Ohio editorial begs Trump fans not to embarrass state at tonight's Trump rally

.... President Donald Trump is expected to hold a rally in Cincinnati, Ohio. Focusing on Rust Belt states appears to be a major part of Trump’s re-election campaign, as it was in 2016. Ahead of the event, the editorial board of the Cincinnati Enquirer pleaded with Trump’s fans to not heap shame upon the city by mirroring Trump’s racism, with chants like “Send her back!” in reference to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).

“Don’t take the bait. We’re asking you, Mr. President, your supporters and your detractors to set a new example for presidential visits. Setting an example not only includes people at the rally or protesting it, but those commenting about it on social media,” the board wrote. “Let’s do our part to dignify the debate about how best to improve our nation and the lives of all Americans,” they added. They also beseeched the president to stick to the issues, not attack fellow lawmakers — especially people of color.

“Instead of casting blame and hurling insults at Democrats, the people of the Cincinnati region would appreciate hearing the specifics of the president’s plan to address urban renewal,” they write. “We would covet his insight on how to attract more businesses and investment to urban areas without displacing black, brown and, yes, white residents who call those places home.

What are your ideas for creating more affordable housing? How can we all share in the prosperity of making America and our poorest neighborhoods great again? Surely, Thursday night’s crowd would be interested in your thoughts and plans for these pressing issues, Mr. President.”

1. Good luck with that...

In many ways, Ohio is ground zero for Trumpism. I appreciate that Ohio Dems are working hard to salvage their state, but it looks pretty grim.

[stopdiggin]

19. yeah, when you got your union guys voting for the 1%ers, that's pretty f***ed up (nt)

[True Blue American]

30. Especially Cincinnati

But mostly surrounding suburbs. The city is black. I doubt they will welcome him with open arms.

Trump is have a heck of a time trying to distract from Dems. He is actually getting funny.

[SharonAnn]

31. Cincinnati area is very, very racist.

[True Blue American]

37. All around Cincinnati all up 75.

The city is black.

[enough]

2. Oh that should work. NT

[RhodeIslandOne]

3. Too late.

[Ohiogal]

4. And I bet

DeWhine will be front row center on his knees.

[mr_lebowski]

12. Hope he's got a nice pair ...

[True Blue American]

32. Portman,, Chabot and Turner for sure.

[True Blue American]

47. Reminds me

I received a very nice personal email from Sherrod today discussing what I asked about, saying if I had any other ideas to please let him know. Takes him a while, but you get a personal one. After the staff acknowledging your email.

5. Not surprised he scheduled a rally the same night as a debate

What a piece of crap.

[virgogal]

34. The rally is tomorrow night.

[underpants]

35. Oh

Thanks

[True Blue American]

38. Tonight, thursday

[virgogal]

39. Tomorrow is Thursday.

[True Blue American]

42. You are right

The story is wrong. I was, too.

6. "Don't take the bait"?

That's what they're there for, that's what they want to do, is chant and cheer and let their bigot flags fly. That's what makes them Trump partisans. Trump doesn't have a plan to address urban renewal. He doesn't have a plan for anything beyond lining his own pocket. And the crowd Trump draws couldn't give a tin shit about affordable housing, poor neighborhoods or any other pressing issue.

The editorial board of the Cincinnati Enquirer sounds like each and every one of them got dropped on his head, repeatedly.

[ismnotwasm]

7. lololol

Surely, Thursday nights crowd will be full of the same hateful bigots he attracts everywhere.

[left-of-center2012]

9. No one will be there Thursday

"On Wednesday ... Trump is expected to hold a rally in Cincinnati, Ohio."

[StarfishSaver]

21. It's tomorrow, Thursday

[left-of-center2012]

23. You're right

The article is wrong:

"On Wednesday, ahead of the third Democratic debate, President Donald Trump is expected to hold a rally in Cincinnati, Ohio."

