After 'Send her back!' chant, Ohio rally a test for Trump

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

CINCINNATI (AP) — President Donald Trump's latest rally will be a test for both candidate and crowd.

The Cincinnati gathering Thursday night will be Trump's first since his audience chanted "Send her back!" about a Somali-born congresswoman during a July rally in North Carolina, raising the prospect of a 2020 presidential campaign increasingly fought along racial lines.

The chant about Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota by a roaring Greenville crowd rattled Republicans and left Trump wavering over how to respond. He let the chant roll at the rally, expressed disapproval about it the next day and later retreated from those concerns.

Since then, Trump has pushed ahead with incendiary tweets and a series of attacks on a veteran African-American congressman and his predominantly black district in Baltimore. Heightening the drama, Trump's Ohio rally will come on the heels of a pair of debates among the Democrats who want to replace him and will take place against a backdrop of simmering racial tension in the host city of Cincinnati.

All eyes will be watching both the Ohio crowd's behavior — and how Trump reacts. Even his closest advisers seem uncertain as to what may transpire.

So what stupid racist shit will he say this time?

1. He won't try to stop it...he'll even fish around for it

That stuff is like a drug to him. Being in front of an adoring crowd really brings out his true persona. Not that he ever has much self control.

2. Cincinnati isn't far

from eastern Kentucky .... plus southwest Ohio is “Hillbilly Elegy” country.

I’m sure Dirty Donnie will be in rare form.

[hibbing]

3. They will chant it again n/t

[TheRealNorth]

9. Of course they will

Trump will sit there with a grin and when the press asks him the next day if he is a racist, he will deny it and call us the real racists.

[0rganism]

18. they'll chant it and he'll pretend to shut it down mockingly

"hey everyone, don't do that. believe me, fake news doesn't like it when you do that. it would really make them upset if you say 'Send Them Back' real loud."

(crowd chants "Send Them Back" louder)

"i told you not to do that, but democracy, right?"

(crowd keeps chanting)
(Trump gloats and gently sways back and forth at the podium in time with the chant)

anyone want to bet me that it doesn't turn out like this?

4. I suppose CSpan will be the only place to catch this fiasco?

I'm a strong believer in "know thine enemy" so I will be watching, if possible. I'm sure he will be pumped about some infraction against him, so he'll put on his usual show.

Watching the supporters is always interesting. Since so much was made about the "send her back" cheers, maybe the crowd will be a little cautious. I can't imagine they looked at videos of that performance and didn't have regrets they were included in the shots. How juvenile.

Onward and upward.

5. he will fail

6. Just how many of these Hitler rallies does that make now?

Seems like The Orange Creature has one every couple of weeks, and we the taxpayers are paying for this shit.

7. Cinncy paper says 7 in Ohio

Snip-"On Thursday, the eyes of the nation will be on Cincinnati when President Donald Trump takes the stage at U.S. Bank Arena for his seventh visit to the region since announcing his presidential candidacy in 2015. Pundits will be watching and waiting for chants of "send them/her back" or some other trope that can be deemed offensive to prove a point and paint our city, state and the Midwest in a negative light. "


More at the editorial.

The chants are going to be ugly as hell .

11. I was looking at the polls in 538

The last set of Quinnipiac polls had Trump 8 pts behind Biden in Ohio and pretty much tied with the rest of the field of Democratic candidates.

If Trump loses Ohio, it's probably over for him, as I don't see him winning MI again and I think PA is probably a long shot as well.

8. I HOPE we hear the chant

Tie the racist tag even tighter to their necks for 2020.

[IcyPeas]

10. hoping he gets heckled

he rarely does, it seems. CNN had hecklers last night in the debate.

He'll no doubt be picking some tidbits from the debates to make fun of. probably lots of new nicknames for the democratic candidates.

12. Place your bets: how long will it take from trump to mention Rep. Cummings.?

[TheRealNorth]

13. I would give him 15 minutes

He has to talk about himself first And about how great he thinks he is.

But, he could Just as easily go off script and ramble about Cummings and Baltimore (Or Chicago)

[Takket]

14. What is it a "test" of?

Whether he is racist? That ship has sailed. Chant or no chant will make no difference.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

15. The heat stroke trumpers are already teasing it

Just search live on YouTube and you will find trumps 24/7 kiddy reporters.

I can't believe there are so many stupid people who would pack in and stand in heat to see the moron.

Could it be like race fans who just want to see wrecks?

16. It's a cult, #Cult45. They'll endure anything for their master

[BannonsLiver]

17. They just interviewed some deplorable skank on msnbc

In her rural twang she went on and on about AOC and others being communist socialists, and then finished with a rant about how any country that turns its back on israel is doomed to failure.

My guess is she coudn't pick israel out on a map if her life depended on it.
