The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Harm to Ongoing Matter - Page 295 - Politics and Economics

“A young man who's got very little going for himself except he's got a great first name. He challenged us. We have say 35,000 people tonight, and he has, say, 200 people, 300 people," Trump said while speaking at at a campaign rally in El Paso. "Not too good. In fact what I would do, that may be the end of his presidential bid."

The El Paso County Coliseum seats about 11,000 people, according to NBC News. Trump said earlier in the evening that about 10,000 people were inside and thousands more watching on screens outside.

Trump also later claimed that the media would not acknowledge the disparity between the two rallies.

“They will say Beto O’Rourke - that’s his last name, right, O’Rourke? - had a wonderful rally of about 15 people," he said.

Bloomberg News reported that O'Rourke's rally drew between 10,000 and 15,000 people.

What's the over/under of the percentage of people at this clan meeting who have ever traveled in an airplane? 10%? What about the percentage who have been to Europe...1%? You can tell that line fell a bit flat on the Texas deplorable crowd.

Porterfield lost his sight at 32 years old. He won’t say exactly what happened, but it was the result of trauma, and it occurred 12 years to the day before he took his oath of office.

“I can’t fully get into all the details of it, because there’s still some stuff pending on it, but a major altercation with a multitude of men ended up leaving me instantaneously blind on December the 10th, 2006,” he said.

I wonder what might have transpired in this altercation that makes him so reluctant to share any details. If I had to burn a lifeline I'd call Fly.

I guess we've finally discovered the sequel to, "Democrats are going to take away all your guns."

They’re working on it.

When the polls during Shutdown #1, the majority of the respondents blamed Orange Man for the shutdown. If there is Shutdown #2, there is a very good probability that he would be blamed even more resoundingly for it. Add to that the dissension with Repub Congress members who are hearing it from their constituents.

I would push the deal to the limit on Orange Man. Get as much as you can that will still get signed.

Plus, now if there’s another shutdown he owns it again, and if he declares the national emergency, he has a civil war in his party and it probably doesn’t work anyway. The dems played this perfectly IMO. Now they look like their resasonable negotiators who “compromised to avoid a shutdown” even though their compromise was really no such thing.

Also, candidly, the limit on beds thing was never going to work anyway, they would have found a way around it. And it sounds like they still limited beds for people detained at the border, they just didn’t for people detained from the interior of the country.
