White House gears up campaigning for PA special election

GREENSBURG, Pa. (AP) — Fighting to stave off another special election embarrassment, the White House is strengthening its final-days offensive in western Pennsylvania.

President Donald Trump has long been scheduled to rally voters on Saturday behind Republican congressional candidate Rick Saccone, a state representative whose underwhelming campaign has some Washington-based Republicans fearing the worst. It will be the president's second visit to the district on Saccone's behalf. Daughter Ivanka Trump appeared with Saccone in a separate visit last month as well and praised him as "a champion" for Republican priorities.

The national GOP confirmed late Wednesday that Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway would visit the region on Thursday and the president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., would campaign for Saconne on Monday, the eve of the election.

The high-profile reinforcements from the president's orbit were welcomed by Saccone, who has wholeheartedly embraced Trump in his message to Pennsylvania's 18th Congressional District, a region that extends from the Pittsburgh suburbs to West Virginia that Trump carried by nearly 20 percentage points in 2016. With the election just days away, polls suggest that Saccone is essentially tied with Democrat Conor Lamb, a Marine and former federal prosecutor who has never before run for office.

I saw ‘PA’ and I thought, Palestinian Authority. I thought, was the last year and a half just a dream and the Kenyan usurper was still in charge? OH THE HORROR!

Republicans, Conservatives, Independents, Blue Dog Democrats & all Trump Supporters, Women, Coal Miners, Steel & Aluminum Workers, Blue Collar Workers, First Responders, Police, Military Folk, Middle Class American Families,, African-Americans, Hispanics, Auto Workers, Young Folks, Old Folks, Inbetween Folks, etc., just remember, if you vote for Republican, Rick Saccone, and, he wins, in one fell swoop you will have destroyed the Democrat Party going into the upcoming Mid-Term elections.

Bottom Line....support the upcoming POTUS, Trump Political Rally, this coming Saturday evening in the Pittsburgh, PA, suburbs and then come election day, next Tuesday, get out and vote in massive numbers, voting for and supporting Republican, Rick Saccone, the Trump choice to become your Congress Critter.

The key action is: “Turnout, Turnout, Turnout”!!! Do it and MAGA...with our great POTUS, Trump.

Can’t stress that turnout point enough.
The unions are working triple-overtime to get
Dems to the polls.

And for those who can afford it, donate to the best candidates so they don't have to overcome huge deficits to get their message out - getting ready to send some to Chris McDaniel as the dark forces are firing up the forge to defeat him again.
