Now if Trump can just stop himself from saying something idiotic, it'll be a good day.

Hillary's week has been as bad as last week was to Trump.

I've been among the most vociferous of Trump critics here... but I give kudos on this one.  Obama, the apparent "president," despite calls to go to LA, can't be bothered to shake loose from his vacation time; meanwhile, Hillary needs her weekend rest and the trip is too much for her.  The only ones left able and willing to view the damage first-hand and interact with the locals are Trump and Pence.

So... I laud Trump and Pence for going to Louisiana.

Agree with what you've said. It's a good thing for them to go there. Boosts morale, if only for a short time.

I find it very odd that nothing has been reported that Hussein is doing anything.  I think Trump's visit will make a huge impact on his presidential campaign to visit Louisiana; especially if he can get TV coverage.  Secondly ... if he himself donates $$ or starts a more expedient and effective relief effort -- he brags about his money -- he needs to put it to good use.

No doubt there.  Silence is golden; duct tape is silver.  Trump can indeed make it a good day by not going off-message.

I see where Louisana's "simple-jack" guv warns Trump not to make the flood visit a photo-op.  Wonder if he would have made the same comment if Hitlerly was visiting.

Hillary is letting Trump off of the ropes.

He'd have given her free reign for any photo op - fake or real - that she could gin up.  Party first, and all...

Hopefully by Trump visiting it will also bring more TV coverage to the disaster, which has been poorly covered to date. The NYT even apologized for its dereliction of duty to the public.

Hillary has to have her rest for Monday.....

On Monday, August 22, Clinton will headline a top dollar fundraiser at the Beverly Hills home of Cheryl and Haim Saban, the billionaire owner of Univision and one of Clinton's wealthiest backers.

But that is also why character counts.

That doesn't help with this election.  Not with these candidates.
