https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/01/politics/trump-maniacs-midterm-momentum-missouri/index.htmlPresident Donald Trump lamented on Thursday that last week's two domestic terror incidents had stopped Republican momentum ahead of the midterm elections.
Trump said the pipe bombs mailed to prominent Democratic politicians and CNN and the shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue had taken attention away from the Republican campaign to hold on to control of Congress during the midterms.
"We did have two maniacs stop a momentum that was incredible, because for seven days nobody talked about the elections," he said during his closing remarks at a Missouri rally. "It stopped a tremendous momentum."
Trump acknowledged the human cost of the package bombs and the shooting.

TrumPutin, Pence, Hannity, Dobbs, Limbaugh, and every member of the GOP spouting radical right-wing extremist views in the news. Ok, that's the whole "Republican" party. Can't expect Daddy's Boy Donnie to be able to count that high. He hires the best people to handle really big things like numbers.
