Trump Midterm Roadshow Alarms GOP-Dems Thrilled

Trump Injects Himself Into Midterms With Rallies, Leaks About 2024

Many Republicans had hoped the ex-president, who is under criminal investigation and attempted a coup, would keep a low profile.

Democrats who had hoped to make the midterms yet another election about Donald Trump will get one last chance as the former president spends the final days holding a flurry of rallies and making a pre-announcement of his plans to run for the White House again in 2024.

Trump, who is under criminal investigation by prosecutors in Washington, D.C., and Atlanta, told an Iowa rally audience Thursday night that he “very, very, very probably” would run again. He followed up with leaks to news outlets Friday that he would likely announce on Nov. 14 ― the the day the House committee investigating his mob’s Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol demanded that he sit for a sworn deposition.

Many Republicans, aware that Trump is deeply unpopular in the suburban areas where they are hoping to pick up House seats and which would deliver the swing votes in key Senate races, had hoped he would keep a low profile until after Election Day.

“If there is one thing Trump has proved over and over again, there is only one person he cares about electing, and that’s him,” said Rory Cooper, a Republican consultant and aide to former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

because she “bashed” this country. This was the same day that Trump said the country is “evil.”

Which makes him the "perfect Republican candidate who can be controlled and manipulated what to say by his handlers", as stated by Joy Reid when she held her show in Georgia. Joy Reid was correct.

That famous statue shows the player giving someone the big stiff arm.

That's what Walker is doing to the voters of Georgia.

I wanted to get away from all the right wing shit today, and enjoy some amazing Football games. Really excited about my daughters Alum Tennessee at Georgia. And damnit if all the morning pregame shows needed to keep showing Walker at Georgia. Three days before the election and all the Walker pumping up made me suck.
Go Vols and damnit stop the Walker history class. That “black history offends this white American”, when use to get him appointed to the Senate.

Best laugh of the day. The GOP is dumber than I thought if they had some notion that a supreme narcissist could ever keep a low profile.

About as likely as him seeing jail time.
But if he does, there should be a 24/7 video cam accessible to all so we can WATCH him rot. All the air time he wants. For us, on demand, for a laugh and brighten a day we may be a little down.

Convince them that since the machines switch their votes from R to D, they should vote all D to double cross the rigging.

We can hope that the DoJ will announce charges against the former president on Wednesday, right after the polls close in Hawaii. That will be before many of us have our first cup of coffee but hearing that happened would make my coffee that much better.

He’ll NEVER go into low-profile mode. He’s an attention junkie. He’s the center of his known universe but that’s it enough to satisfy his avarice for the spotlight. He wants - and expects - to be the center of EVERYBODY’s universe. And he’ll accept no substitutes.

I keep mumbling either “why aren’t you in jail already?” and “can’t you just die already?” whenever I see his hideous phony-tan-painted face.
