Former President Trump will barnstorm Iowa and Georgia in the coming weeks as he looks to maintain his tight grip on the GOP base.

Trump’s leadership PAC, Save America, announced Tuesday evening that the former president will appear in Perry, Ga., on Sept. 25 and then in Des Moines, Iowa, on Oct. 9.

The rallies come as speculation mounts...

It's difficult to take a writer seriously when the first sentence includes a phrase like this:

...as he looks to maintain his tight grip on the GOP base.

Great news. Thanks!

I appreciate having things to look forward to. It’s one of the 3 keys to being happy.

What's wrong with that statement? It appears neutral to me. Trump does have a tight grip on the base and I have to assume he wants to maintain a tight grip, which is why the rallies exist in the first place or one of the ways he keeps in the public eye. There is much that happens behind the scenes, too, but he needs to also be public.

The behind the scenes is building his influence in local and state republican committees, etc. which is a lot of work and depends on people showing up at local city/county republican meetings and voting for local party positions, etc etc etc. These rallies can help facilitate that cause. I assume his grip on these folks is not as great as the base as a whole, but he should be stronger than he was a few years ago even though he "lost" the election. So I think the statement is fair and accurate.

I recognize you may have a completely different interpretation.

Amen to that.

Now that we have college football back in full force….President Trump should schedule some rallies in stadiums….I’d love to see 70-100,000 supporters at every event….would drive the commies crazy 😁
