Trump's Phoenix rally kicks off counterprogramming spree
ABC "News" ^ | February 19, 2020 | By Will Steakin

President Donald Trump is kicking off a West Coast campaign swing Wednesday with a rally in Phoenix, the capital of a state he lost in 2016 but hopes to flip in 2020.

Trump's event at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum marks the first of three rallies in three states in three days -- his biggest reelection-related time investment this cycle.

Following his stop in Arizona, Trump will take his road show to Colorado on Thursday and then Nevada on on Friday, the day before the crucial Democratic Nevada caucus.

The Arizona rally is another attempt by the president to counter Democrats, who have a critical debate Wednesday night featuring Sen. Bernie Sanders, who's surging in the polls, and Mike Bloomberg's first such appearance.

Trump supporters in Arizona waiting in line hours before the event said they're unfazed by Bloomberg's unprecedented spending ahead of the former New York City mayor's debate debut.

"I think it's fabulous," Ronda Dooley told ABC News. "I wan't him to pour more and more money after a dream that I don't think would be able to come to fruition."

“The Arizona rally is another attempt by the president to counter Democrats...”

Another attempt, it never stops on the left, they’re obsessed over all the wrong stuff. The left... what can I say that isn’t already blatantly obvious?

And the rest of the article is probably about as accurate and reliable as that sentence.

Arizona ... New Mexico ... almost the same thing to the apparatchiks in New York City.

To be fair, Trump has to beat the execrable Mark "Smelly" Kelly to help young Martha McSally limp into office, thus preventing Cartelfornistan from picking up yet another Senate seat by way of excreting its crazed Leftard effluvia into the voting booths of neighboring states.

Wut.

Trump won Arizona in 2016 by 3.5 points (about 90,000 votes). What is this "reporter" talking about?

I think Martha McSally actually helped herself with AZ republicans when she called out that CNN reporter “a hack”! Frankly, I was pleasantly surprised that she went on the attack. About damn time she earned the Senate seat that Gov Ducey appointed her to!

——the crucial Democratic Nevada caucus——

Actually, it is trivial nothingness. Nevada will have no influence on anybody

So far, there is no Democrat counter.

Drifting with flapping sails and no wind, the party is going nowhere
