    I hope the revenue from the rental helps Tillman pay for some defense.

    Why dafuq does Two Scoops need so many red state rallies? Weird.

    I guess the more time he spends away from DC and Mueller, the better for him.

    It's not for his benefit really (though it seems he really enjoys the rally's), it's for Cruz.

    Texas is somewhat in play and Trump is coming to invigorate the base to get out and vote.

    Prominent Democratic and Republican politicians both do this all the time.

    Keeping control of Congress is important. Hes trying to help keep the Republican resurgence that started with the Kavanaugh confirmation going strong until 11/6/18. Plus, he really enjoys campaigning.

    An older fat white guy. He will fit right in with Texas Republicans. Rejoice!

    it's synergistic that Trump, his handlers and his GOP enablers have spent the last few weeks tripling down on his toxic, xenophobic racist bullshit and are planning on spewing some more at the Toyota Center.

    After all, if we see an immigrant in a Rockets uniform, be he African, Asian, or even....Muslim ,we pretty much go straight to hanging the guy! That must have appealed to Miller, Neilsen, etc:

    But on the bright side, maybe Kevin McHale will return to the Toyota Center, that will be super fun!

    I'm OK with Trumpy and the boys playing defense in Alabama/Georgia/Texas.

    Less time spent in swing states the better.

    Only thing he seems to enjoy is stirring up controversy and being unpresidential.

    He's been to Montana 3 times in less than 2.5 months...a state with about 1 million folks.

    Oh, and we also have a very vulnerable Incumbent Democrat Senator John Tester up for re-election (3 point margin before Kavanaugh nonsense)

    It isn't really about the rally. It's simply a chance for Trump to stroke his own ego. He loves talking in front of adoring crowds. That's it.

    I hope that the depth perception doesn’t bother Donald and Tes.
