Trump rails against Pelosi, Waters and Heitkamp at raucous N. Dakota rally
An invigorated Trump appeared in Fargo to campaign for Republican Rep. Kevin Cramer, who is running against incumbent Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp.
NBC News, Jun 27, 2018, Adam Edelman

President Donald Trump spent his campaign rally in North Dakota Wednesday night tearing into Democrats, with blistering attacks on the party's national leaders and the state's vulnerable incumbent, Sen. Heidi Heitkamp.

Trump, who attended the Fargo event to help boost GOP Rep. Kevin Cramer, who is challenging Heitkamp, took aim at the one-term lawmaker every chance he got, coloring each attack with additional assaults on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Rep. Maxine Waters, who over the weekend said member of the Trump administration should be heckled when out in public.

"Maxine, she's a beauty," Trump added. "She practically was telling people the other day to assault. Can you imagine if I said the things she said?"

At another point, Trump gleefully pleaded for Democrats to keep Pelosi as their House leader.

"Please, please, please don't remove Nancy Pelosi," he said, "And please keep Maxine Waters on the air as your face and your mouthpiece for the Democratic Party."

Trump also levied several blows at Heitkamp, attacking her over her opposition to his tax-cut bill earlier this year and his party's failed Obamacare repeal bill last year.

Trump told the roaring crowd that Democratic lawmakers "want judges who will rewrite the Constitution any way they want to do it. Take away your Second Amendment, erase borders, throw open jailhouse doors, destroy freedoms."

"We must elect more Republicans," he said.

Gosh. This wasn't supposed to happen. The experts told us last year that everyone hated Trump and that no one would show up at his rallies and he would be poison for candidates.

With a Dem in the White House, this map would give the GOP a six seat gain.  There will be several 50/50 races.   North Dakota is the #1 pickup opportunity.  They have no reason to send a pretendipendent back to congress.

With a Dem in the WH we would be discussing the nomination of Eric Holder to the Supreme Court today.

It would be really nice if that translates to effective reps and not the wilting lilies who are in office now.

Maybe we can upgrade to Soggy Dandelions.
