Why did Trump go to New Mexico??

[kentuck]

I think the polls show him about thirty points behind?

So, what did he hope to accomplish?

What was the message he was trying to send?

Is he worried that Valerie Plame is going to kick his ass?

Did he want to try out the "gun issue" to see how people react? (Maybe it's not as big an issue as they had hoped?)

From what I heard of his speech, it was mostly just a bunch of rambling nonsense.

1. Putin told him to.....

[unblock]

2. if donnie is traveling, there's grift involved somewhere.

i'm sure new mexico has a few billionaire republican donors willing to line his pockets....

3. Those rallies are his cocaine fix!

He lives for entertaining the audience and their reactions.

4. When Trump holds rallies, he talks OVER people, not to them.

Unlike the Democrats who are listening and talking to people, Trump talks over them and spews LIES. They clap, hold signs in support, nod like Stepford minions.

Trump does not know how to hold in person and personal Town Halls. He feels more comfortable with NUMBERS and adoration. This shows how INSECURE he really is.

5. He's acting like he's working on winning that state

So when he does 'win' it he'll look like a genius. This is a setup for monkeying around with the election there to give him a win.

15. I believe this is the correct answer

Remember all those late trips Trump made in 2016 to allegedly "hopeless" states that somehow found their way into his column on election night? As October gave way to November in 2016, I remember thinking, "Let him campaign in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. No way he's gonna win those states." Surprise!

It worked once, why not run the same play again?

16. I don't trust this election process one bit anymore

Democracy is pretty much dead sad to say. They'll make it 'close enough' to look legit but it isn't.

6. Is the Epstein Ranch closed down?

Maybe Trump was feeling nostalgic.

7. So if he wins with a rigged vote he can claim victory because he was so smart

8. Two theories

1. Trump or someone running strategy really thinks this state could be in play. His ego will not allow him to think anything else. It also is a stick in the eye to Democrats to show that he'll take it to their home turf. Fool's errand in my mind.

2. Consiracy theory. The fix is in and he'll miraculaously "win" the state. The visit is a set-up so it doesn't look too obvious and he can point to his "prescence" to winning over the state, when in reality, it was stolen.

9. Interesting

and probable.

[no_hypocrisy]

10. Theory #3:

He HAD TO have a rally on the same night as Elizabeth Warren in Washington Square in NYC, his home turf. And no other venue was available Monday night.

No more complicated than that.

[Wellstone ruled]

14. You nailed it.

BTW,Warren's Crowd was several times larger. And the Corporate Media still likes Donnie,he is good for their bottom line.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

13. Brad Parscale (Trump's Digital Media Manager?)

is supposedly pushing him into this because *something* tells him that he could potentially win NM

[BSdetect]

11. He wants the payment for his wall from those Mexicans.

[duforsure]

12. He'll go anywhere

To lied to people to generate more campaign funding that'll likely find it way into his pockets.
