Trump on rally blitz as he tries to stave off Dem gains [gains??]
Associated Press ^ | Oct. 14, 2018 8:50 AM EDT | Jill Colvin

President Donald Trump gazes out over his rally crowd and looses a stream of insults with a theatrical flourish and playful grin. He jabs at Cory Booker the “disaster” mayor, Elizabeth Warren the “Pocahontas” pretender and “sleepy” Joe Biden.

“I want to be careful,” Trump tells the crowd, feigning a confession. He doesn’t want to hit his potential challengers too badly, he says, because then the Democrats may find “somebody that’s actually good to run against me. That would not be good.”

The venue may be Council Bluffs, Iowa, or Erie, Pennsylvania, or Topeka, Kansas, but the formula is largely the same. […]

Trump has been aggressively campaigning across the county to try to boost vulnerable Republicans before the Nov. 6 elections, when the stakes couldn’t be higher. A Democratic takeover of Congress would stymie his agenda and mire his administration in endless investigations, including possible impeachment proceedings. Trump’s team believes his appearances fire up his loyal base, countering the wave of Democratic enthusiasm that polls suggest will lead to significant Democratic gains, especially in the House. …

After much wordiness, all Colvin can look to is fake polls again.

More biased Fake News.

Trump is a General who leads from the front.

Elsewhere in the screed Colvin rehashes the “lackluster polls” lie too. Guess she doesn’t want to look at the Rasmussen numbers.

The polls supposedly point to significant dem claims “especially in the House.” Except for the fact polls have always indicated republican gains in the Senate. There is no “especially in House”.

Even the MSM knows their party is fading, but they have to project that the Dems are still in good shape to rally their troops and to get the squishes on our side to get frustrated!

I don’t see Dem gains in the House. Certainly some may try to squeeze in via fraudulent means; after all, Stacey Abrams said as much when she claimed her “blue wave” includes “documented and undocumented”, so results from such areas (many gerrymandered still) have to be challenged at every turn.

Lol. Dem gains?

Republicans are going to pick up SeaCats in both houses. Probably looking at 60+ in the Senate. Anything else is fake news or libtard propaganda.

She look familiar to you?

My take on her appearance is Marie Harf with no makeup and expanded horizontally a bit.

Nope.

Not even on my drunkest night does she look familiar.

Feral maybe...

Yep...Trump sends out the National Guard to round up people, and make the tens of thousands of them wait in line to attend his rallies.

Then he forces the assembled crowd to chant “USA, USA...”, and to clamor just for a glimpse of him.

Trump is not running for re-election in November, but he’s out there promoting various Republican candidates; he even says something like, “...now here’s the person we’re all here for tonight...”, and then hands over the podium to a GOP Congressional hopeful and let’s the speak.

Meanwhile, dim candidates struggle to assemble enough people for a barack obama basketball team.

Dims are very comfortable in doing what they do, they just have a problem being called out on it. Trump has no qualms about pointing out the absurdity and stupidity of democrats, and their mob mentality. Or the Pelosi, Schuemer, Waters cabal of ‘leadership’, slowly sinking the party into the abyss.

Jealousy and envy exudes from every pore of dims and jouralists over these rallies, and there’s not much they can do about it. The fake news media is always there to try and snippet some morsel of his speech they can pretzel into something bad, but the beauty of it is, WE, the people, can hear directly what Trump says - word for word - making it really hard for the libs to spin...add that to his Tweets, and he’s effectively neutered the MSM.

I love the rallies, even though they follow a similar, and sometimes predictable pattern, that’s what advertising is, repetition. That’s how “Geico” got to be a household name, hundreds of plays of their commercials a day, over and over. I spent over 20 years writing and producing advertising spots, so I’m fairly familiar with the drill.

Trump has them flummoxed, and they’re walking in circles like one foot is nailed to the floor. It’s entertaining, to say the least.

Trump is trying to build a majority. Not achieve one.

“Sleepy” Biden? I call him “Chuckles” because of his debate where all he cold do is laugh in response to serious statements and show off his eerily white choppers.

A “president Hillary” won’t have his stamina and media like AP will cover up for her.
