2018's most volatile candidate (it's Trump) isn't on ballot

WASHINGTON — Heading into the midterm elections, the most volatile candidate this year isn't on the ballot.

But President Donald Trump still loves to take his freewheeling political stylings on the road on behalf of his fellow Republicans and he's raring to go for the sprint to Nov. 6.

His eagerness to campaign for candidates — and protect his political flank — has led Republican officials and Trump's political team to devise a strategy for managing the president's time. It's designed to keep him in places where he can be helpful.

They're also determined to try to manage his unpredictability so the party's strongest asset in turning out core GOP voters doesn't end up doing damage instead.

There's a constant effort to keep him on best behavior.

What he is eager to do is run his mouth and get applause for himself. Always the same predictable schtick, always the same idiotic response from his deplorables.

We need to hang this around repukes necks.

Even in those red states. There has got to be enough sane and decent people in those states to vote against repukes.

"It's designed to keep him in places where he can be helpful."

Dungeon? Public stocks? Holding the lid on a barrel of toxic nuclear waste? Shoveling dirt into the holes under Reactor 2 at Fukishima?

Sorry, I'm having a hard time figuring out where lil Donnie might be helpful.
