President Trump on Saturday campaigned in Ohio for Republican state Sen. Troy Balderson ahead of a special House election next week, saying the Democratic opponent is controlled by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and favors open borders.
Running against the Trump-backed candidate is Democrat Danny O’Connor. Earlier Saturday, the president described O'Connor in a tweet as “a puppet” for Pelosi, “weak on Crime, Borders & your 2nd Amendment,” with a goal of raising taxes.
Before welcoming Balderson onstage, Trump described him as “really smart” and “a really hard worker” who would “fight for Ohio.”
Balderson promised to “fight alongside” the president on a variety of issues, and dubbed his opponent “Dishonest Danny O’Connor.”
“Dishonest Danny O’Connor wants to repeal those middle-class tax cuts. Dishonest Danny O’Connor wants to take away your guns. Dishonest Danny supports open borders and sanctuary cities,” Balderson argued. “Dishonest Danny O’Connor will fight against the policies that are turning our country around. And worst of all, Dishonest Danny O’Connor will vote for Nancy Pelosi for speaker.”

This is a Special Election when the scheduled election is in Nov.? What’s with that?
LS, you are the poll tracker here. The latest poll closed this to 1 point. BS or real?
Please check out replay of the Ohio speech........at 25% playback speed....just like on Hannity show last week....at 33:13 and 33:42 POTUS SAYS PRISONER OBAMA!
He says President Obama
I get pretty tired of correcting the English language in these situations but it is not “the Democratic” azzhole running. It’s a DEMOCRAT. Sorry but the idiots need to get it right. Words have meaning folks.
We’ll find out Tuesday pray 4 victory
Fully agree! There is nothing Democratic about the leftists. The party should only be called the Democrat Party.
I hope he wins ..
BS. Source tells me 7, another said 10, both were BEFORE the Trump visit.
Hope your sources are right, FNC is making a huge deal out of the 1 point thing. Basically say even a win is a loss.
PS; I don’t think the Hendrix is needed for your tag. Axis was the first album I bought with my own money
Frankly, I was underwhelmed by Balderson, however, that said, no way I would ever vote for another Democrat rubber stamp!

Yup, I’m in this district and I can tell you Balderson has got to be the worst campaigner I’ve ever seen. Honestly, Saturday evening at the Trump rally was the first time I saw him actually talk. Most of his commercials are narrator slamming O’Connor.
That being said...I will crawl to the polls if I have to, to vote for Balderson. The alternative is unacceptable.
Of course if O’Connor pulls off the miracle win, the media will be breathlessly reporting how this is the beginning of the blue wave. Bullsh*t. If Balderson loses it will because he is such a horrible candidate and couldn’t bring out the masses. Also, if this district is in trouble, like the media loves to portray, then tell me why is O’Connor’s commercials pro-Trump? He actually talks about working with Trump and voting against Pelosi. He literally comes off almost as a republican light...Kasich-esque.
