Trump on rally blitz as he tries to stave off Dem gains

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON — 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 Corey 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.

Start with a few derisive nicknames, mix in some dreamy-eyed reminiscences of Election Night 2016, spice things up with an unexpected quip or zinger out of left field and you've got Trump's recipe for a successful campaign rally.

Trump's rallies once were the cornerstone of an unconventional, star-powered presidential campaign that eschewed traditional organizing and defied every expectation. Now they're being deployed with gusto as Trump and his team work frantically to defy polls and precedent and save his Republican majority in Congress in November's midterm elections.

He loves his Nuremberg rallies.

1. A "star-powered presidential campaign"?

2. Not sure what that's supposed to mean.

What a ridiculous adjective to use for that.

3. If by "star-powered" they mean the likes of Ted Nugent, Meat Loaf, James Wood

and, of course, Kanye West. Big stars like that.

4. I would love to see an SNL spoof of these silly-ass rallies.

They are predictable, childish, and unconnected to reality. It would be delicious.

6. Bloodbath indeed. They will go down in defeat everywhere. People are sick and tired of ...

rump and his mouth, and a do nothing Congress. Their time is up. They have had enough time and look at what little they have done.

The biggest thing to award their donors, no one else (opps, maybe some businesses too, but the vast majority of us hasn't seen anything on our paychecks, and if anything, our paychecks are buying less because everything is going up, despite the big tax cuts businesses got (and they are not giving it back to us, but awarding their investors (again, despite the record high stock market))).

Vote pls. Pretty please?!
