rtump Says He'll Stump for Vulnerable Republicans 'Six or Seven Days a Week'

WASHINGTON — President Trump said Friday that he plans to spend almost all of his time this fall campaigning for the most vulnerable Republican congressional candidates in the midterm elections, a strategy that would have him in many districts where endangered lawmakers in his own party regard him as a liability.

In a friendly radio interview with Sean Hannity, the conservative Fox News host with whom he shares a close relationship, Mr. Trump said he was confident the strength of the economy and the demise of the Islamic State would boost the fortunes of Republicans in this fall’s contests, and that he would personally work to pull lawmakers facing tough re-election challenges to victory.

“I am going to work very hard,” Mr. Trump said during the interview. “I’ll go six or seven days a week when we’re 60 days out, and I will be campaigning for all of these great people that do have a difficult race, and we think we’re going to bring them over the line.”

Though he does seem to have some kind of chemical addiction to the reactions he elicits from his crowds.

His mouth will keep him in hot water since he lies so much. He wants to be the center of attention and I'll bet
a bunch of Democrats will be more than happy obliging him and keep him busy covering his butt.

I hope someone is watching who is paying for these expensive trips. We know he nor the GOP can be trusted. Is there somewhere one can check to see how much expense he's racked up while campaigning? That would be interesting.

when will he have time for golf?

And isn't there some Presidential business to be done between golf outings?

To say nothing about how he'll energize the opposition.

He's so delusional he really thinks that having his support is a positive. As we have seen in other races, it isn't. At best it makes for no difference in turn out, but usually hangs around the candidates neck like an albatross.

He probably thinks there are 10 or 14 days in a week and doing something 7 days means doing it about half the time
