elizabeth Warren the “Pocahontas” pretender and “sleepy” Joe Biden.

“I want to be careful,” Trump tells the crowd, feigning a confession. He doesn’t want to hit his potential challengers too badly, he says, because then the Democrats may find “somebody that’s actually good to run against me. That would not be good.”

The venue may be Council Bluffs, Iowa, or Erie, Pennsylvania, or Topeka, Kansas, but the formula is largely the same. […]

Trump has been aggressively campaigning across the county to try to boost vulnerable Republicans before the Nov. 6 elections, when the stakes couldn’t be higher. A Democratic takeover of Congress would stymie his agenda and mire his administration in endless investigations, including possible impeachment proceedings. Trump’s team believes his appearances fire up his loyal base, countering the wave of Democratic enthusiasm that polls suggest will lead to significant Democratic gains, especially in the House. …

She isn’t the one I was thinking of, but why do they all look like the sophomores I avoided in high school.

I can’t say that I ever saw this one. She must not be part of the White House press.

I saw a crawl on One America that POTUS is taking shots at NBC for misreporting something. Wonder what that is.

I also just read on One America that John McGlaughlan, a highly respected pollster, who has been around since FDR, I think, reported that the GOP maintains the house, if they can maintain their enthusiasm.

HIM, I believe.

The polls supposedly point to significant dem claims “especially in the House.” Except for the fact polls have always indicated republican gains in the Senate. There is no “especially in House”.

You beat me to that. The polls and everything else (that the Dems have to defend 10 seats in deep red states for example), have always indicated Republican gains in The Senate. Jeez!

Fake news is terrified so they’re resorting to that true and tried Alinsky tactic: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

Yeah, sure.

Donald Trump has proven that tireless campaigning on a message, works.

And every Republican candidate in the country, not matter the level, is happy to have him stop by.

Well, except for Jeff Flake.

A great campaign ad would be to tell voters that if Dems win the House, wacko Maxine Waters will be chair of the Banking/Finance committee, far left loon Jerry Nadler will head the Oversight Comm. , far left Trump Hater Elijah Cummings will head the Judiciary Comm.

They should call that show “60 years.” It’s been on forever!
