Donald Trump gets a warm welcome from victims of the Baton Rouge flood as he toured the devastation with Republican nominee for Vice President Mike Pence.

"We knew you would be here, Mr. Trump," one woman yells to the candidate. "We knew you would be here for us!"

The irony of ironies, and a perfect opportunity to stick his finger in the eyes of Americans, would be for Obama to play golf on a Trump course.

On radio news, the pathetic Dim governor of Louisiana was giving the excuse for Obama not being there that they would never allow to be aired for Bush during Katrina; a presidential visit would disrupt relief and rescue efforts too much. He didn’t explain why Obama has had nothing to say about the disaster in Baton Rouge.

The Dims and their MSM are low life, hypocritical scum beyond description.

What is Huckabee talking up Clinton for?

Because they likely enjoyed many tag-teams together

I kind of like it. It shows Trump in STARK contrast to Hillary! and Obama. Heck, even the impeached, disbarred President Bill Clinton was Presidential enough to visit flood/storm ravaged people. His own WIFE and the current White House occupant can't get it right.

It shows that, contrary to the popular meme, Hillary! doesn't even measure up to her husband...

Will be hard for the local news not to cover this.

People will see, word will get out.

I know, I was talking to my 72 year old father this morning and he said, “What’s his name of Homeland Security said Obama is too busy to get down here. Everybody knows he’s on Martha’s Vineyard playing golf. Give me a f***ing break!!!” LOL!!!

The best example I can give is:

When I was in Navy boot camp, it was 9 PM (or 2100 hours) when a whole bunch of us started showing signs of food poisoning. All of us that were getting sick (most of my 80 man company) were issued barf bags and bussed over to the hospital. When we got there, we were put into a triage area with several hundred other people. Every doctor and corpsman were called-in, and even medics from other bases were there to help.

It actually made me feel a lot better to see the base commander (a one-star admiral) there showing some command presence and doing what he could, which was taking direction from the senior doctor there, helping out, and going around talking to us guys that were down.

He wasn’t a doctor. He didn’t actually DO anything really, but it was comforting to us to see him there showing some command presence. He was in dress blue uniform because he was at a command function and left it to come over to the hospital. He didn’t just sit there at his cotillion slurping a champagne coulee and saying, “Eh, they got it covered.” It was cool of him to actually show up.

You know it some one has the words AND the music.

Trump means what he says and says what he means.

Hillary can’t tour the flood sites. There’s not a handrail she can hold on to in the flood areas.

That sounds like the lame-o New Orleans mayor that sat in Baton Rouge getting drunk during the Katrina aftermath. IIRC, he wound up in jail for awhile.
