Trump is too scared to campaign where Americans didn't vote for him

According to travel documents, Trump has studiously avoided making visits to areas where he might be unpopular.

As Republicans struggle to hold on to their majorities in Congress, Trump is staying far away from the swing and Democratic counties where he might be unpopular — and focusing instead on holding rallies for his sycophantic supporters in deep-red areas.

NBC reports that according to Air Force One travel records, “The president’s itinerary so far has taken him largely to heavily Republican parts of GOP-leaning states and districts to help Republicans who are loyal to his cause.”

Out of a dozen “Make America Great Again” rallies Trump has held since Labor Day, just two of them were held in counties he lost in 2016, NBC reports.

And Trump has mostly traveled to areas where he’s very popular. The average Trump margin of victory in states he’s campaigned in is 20 points. He has also visited five counties where he won more than 60 percent of the vote.

I hope the people in Northern Minnesota wake-up to the fact that he will fuck you over...............if the copper mine comes to fruition, all of that money goes to the Ivanka partner in Chile...................

1. he's not really interested in meeting people or gotv where he actually holds his rallies

he's interested in ratings.

after all, his goal in life is big ratings.

2. Don the snowflake eom

3. There will come a time when he is not going to be able to go anywhere, when his so called ...

policies start hurting everyday Americans and see the truth in his policies, all for big business, all for businesses for that matter, and no one else. Look at the evidence already. He's a coward too, unable to face his accusers face on, and attempt any kind of communications.

4. I thought copper was near worthless

Maybe it's making a big comeback and they need a place with no regulations to mine it?

9. Copper is still huge in electronics and wires...

not everything has gone fiber optic. You can't transmit electrical power down fiber optic cable.

Lots of uses in industry as well.

5. Yep

He only cares about the less than 30% who voted for him. He knows they will not turn on him.

6. to trump, the only america that matters are the areas that voted for him....

The other parts can go to hell.

7. And only rural areas. Imagine trying a rally in NYC,

Or even Memphis or Atlanta.
I don’t believe it would go well.

On the other hand he has been to the Tri-cities area of TN twice, Mike Pants has been to East TN.
Only in the red strongholds, no questions come up ‘round there in them woods.
The reds need the state of Tennessee.
I hope they lose it!

10. he's too much of a coward to go to either coast or any big city

Someone ought to rewrite the lyrics to Heart of Rock and Roll by Huey Lewis & the News. Call it Heart of Trumpland. Remove all the references to LA, NY, Seattle, Boston and insert a bunch of towns in TN and KY.

8. Well he'd better stay away from my house, or I'll sic the Dogs on him.

They've got all their shots, and will be dosed with antibiotics to cover anything they might catch from mauling the shitgibbon.