[StarfishSaver]

24. It looks like like they corrected it

[tblue37]

25. This is the second Democratic debate. nt

[left-of-center2012]

26. Or is it the 4th?

[tblue37]

28. It's second, part II. nt

[left-of-center2012]

29. Must be that 'new math'

[lapfog_1]

8. should be in the dictionary under definition of "forlorn hope" - n/t

[muntrv]

10. Wishful thinking, Cincinnati Enquirer.

[MyOwnPeace]

11. If you support the wishes

of the editorial, you can't be supporting IQ45. It just doesn't work that way!

[Midnightwalk]

13. My brain hurts

Mr. President, your supporters and your detractors to set a new example for presidential visits.

A new example?!? We might need a new adjective.

Can I be the first to suggest “presidential”?

[Raster]

14. yeah, good luck with that...

... the only things tRump* knows how to do are casting blame and hurling insults. That is his schtick. That's all he knows. There is nothing else there. tRump* is an abysmal failure and uberly toxic narcissist. He revels in the crowd's hatreds which he plays like a fiddle. And please, let's not pretend that his DEPLORABLES are capable of anything else but their equally toxic behavior.

[book_worm]

15. Well, that won't work--most of them can't read.

[Wounded Bear]

48. Yeah, all the major newpapers (or almost all) endorsed Hillary...

Yeah, Trumplodytes don't read. If it's longer than 300 characters, they start to doze off.

[Ohioboy]

16. Stick to issues?????

Trump rallies are like professional wrestling events. They're not about issues. The whole point of a Trump rally is to attack others and stick it to the Libs. It would be like asking the WWF to tone it down and stick to issues.

[Botany]

17. "They" come for the red meat. End of story.

S.W. Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana is thick with dumb ass racists who think the wrong side won the Civil War and Stephen Miller knows that. Expect plenty of white power signs and some well placed Trump Blacks too.

[irisblue]

36. Botany is right

[True Blue American]

40. Except right in Cincinnati

That is mostly black. All around is racist.

[irisblue]

44. Yep.

But the people who live in Cincinnati proper are not his base. We both know that.

[True Blue American]

46. Of course!:(

I know many of them. My Sons in-laws! He still votes Democrat.

[barbtries]

18. ha

i have to laugh. why are they bothering?

you know what would be smarter? all the cameras leave. don't put the shit on national tv.

it's not as if any policies are discussed that are noteworthy. no, it's just a hate fest with a maniac and his maniacal cult.

[roamer65]

20. Ohio has other things it should be embarrassed about as well.

Absolutely foul garbage laws in respect to a woman’s right to privacy.

[StarfishSaver]

22. Trump's Cincinnati rally is tomorrow, not tonight.

[GulfCoast66]

27. Openly expressing their hatred, racism and xenophobia,

Things that will get them fired at their job, is the only reason they go!

They are looking forward to it!

[RockRaven]

33. Attending the rally IS embarrassing the state already.

Once they arrive, the horse is out of the barn.

[ananda]

41. Really?! It's WAY too late for that!

nt

[ReformedGOPer]

43. Good luck with that.

[sakabatou]

45. Oh, that will be the day!

[maxrandb]

49. When I was stationed in Cincinnati for recruiting duty with the Navy

We used to say that Cincinnati was more Northern Kentucky than Southern Ohio.

But, I don't think it's possible for Ohio to embarrass itself any further.

The state went for Donnie Shit for Brains for no other reason than racism.

This is the state that has given us fucking Governor Dewine.

This is the state that gave us Rob Porter.

This is the state that gave us Gym Jordan.

Sorry, but there's not much more this fucking state could do to earn any further embarrassment.

[Wounded Bear]

50. Are they demanding cash in advance for security?

Trump's people have been known to be a bit remiss in paying their debts.

[airmid]

51. Good luck with that...Ohio is bastion of Trump cultists. I will likely go to

Jail one day for clocking one of them.

[John Fante]

53. Begging Gump and his deplorables not to embarrass themselves

is akin to asking the sun to stop being hot.

[UniteFightBack]

54. Look at that I didn't even know there was a hate rally tonight! nt

[tosh]

55. Well, I admire the effort.

I hope I am pleasantly surprised.
