President Donald Trump will forgo some of his presidential duties and begin holding two rallies a day to bolster Republicans’ chances of keeping control of Congress.

CBS correspondent Major Garrett reported on Tuesday that a caravan of migrants heading to the U.S. border was actually hurting Republicans in states like California.

“In House races and maybe in the most important place for House races, California, it works against the president and Republican interests,” Garrett explained on CBS This Morning. “You can’t think of this issue as all or nothing. It is a base mobilizer in certain places, it may hurt [Republicans] in other places.”

According to Garrett, the upcoming election resembled a national election more than a midterm election in terms of voter participation because Trump has made it about himself.

1. He'll be exhausted...

I hope he can rest up a bit, maybe get some golf in?

[Baitball Blogger]

5. Or maybe save some time by supersizing at the drive-thrus?

[marylandblue]

2. Well he really wasn't doing his duties anyway.

[leftyladyfrommo]

6. How is this any different than what he always does?

He will probably be remembered for playing the most golf of any American politician ever.

[Hortensis]

16. No, he hasn't. Instead, he's been extremely harmful.

And, apparently he now thinks he can excite those red in tooth and claw to the polls by restarting his viciously cruel border kidnappings and incarcerations of refugee children.

Btw, I read that a bunch of "unaccompanied" children recently transferred from smaller homes to internment camps in the Texas desert are not being provided schooling.

Let's really hope these recurrent demonstrations of promised evil backfire.

3. Trump is "presidential"? NT

[vlyons]

4. Oh boy, his lies and bullshit will get even more outrageous

You just watch. As night after night, the media shows lines of people in early voting, as percentage of early voting increases over 2016 numbers, as polls show Dems leading in pivotal races, his lies and blustering will get more and more outrageous. There is no filter, no gate between his evil dark deluded mind and his mouth.

7. That 10% tax cut for the middle class he pulled out of his ass will suddenly become 12 or 15%......

With that lying POS the tale always grows taller on down the line.

8. He's evil, but he's smart

he knows if he keeps showing his face to his cult, they'll get riled up for midterms.

[spanone]

9. NOT smart...ruthless...like a serial killer

[MariaCSR]

10. Yeah that.

[NoMoreRepugs]

11. Until the MSM grows a spine and begins reporting all the

King tRumpy lies every day as LIES versus simply printing what he says not much will change.

13. Don't know what channel you watch

I have been going back and forth between CNN and MSNBC and they both seem to be pointing out trumps likes, especially CNN. Now I know some here have been slamming CNN for some reason, but they are doing a very good job of taking on trumps lies. I admit I don't watch MSNBC as much, but when I do they also are pointing out his lies.

I also admit I don't watch the news shows 24/7, I have better things to do, but they are not letting him slide on this.

12. He has "duties"?

Maybe someone should explain to us what that would entail, exactly.

More like “doodys”.

[greymattermom]

14. He keeps repeating things.

Like maybe his line about 401Ks. That will cause even his followers to think. Maybe.

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. Gosh, I hope it doesn't affect his health.

[hatrack]

17. So basically SSDD

.

[Ms. Toad]

18. I was sure this was a story from the onion

He couldn't actually be so brazen as to publically declare that campaigning for other politicians was more important than running the country.

We ought to at least be able to dock his salary for the days he's not even pretending to be president.

[spanone]

19. 'forgo his 'presidential duties' Bwahahahahahahaaaaaa

what duties?
