    That's just what Trump needs is a good old Kag Rally?!! He is losing what little of his mind, he has left?!! Do let a pandemic stop you, show the base, who's the boss Trump or the corona virus?!! The rally should be free of social distancing and those f*cking masks too! Grab-a**ing is highly encouraged?!! The Trump campaign will supply the beer and hot dogs and chips?!!

    YPSILANTI, Michigan/PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump, eager to get back on the road and make his case for re-election on Nov. 3, said on Thursday he may have to stage campaign rallies at outdoor sites until the coronavirus pandemic settles down enough for traditional events.

    “We got to get back to the rallies,” Trump told reporters during a tour of a Ford auto plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan. "I think it's going to be sooner rather than later.”

    With little more than five months left until the election, Trump is behind Democratic rival Joe Biden in national polls and in some battleground states, such as Michigan, which he won in 2016.

    A senior campaign official said officials held a meeting last week and discussed how and when to resume the big campaign rallies that Trump craves.

    “It’s clear, he’s chomping at the bit to resume the rallies,” the campaign official said.

    The discussion was largely a brainstorming session with a lot of ideas raised, including having a rally that resembled a drive-in movie experience.

    I wonder if the fox news hosts that have been telling everyone to get back to work while sitting in their homes will participate?

    I hope so.

    I hope to see record amounts of Americans attending. Democrats want America locked down. Republicans want America reopened.

    While Democrats are filling skateboarding parks with sand, busting down salon shops, and living in fear, Republicans are rallying for freedom.

    The question voters need to think about is are they willing to endure similar lockdowns for the climate emergency Democrats want to declare?

    I agree, I hope y’all are able to pack the stands shoulder to shoulder with proud republicans! Zero of whom should be wearing masks because that is un-American.

    Drive-In theaters are coming back and doing well. Ronald Reagan had a humongous rally on the beach here. Head for the outdoors.

    And when 99.999% of them live, the Democrats will look foolish.

    Your wish of Coronavirus killing them all will not come true.

    We are not afraid.

    Living in fear, wearing mask, and telling the government everywhere you go is for neo-communist and Democrats.

    I didn’t wish death on anyone. Just a question though to your hypothetical, what do you believe will be the outcome if these events become a hotspot?

    They won't.

    If they did though, Democrats would order nursing homes to take them in

    As expected, a non-answer.

    Trump is an idiot, he may have the false sense of invulnerability that his drug is protecting himself, but will his cult followers be protected

    I think someone will talk Trump out of this

    and if there is an outbreak in the area or worse, Trump gets it, he will look like an idiot

    1. for spreading the virus to his followers and their family and friends
    2. for proving his miracle drug doesn't work

    republicans like to say they are not afraid, but most of them followed the Trump shutdown like everyone else did

    be interesting to see the stats on increased post counts from Republicans that say they are not afraid to go out over the last month vs Democrats

    The shutdown was to flatten the curve to prevent our hospitals from being overwhelmed.

    1. The curve is flat

    2. The hospitals are ready

    It's past time to reopen.

    The Democrats want a permanent lockdown. They say we need to be locked down till their is a vaccine knowing there may never be one.

    Democrats fill skateboarding parks with sand

    Democrats bust down salon shops while ignoring homeless druggies.

    Democrats see these lockdowns as an opportunity to destroy America's economy to help them gain power in November.

    Democrats fear trump rallies and want to stop them from accruing because they know Joe, and any other Democrat, can't fill a Starbucks.

    agree, as I have said many time, Trump failed to lead, his shutdown did not help states that had low cases

    the goal was to reduce the curve, not eliminate it - without a vaccine, most of us will get it eventually

    unless the virus arrived late last year, which I think it did, these states with low case counts are gonna have a second wave, if no second wave, then that means the Trump shutdown was not needed as they already had the virus last year and have herd immunity already

    did Trump ruin the economy with his shutdown needlessly, only time will tell

    You forgot:

    Democrats force 80 year old Covid positive patients into homes with Covid negative 80 year olds.

    Of course he will. Why would he care if people spread the virus around in the packed crowds? He gets what he came for. Their attention and adulation.

    orange man is bad, the question is, in the most important decision of his presidency, did he make the right one, only time will tell if the Trump shutdown was the right choice to make

    sounds like fake news, but if someone did that, that was a bad call, we call out bad calls regardless of party, if we don't learn from others mistakes, we repeat them

    only time will tell, but looking at the low case counts in some states, looks like they did not need the Trump shutdown (both republican and democrat States)

    Trump was the decider, we have to live with his decision... right or wrong...

    sure you did, as I said the same thing in the post you replied too, only time will tell if the Trump shutdown was needed

    I just repeated it as you did not catch it the first time

    so do you disagree with anything I said? or do you think the Trump shutdown was needed?
