And that man is coming to campaign against Danny O'Connor Ohio 12

He's supposed to be here on Saturday. O'Connor must be scaring the GOP badly, that district was John Kasichs' in the early80s, then the last guy, Tiberi, held it for 17 yrs. Pence was here, this week & trump coming...gotta be close internal polling. And yeah, those 'deplorables' will be there.

..."Trump will be in Delaware County on Saturday to campaign for state Sen. Troy Balderson, who is running for the 12th District congressional seat in a special election.

Three GOP sources who have been briefed on the visit confirmed that Trump will be in central Ohio on Saturday, though the White House has yet to confirm details of the visit.

Trump, who endorsed the Zanesville Republican earlier this month, following up with a series of tweets supporting him this week. He will be visiting a county that’s considered key to Balderson’s success in Tuesday’s election.

Trump’s visit comes after two campaign stops by Vice President Mike Pence, including one earlier this week.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy also has campaigned on behalf of Balderson in the district, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich endorsed Balderson this week, appearing in commercials and making robo-calls on his behalf."

But think about this:

This is a special election for a congressional seat that has included/will include:

1. A rally from Trump

2. Two rallies with Pence

3. Commercials and robocalls from the Governor

4. Campaigning by Kevin McCarthy

All of this...for one special election that's going to be up for grabs again in a couple months.

They're terrified.

FDR so much that they would not use his name, called him “that man.” As an adult, she became a devoted Democrat.

I stole it from a Scot in 2009, when he was grabbing that golf course.

Been visiting with my Mom who keeps channel 10 on all day and I've gotten a decade's worth of attack ads the past two weeks.....
