President Donald Trump Rallies For GOP Candidate In Crucial NC House Race | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC
Donny, ..Pssst ..put that right where the sun never shines.
Trump knows he better win 2020, or jail time will surely happen.
There is absolutely NO reason for me to believe this is anything but an election strategy. Dangerous and pathetic.
PeacockPoverty — Stop it…You’re making me more paranoid than I already am.
My biggest fear is that the closer we get to 2020, Trump will start behaving intelligently, and making good decisions.
@Alan G. LOL Fat chance brother
A replay for republicans got caught cheating only election fraud to date
Konstantin Polyakov That’s not a racist comment at all.
Channel 6 CBS Ft. Worth Texas. 4 Hispanic women arrested & convicted of at least 2,000 fraudulent votes for the Democrats. Real news..
@DK x Mace it may be a comment agianst the racial stain of NC
@William Burgess which means absolutely nothing
Of you want this nightmare to end, vote against anyone who supports this lying orange walking sack of crap.
Show up and vote for the truth.
Vote for reality.
Vote No tRump hope my vote counts.✌
Dan — Being endorsed by ‘the Donald’ may not be helpful.
KEGGA In the hillbilly swamp areas trump is god
The lying orange puppet has indoctrinated his followers to the point where they are questioning reality. Everything is fake news unless it’s something good about their fearless orange leader.
Yea helpful to lose, unless their people love mafia.
Oh TRUMP this is not going to work
Ohhh but it did.
GOP=Whorehouse=Trump=Criminals=blind to truth. GOP needs to be put in a vat of acid and dissolved.
REPUBLIC Shall Endure
I love the suggestion. Great idea.
Every Candidate should distance themselves from Trump.
nah ,, that just got him a win by 20 points 🙂

Republicans were caught being guilty of voter fraud last year. They collected and threw out ballots. Normal classless behavior by the GOP in NC.
12:37 trump admitting to killing kashoggi through his childish projection
Here NC goes cheating again. How GOP of them
Ha ha!
@Beachdudeca
Bishop, a state senator, narrowly defeated Democrat Dan McCready by fewer than 5,000 votes — 50.8% to 48.6% … NPR
That district has “voted” for republicans for last 50 years .
@Pete Lind , lol i looked at a different race ,, btw , the DEMS ran a Very Conservative Candidate , its an example of why Progressives fail in Purple Districts
That’s exactly why they had to pay for this election in the first place. The GOP here in NC has been corrupt and cheating for years. The courts just ruled their unbelievable surgically precise Gerrymandering unconstitutional but not in time.
They have until the 18th of this month. Thank you Gov. Roy Cooper.
The GOP collected and destroyed absentee ballots in 2018. They have no morals left. They blatantly cheat.
Beachdudeca
The Republicans cheated last year. It was no landslide. But why allow facts to mess up a good story?
Boy trampa, pence and the Republican party will be heading down the dusty trail .
The Republican party is the party of the past.
Vote blue all day long
5:49 The country already experience a crazy person running the country and that you Trump.
Virtual tie in a red district after confirmed voter fraud on the part of the republicans.
It isn’t really Trump economy. He just inherited Obama’s economy. If people don’t come to their senses, They will feel Trump’s economy.
@Tom Forest Trump has done nothing except for himself. He lies more than 100 times a day. He has proven he is incompetent to hold office and is mental deficient too. So you like to put the worse in office. He wants to take from you and give your money to himself and his cronies. The baby can’t handle when intelligent people show him that he is wrong. Democratic leadership need to stop being ruled by donors Republicans are actively causing pain and suffering. The only one who approve of trumps incompetent actions all have proven how mentally deficient they are.
Tom Forest good riddance. Another low iq tool gone. You won’t be missed. Cheers little Tommy
Kenneth Nash so Nash you have a doctor degree in mental health phycology . You sound just like the fake media coverage. MSNBC, cnn. plus noise sniffing Hollywood propaganda. Yeah no thanks I’ll keep watch the entertainment Comey, McCabe you know the Hillary loving Democratic. She should be in prison for treason. Trump has never done anything like that family Clinton s pure evil. No thanks I rather make America great again than to let Democratic destroy the country.
Drain the Swamp…get rid of the red stain!
And go dodgers!
launchpad4…or put a tampon on it.
@Felix Blacksher Yessir!
vote BLUE . The orange Buffoon will be headed for Federal Prison after the impeachment anyway !
Paul Marohn #voteBlue
Your Crystal ball is cracked. Try one of those 8 balls, you shake, Not smoke. You’ve already done too much of that.
For what?
Trump will get re-elected, Just wait and see. The left are doing more to get him re-elected
Trump’s a “Flash in the pan”, no one likes a crook, and he’s proven to be just that.
Repugs always cheat when they feel the outcome will be close.
It is far more accurate to say that outcomes are only ever close because they are always cheating.
GOP has screwing over North Carolinians since Pat McCrory made sure the power company didn’t have to take any responsibility for coal ash in our waterways. That they were his former employer and political supporter is probably a coincidence. After he lost the election, he and the other state GOP cronies tried taking away all the power of the governor.
SLIME BALLS FROM SEWAGE SLUDGE.
He wasn’t there for the candidate. He was there to hear morons cheer him.
Well they did win donald trump for 2024
creep calling unto creep
Beachdudeca
Republicans cheated in the midterms. That’s the reason for this special election. GOP’s Gerrymandered distracts have been found unconstitutional. They are currently in violation of our state constitution.
Now Raleigh has until 9/18 to fix it. And NC will be quite blue after the surgically precise cheating has been appropriately eradicated.
Beachdudeca the guy candidate (in a historically Rep district) won by 2%
alt left lose again.
