'Quick, quick, quick': Trump rushes McSally at rally as she fights to hold her Senate seat

President Donald Trump offered a not-very warm welcome to Sen. Martha McSally on Wednesday at his campaign rally in Arizona, where McSally, also a Republican, is fighting to hold on to her seat.

After saying she was "respected by everybody" and "great," Trump rushed McSally to the stage at an airport rally in Goodyear to say a few words.

"Martha, just come up fast. Fast. Fast. Come on. Quick. You got one minute! One minute, Martha! They don’t want to hear this, Martha. Come on. Let’s go. Quick, quick, quick. Come on. Let’s go," Trump said.

McSally spoke for just over a minute, and said she was "proud" to work with the president — something a moderator could not get her say during her debate with Democratic challenger Mark Kelly earlier this month.

After McSally spoke, Trump called up a trio of politicians from out of state to speak — Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. Of the three, only McCarthy, the House Republican leader, is running for re-election in November. All spoke longer than McSally did — as did another guest speaker Trump called on, Nigel Farage of Britain's Brexit party. Trump did not rush any of those four.

Like Putin told him you ain't gonna win so let the Ds win to make it easier for him to deal with Joe and the Ds.

Key word is ALMOST...I can dream, can't I?

Seriously what a bone-headed move. Why am I not surprised.

He said he wanted to get in a truck and “drive the hell out of here” in Jaynesville Wisconsin
He lamented having to actually BE in Erie PA. He had it made until the plague hit now he has to go to places like Erie.

When he first started these flybys he even commented how great it was that they pull up the plane, he gets off, makes a speech, and can then just fly away.

It’s like they’re all in a gigantic harem of Trump’s battered wives. And just like a Trump wife, it’s difficult to feel sorry for them. If they weren’t so venal and stupid, they wouldn’t be with him.

The idea of actually having to associate with you people.
Sure it massages his ego but his ego wanted no campaigning. Just win by his awesomeness

Joe Biden staying at home. It eats him up that he’s having to fly all over the place and do these stupid rallies while Joe is able to keep his distance and get his friends to do events. And Joe is kicking his ass! He must be at a low ebb these days. I hope we can kick the shit out of him while he’s down.

RW media is still on the themes they had 10 months ago. Joe in the basement. Joe is senile. Etc.

They haven’t changed one bit.

too much. Not only is he at risk for Covid, but he has to watch his back. There are some people who would love to take him out. Joe’s a good man, and it’s his personality and reputation that are holding this whole thing together. If something happened to him now, it would be a lot more than losing a nominee. He’s got this coalition with black women and Republicans and young people who are eager to see him take charge. If something were to happen to him, it would dash a lot of hopes.

I've always said he tried to throw the 2016 race and he got elected anyway. He's trying much harder this time.
