I think this is a smart decision. Trump should not physically appear in the DC jurisdiction.

In 30 seconds, it would have become something in between a feeding frenzy and a (weighted) rock throwing contest.

7 of the 8 members of Congress from Maryland are morons, with Raskin being chief moron.

Andy Harris, the lone conservative is an all around good guy. I spoke with him once and said how glad I was the he represented me. He told me to check the map again. His district had just been gerrymandered right around my town.
