Trump Makes Last Strike In LA: ‘You Got To Give Me A Big Win’

President Donald Trump made a final full-court press Thursday night in an attempt to push Republican challenger Eddie Rispone over the top in the Louisiana gubernatorial runoff this Saturday.

This is important because the Republicans in the Senate will be watching it closely to see how Trump will impact their elections. They are in a bind because they will lose the MAGATS if they don’t support Trump but everyone else if they do. Once they see it is to their advantage to turn on Trump, they will do it and force him to resign before the vote in the Senate.

“You got to give me a big win.”

Because a governor’s race is all about Trump.

Because everything is.

Doesn’t he realize he has rally groupies? He really thinks everyone at that rally is a voter in Louisiana?

He will never resign. The presidency is the only thing keeping him from prison.

“What a life I lead,” he said at one point of the impeachment inquiry. “You think this is fun, don’t you?”

Sure looks fun from my vantage point. And, by the way, criminal in chief, this is all your doing but I know you’ll never own it. It’s always someone else’s fault.

The creativity used to make EVERY ISSUE about him is breath taking and only exceeded by the ham handedness exhibited in these efforts.

Wait, has he ever publicly asked for something and said ‘please’, as opposed to stating what he wants and expecting it as of right?

And I am telling you
I’m not going
You’re the best man I’ll ever know
There’s no way I could ever, ever go
No, no, no, no way
No, no, no, no way I’m living without you
Oh, I’m not living without you,
Not living without you
I don’t wanna be free
I’m staying, I’m staying
And you, and you, and you
You’re gonna love me

You’re gonna love me, yes you are
Ooh ooh love me, ooh ooh ooh love me
Love me, love me, love me, love me

You’re gonna love me

“What a life I lead,” he said at one point of the impeachment inquiry. “You think this is fun, don’t you?” He later paused after a lengthy section of his prepared remarks: “That was a long harangue.”

HA! He’s such a card! :rofl:

Trump used the word ‘harangue?’ A sign of demonic possession. Speaking in a language you have no familiarity with–in this case, English.

Well, it beats being in jail - which would be a realistic possibility.

Whenever Trump asks for a Big Win, it means he knows he’s losing. Especially when he adds please. I mean, seriously, does anyone honestly think Trump ever uses the word please, without sarcasm, unless he’s desperate?

It’s as reliabe a prediction of upcoming failure for Trump as Trump saying, “John Doe has my full support,” is that Doe will soon be fired.

Rispone is a first-time candidate and businessman/donor hybrid

My favorite line from the article.

Trump will take credit if there’s a win. The candidate will get all the credit if it’s a loss. Some things never change.

As in STRIKE THREE???

I’d be good with that.

ETA: Although Trump would say he gets as many strikes as he needs to get a hit … just because.
