Trump to hold campaign rally in New Mexico

[left-of-center2012]

President Trump’s reelection campaign announced Friday he will hold a rally in Rio Rancho, N.M. on Sept. 16 at the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho, a multipurpose facility that says it seats approximately 6,000 for hockey and rodeos and up to 7,500 for concerts.

“We have seen an economic boom in New Mexico since President Trump took office. While President Obama lost 1,900 jobs, President Trump has added 34,600 jobs in the state,” said Michael Glassner, Chief Operating Officer of the Trump campaign. “President Trump has delivered on his promises, and he looks forward to celebrating those successes with the great men and women of New Mexico.”

Trump will face an uphill battle in New Mexico, known as the Land of Enchantment – the state went for Hillary Clinton in 2016 by over 8 points and voted for Barack Obama both in 2008 and 2012.

The state also has a heavy Latin American population, with Hispanics making up 46.4 percent of the entire state, and borders Mexico, making it a prime staging ground for a fight over the administration’s hardline immigration policies.

1. He is due back in Wheeling WV hasn't been here in

a few weeks. Bob Murray needs another $5000 a plate dinner for him. When I first saw that I read Mexico they would give him a proper rally.

2. Is there a hurricane headed that way?

3. New Mexico? Why not just add Boulder and Portland to the list?

Maybe he can rev up his support in New York City and Berkley while he's at it . . .

5. "One of my best friends is from New Mexico! His name is Juan, I think. Maybe it's Pedro.

I'm pretty sure it's Juan. But it might be Pedro. He's from New Mexico. Flagstaff, I think. Or maybe El Paso. Or Needles -- it's probably Needles. He just loves the taco bowls at the Trump Tower Grill. People come from all over the world to try our taco bowls. Pedro says -- I think that's his name -- Pedro -- or Juan. He says he just loves my taco bowls. Good friend. Very very good friend. So we're building a wall. You may have heard about it. It's to help my very good friends Juan and Pedro. In fact, Juan called me on the phone to thank me. I just got off the phone with him. Very good friend. Pedro. Or Juan. Whatever his name is"

7. Was Juan crying?

Isn't Juan a "very powerful man, a very strong man who was weeping when he called"?

9. It all has to do with oil and gas - mostly new construction tied to the fracking boom

So the polluted air from fracking in the southern part of the state is making it's way up the state. Now we have some ozone problems starting. Nothing mega like Phoenix, but it's beginning to F@#K with our air.

However, NM is very blue.

[lunatica]

11. Yeah, solid blue New Mexico will welcome him.

He gonna have to pay Texans to go to his rally.

13. The southern part of NM is predominately Republican

Although 2018 saw a Democrat boot out the GOP US Representative Steve King, now state head of the NM GOP.
We also had a GOP Tea Party governor for 8 years until 2018.

However Trump is having his rally in Democratic northern NM.
In a 6,000 to 7,500 seat concert hall.
