Democrat Wins After President Donald Trump Begs Voters To Send Message | The Last Word | MSNBC
“This election is about me… except if I lose.”
He takes credit for everything & blame for nothing.
gosh, more than 60% who viewed this content gave a thumbs down.
That’s right! Trump 2020 to all of you fake news idiots
Except the only people saying that is the media, that it’s about him. He is just doing stopovers in states where the republican candidate is behind to try to help them, and as his m.o., uses a personal appeal to his base to try to help support the candidate. He is doing what every other president has done, except this time the focus from the media is that Trump lost the election, it’s a referendum on Trump. They are trying to sell this as a pre-2020 “poll” when in reality, both the KY and La. Governors races had the Democrat ahead (sorry Morning Joe) for the entire campaign and usually a personal endorsement from a President isn’t going to change that.
For reference, La. has alternated Governors, Rep/Dem , everytime since 1980, meaning that it went Rep gov, dem gov, rep gov… and most of the governors won their reelections. Before that it was Democrat govs all the way back to 1877.
Kentucky has had 2 Republican Governors in the last 50 years. And Bevins was the 2nd most unpopular governor in the U.S. going into the election.
You can say there was some ego by Trump thinking that he could help sway the election, but thats about it. Ths narrative created that somehow him going to support 2 candidates who were losing shows this is about him is idiotic.
Don’t worry you will always be a loser!
“Begging” lol, How’s that KY gun range story going for you?
Lol, yes. Begged.
@Michael Deaton this sounds like that trump hope. Gov is blue. Donald trump lost. Begging.
@Chrome Chronotic I think you need to look up the definition. Lucky for you it’s only a couple of replies up from this.
A government that serves none but itself.
How has Trump explained the loss?
I just want weed legal
Chris Scharfenberger ok boomer
I still want weed legalize
@Chris Scharfenberger it would be constructive. People wouldn’t be going to jail, cops wouldn’t have to waste their time, it would stop money going to the cartel, it would allow farmers to grow hemp, and it would put more money into the economy.
@Chris Scharfenberger Tobacco, synthetic opioids but not cannabis? I don’t smoke weed but I’m struggling to see your sense in the present climate.
Come to Canada
Teflon Don Franco bet! Lol
Apparently Mr. Chumps coat tails are a bit tattered! Just goes to prove when you get too close all his ick yuk eeew pew rubs off on you!! I hope he makes an extra effort to campaign for all the Republican losers on the trail and sinks their attempts at getting elected as well!!! Ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha nice job stinky small hands!!!!!
He was so boring that even this little girl at the back standing behind him was yawning !!
He always talks in this typical manner when he is talking to his supporters. Weird, always weird. Can’t wait to never hear anything about or from him.
Keep on campaigning Twump! It’s good for the Democrats! Ditch Moscow Mitch and Kremlin Donovitch and Leningrad Lindsay
I hope they come out when Lindsey graham try to get re-elected !
He’s so whinny it’s disturbing and it must be how he got his DaDa to do what he wanted but the American people had their big boy pants on and told him loudly no no baby 🍼 Trump.
No one told him a thing and if you are so blind to all the good he has done for this country, I feel sorry for you! You must secretly love him and the way he tells you women to zip it and get back to the bedroom where you belong!
You’re fat.
Trumps candidates are getting slaughtered and so is trumps coronary artery.
Goebbelsina “I voz only followink orders” Grisham is going to be a constant part of the post-Trump parade of clowns scrabbling for the shreds of their dignity, reputation and honor.
DUMP TRUMP! THROW
PENCE OVER THE FENCE!!
Donald knew; that’s why he had to go to the hospital to treat his panic attack.
Yall gonna be cry so loud when trump gets elected. I can smell your fear
We’re crying now at the thought he might get elected. Hilarious, just hilarious.
It’s funny to see always the maga background 😂 his company who pay paleros lol

Better check to make sure his EGO is okay.
Trump, you have failed this nation.
