Thoughts on TFG going to Springfield for a campaign stop

I'm in Asheville, NC. It's a cool little hippy-dippy city. Trump came to Asheville for a rally; word here was that he chose us because it was the city in NC most likely to have a counter-protest go sideways. The strategy among our town was *NO* protests, not even peaceful one. We chose to "ignore them" and we did. He came, he bloviated. He left. No 'crazy Kah-mah-lah" lefties to film and use as fodder.

Is that what he's looking for in #Springfield? Is he trying to get a "look at the violent Haitians and crazy libtards" moment to turn the tide?

I lived in Boone for a while. I think its a bad idea for him to go to a place that he has already created unrest in.

6. Springfield should tell him to shove it. At the very least, he should have to pay up front for whatever extra

police and security they say they need.

It's to draw a bunch of his people in for sure.

Love it! We depart from our backyard bubble in Hendersonville up to Asheville regularly - our Trader Joe trips, especially!
