Rallies have been mainstay of president’s brand but even some in his own party fear voters are sick of the sight of him “Get your asses in that car.” That was Donald Trump’s order, he later recalled, to his motorcade after foul weather grounded Air Force One in Texas on Thursday. The 85-mile dash to Oklahoma at nearly 100mph was proof that nothing can keep Trump from a Trump rally. Which might not be the good news for Republicans it once was. As the US president embarked on a 32-day campaign blitz aimed at ...

Who pays for these rallies? The Republican party or tax payers? Because he only does them in red states and it's basically just advertising like the stupid TV ad he paid for with tax payer money.

    We can only hope that any association with him craters a lot of conservative campaigns.

    These people deserve each other - they are the asshats that put this washed-up never-was on a pedestal and if he now drags them down with them, that'd be great.

    I love your comment, but I wish people would stop trying to rehab these people. You're only harming yourselves, it's like beating your head against a brick wall. This whole episode has taught the worst of these people nothing and they will continue to act in the way that they already did. The reality is, even though he's a shitty stupid president, they loved the things that he did and he got them closer to their ideal society than they have ever been 🤮

    No one should feel satisfaction winning a battle of wits against unarmed assailants - but there needs to be answers to magat-philosophies that can be constructive and enlightening to give chance a chance, that these dyed-in-wool fascists can come around to some form of society-lifting ideals rather than what they've adopted as practice over the last 40+ years as their chest beating cognitive dissonance they've catharcized upon the masses currently - if violence can be answered with something other than violence - do so and in spades - but if not, well, there are democratically ordained constitutional remedies for that burden - please urge your state senators to meet illegitimate ice with their barely legal pol-ice. So that the communities can be spared the need to address these criminal injustices at the hands of the greedy and corrupt - through ever diminishing options

    I'm sure they'd fucking love to hide from that incontinent fucking pedophile now... I'd rather shove him right back down their throats.
