President Donald Trump plans to attend the LSU-Alabama football game Saturday afternoon, an event coincidentally occurring on the last day of early voting in the Louisiana gubernatorial election runoff.
Trump is stumping aggressively for Republican Eddie Rispone, trying to give him an edge over incumbent Gov. John Bel Edwards (D-LA). Trump wants a Republican victory all the more after Gov. Matt Bevin (R-KY) apparently fell to his Democratic challenger despite Trump’s best efforts.
Trump already held a rally in Monroe, Louisiana earlier this week.
According to the most recent polling, the race is extremely close, with Edwards having a slight lead. Edwards has successfully navigated the deep redness of the state by holding conservative views on abortion and gun rights intermixed with more traditional Democratic positions.
What’s up with Trump all of a sudden making public appearances in big public arenas? Nothing for three years, now this. He decided he’s done being President and just wants to enjoy some sports?
The search for a boo-less crowd continues. Perhaps here he will be cheered. Then again, if he is greeted with boos here maybe he should just shoot himself.
I guess the WH staff need another break from the madness of having him in DC.
If I had tickets, I’d invite Jeff Sessions as my guest. For the one and only time.
Maybe Roy Moore too. After all, the cheerleaders are probably at least 18, so safe from him.
What a choice Republicans have in Alabama. A racist and failed AG or an alleged pedophile and failed judge.
Given his cowardly record so far, he’d be more likely to order his own shooting by tweet.
