In what many deem a stroke of political genius, President Trump served today as Grand Marshal of the Daytona 500 NASCAR race. He vowed to take a lap in the armored presidential limousine serving as a pace car, and did. Here are two short videos that show some of the action:

As you would expect, the president got an enthusiastic reception from the crowd of up to 200,000. NASCAR is famously patriotic, and Trump is a patriotic president. That may turn out to be the most fundamental difference between Trump and his Democratic opponent in November.
In 1972, I was discussing the upcoming presidential election with a friend from college. Both of us were on the left at the time, but my friend summed up the race succinctly: “Nixon is going to win because he is for America, and McGovern is against America.” It depends somewhat on who wins the Democratic nomination, but essentially the same dynamic will be on display this year

bloomberg spent a lot of money advertising..seems like I saw one every break
Sadly the race was rained out. Will run tomorrow.
I thought it was cool
His strategy is to buy up all available space between now and the election. Make Trump spend to match. I think it will backfire because he sucks!
How bizarre that the rain held until after the Opening Ceremonies.
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE VILE< EVIL< VICIOUS< LYING DESTROYERS OF GOOD PEOPLE!
I don’t think anyone likes “Bluummberg”
Just got a text from Bloomberg I replied and told them to tell mini mike to take a hike!!
Trump in charge of Rove’s magnificent weather/election modification machine now!
They are “mini-mercials”
And yet The Donald toasted every message Mike Bloomberg put out there....
America’s President at America’s race.
She'll call and depose, as witnesses, all 101,000 fans at the event...
Why Democrats are going to have their a$$e$ handed to them in November:
Reason 1. Trump shows up at a hugely popular patriotic event. The democrats show up at a Greta Thunberg(?) rally.
Feel free to add your own reasons
.
Only Trump would have enough faith in his military to let them pull this off. Others would be thinking the risk of something going wrong and coming back on me is too high.
I tell ya, Melania seems to have a bigger smile than the time before for every event that I’ve seen her at in the last few months. So glad that she is looking so happy.
Your nickname says it all. That photo is when W was there.
Dems will denounce it all as white racism. The white lines on the pavement gave it away.
And didn’t Jeff Foxworthy say “You might be a redneck if you can watch NASCAR races at every track in the country and not require a program? Obvious Deplorable stuff right there.
