Long-winded rallies are a specialty of idiot Trump. It doesn't make him a better leader.
For what it's worth Biden had to hurry off to a rally in Kansas City.

I certainly don't need an hour-long stump speech with the same stuff over and over. Or gawd-forbid, a Trumpian multi-hour rant.

Get out there, pump up the troops and GTFO.

55 years ago demonstrators were attacked as they tried to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala. The attack is now known as Bloody Sunday. It’s credited with sparking the passage of the voting rights act that same year after brutal images of the march shocked the nation into action. MSNBC’s Joy Reid reports on the significance of demonstration and the presidential candidates who are in attendance.
