so, I can at least understand Pence going there. Trump could possibly finish 3rd there if McMullin gets a majority of Republicans and independents.

DC, I have no friggin' clue why Trump is there. They're running ads in NY, too, the most expensive media market in the country.

I think it might have been more about advertising his business than actually running for office since he was running in an area where the candidates tend to not be from his party.

Saying that even if he doesn't get the white house, he still has his stupid hotel nearby.

He's trying to salvage what's left of his toxic brand, and failing badly at that too.

NY is a ego thing for him since it's his home state. Even Caribou Barbie wasted McCain's campaign dollars on Alaska.

for moral reasons. Even Romney, Glenn Beck, and the Deseret News are anti-Trump.

to speak out publicly against Trump. The fact remains that no Republican will probably do better than Romney did in the state. Until another Mormon Republican runs for president. BTW, until the bus video came out, Trump was well ahead of Clinton in Utah. they apparently don't mind his racist, anti-immigrant, and anti-Muslim side.

Attempting more free advertising for his shit hole since the media bailed out of his last one.
His brand is the same sort of useless crap he is.

Going to what should be a sympathetic crowd, with deep pockets for a future campaign.

....regarding "bigly", for months I thought he was saying that. But in the last week or two for some reason he's been speaking more clearly, or slowly.

What he's actually using is a popular phrase in New York City (lived there for 40 years) to describe things.

He's saying "big league", but most of the time he drops the end of league.

They're not campaigning against Hillary in that state, they're campaigning against McMullin for no reason other than to avoid the embarrassment of an "independent" beating them in one of the reddest states on the map.

McMullin is a neocon handpicked to run against Trump in Utah that would be a republican in any other year. Hillary's numbers really haven't budged in the state while he's gone from 9% to 30% in a little over a month.
