Trump rally in must-win PA.
Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said Monday her administration has actually done more to help New Mexico workers and families than Trump’s administration has, by signing legislation to increase the state’s $7.50 per hour minimum wage and increase renewable energy requirements.
But Trump said Monday the country already has the “cleanest air we’ve ever had” and said the Green New Deal, a sweeping plan to combat climate change, will take cows, airplanes and cars away.
“A vote for any Democrat in 2020 is a vote for radical socialism and the destruction of the American Dream,” Trump said.
During Monday’s rally, at least two protesters were escorted from the arena to a chorus of boos.
“Good night,” Trump said, waving as one protester was escorted away. “The media will say mass protests.”
“...and our love will surely grow.”
Trump rally in must-win PA.
Bush won New Mexico in 2004 after losing it the first time around. Trump can do the same thing in 2020.
Found a pic of the YUGE rally at UNR last Friday at this link. Hundreds of supporters? Uh, maybe dozens?
I grew up in New Mexico. It is special for me even though I really haven’t been back. Did you know? That New Mexico was 90% Mexican and 90% of the people there spoke no English when it became a state? That those people were all farmers and ranchers, there was no other industry. They were all Catholic, obviously and the church in Santa Fe is IIRC the oldest in the Western Hemisphere. You should really see the spiral staircase.
Did you know? That it was chosen for it’s isolation and isolated population for the Manhattan Project (of course you did). That because of that project and BLM/National Forest management that the Federal Government has been the largest employer in the state since the state was just a couple decades old. To this day I would bet that is the case. So look at New Mexico by County. Counties where industry is the largest employer vote GOP. Counties where the Fed Gov is the largest employer vote Rat.
Did you know? That water is the limiting resource everywhere but in Arizona and New Mexico it is particularly relevant. The central portion of the state is geologically a large Rift Valley filled with rubble. There is water down there but New Mexicans have been pumping it up for decades at well above replacement rates. IOW New Mexico CAN”T grow. In fact, it probably can’t hold the population it has.
The town I grew up in is beginning to have dangerous sink holes from pumping huge volumes of water up for industry. Industry that doesn’t exist anymore. Because the water became a problem.
Lots of interesting things one can learn about New Mexico.
Trump + Gary Johnson outperformed Hillary in the following states she won: Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire and New Mexico (but not Virginia). All of these states (including Virginia) should be “in play” next year.
Oh put a sock in it, Michelle.
