Democrats debated in Michigan this week. Trump just wrapped up his rally in Ohio. And regular people in both states will now be focused on Justin Fields, Ryan Day, and Jim Harbaugh.
8:55 PM: Trump wraps up rally.
8:53 PM: Trump says we will always live by our motto: “In God we trust.” He says the future belongs to “the greatest movement in the history of our country.”
8:50 PM: He says, with Democrats, “there is no Second Amendment. You can forget about it.”
8:48 PM: Trump says “Sleepy Joe Biden” wants to “go back to sleep” after asking if Biden can do more for Ohio than he has…
Trump also vows to end the “AIDS epidemic in America” and cure childhood cancer.
8:45 PM: Trump promises to “win the race to Mars. It’s going to be amazing.”
8:40 PM: Trump says the drug system is “rigged.” Says he drugs should not be cheaper in Canada, Europe.
8:35 PM: Trump paints Democrats as the party of socialism. Says Republicans are the party of “freedom.”
8:25 PM: Trump says Democrats want “virtual immunity for illegal immigrants who have committed horrible crimes and murder.” Trump rips San Francisco, where Kate Steinle was murdered, for releasing a criminal illegal alien who then committed crimes. He talks about an illegal immigrant released after committing domestic violence in New Jersey who was arrested in Missouri for “the murder of three people.”
8:20 PM: Trump, sounding tough on China, says he is preventing the “theft” of jobs/intellectual property. He says China wants a Democrat “like Sleepy Joe Biden” who has “no clue what he’s doing” in the White House so they can rip America off.
8:16 PM: Trump goes heavy on trade and says the “era of economic surrender is over.” He rails against NAFTA and says TPP would have destroyed manufacturing and the auto industry.
8:15 PM: Wonder if Trump mentioned windmills FOUR times.
8:10 PM: Trump on Mueller:
8:00 PM: Trump says Pocahontas is “lying and cheating her way” to the presidency. He says “we drove her crazy” and she had to do a blood test.
7:58 PM: PROTESTERS HAD “CHINGA LA MIGRA” SIGNS:
7:51 PM: Trump mocks the “deplorable” conditions in Pelosi’s “once great city…” after he rips Democrats for wanting to spend more on migrants than helping their constituents. He then again goes after “Crooked Hillary” as the crowd chants “lock her up.”
He says nearly half of America’s homeless are in California and it’s a “disgrace” and a “shame.” He says look at Los Angeles with its horrible conditions. Trump says CA Gov. Newsom–“that governor”–wants to “invite the whole world” and give them free health care.
Trump now touts Voter ID laws. He asks Sen. Portman (R-OH) to start working on it. “Please, Rob.”
7:48 PM: Protesters interrupt speech. Trump asks: “Democrat mayor?… You must have a Democrat mayor…” He says “that’s what happens.”
7:46 PM: Trump says he is starting to like Mexico because they are doing more about illegal immigration than Democrats. He says Democrats put “foreign citizens before American citizens” and care more about illegal immigrants than their constituents.
7:42 PM: Trump mentions the Squad–“four left-wing extremists” leading the party. But he says he does not want to name failed cities run by Democrats because he doesn’t want to be “controversial”–“no controversy.” Trump talks about the “corrupt” inner cities led by Democrats that have failed.
7:40 PM: Trump says the U.S. has the “number one economy in the world.” He talks about a military that is, “relatively speaking” the strongest it has ever been. He talks about six million jobs since election day and seven million off of food stamps. He says Ohio is also the most successful it has ever been. He talks about record-low unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans. He says the “rage-filled” Democrats are trying to take America apart.
7:35 PM: Trump mocks Democrats. He said he watched both “long” debates. He says Democrats attacked each other more than they attacked him. That’s sure going to make Democrats even more thrilled with the cable networks and wonder if the game-show debates are actually doing more harm than good for the party.
7:30 PM: Trump takes the stage.
7:15 PM: Vice President Mike Pence gets on stage. He says the “campaign to keep America great is on” and it’s time for “round two.” He blasts Democrats for baking “late-term abortions” and even “infanticide.” He talks up Trump’s conservative judges and rips the Green New Deal and Democrats running for president who want to “eliminate fossil fuels.” He says the “war on coal is over” under Trump. He also says it’s going to take at least four more years to “drain the swamp.”
7:00 PM: Trump a little behind schedule, but the crowd is amped getting ready for Trump to take the stage.
6:35: The mainstream media will be focused on the crowd more than Trump:
