Trump to-do list: Raise cash, deliver on policy, excite base

No coincidence, the visit places Trump in Nevada just as the Democratic candidates seeking to replace him are campaigning in the state ahead of Saturday’s party caucuses.

The Democrats’ Wednesday night debate in Las Vegas was scheduled to begin just as Trump will be speaking to his supporters at a rally in Phoenix.

He called former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg a “pathetic debater” who “doesn’t respect our great farmers” and accused him of using his campaign cash to make “‘payoffs’ all over the place.” Bloomberg, who is making his maiden appearance on the Democratic debate stage, has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on campaign ads attacking the president.

We must change the Constitution so only citizens born in the USA can hold any government position of any kind.
