| Trump sends 'better half' to Chicago for campaign cash |
There’d be far too many people inclined to mock him mercilessly for his initial debate performance – particularly from those people who are convinced the lousy microphone system was, in reality, a case of a candidate with “the sniffles.”
AFTER
ALL, ISN’T Hillary the one who toughed it out on the campaign trail while
suffering from pneumonia, continuing to make appearances at a time when
ordinary people would have been staying home in bed and whining for their
spouse to bring them another bowl of chicken soup?
Trump
likely will have to do more debate prep for his next appearance Oct. 9 at
Washington University in St. Louis, and probably will put the squeeze on his
vice presidential running mate, Mike Pence, who has his lone debate event
Tuesday at Longwood University.
But
we in Chicago may get a taste of Trump this week – for it seems that daughter
Ivanka is scheduled to make several stops in Illinois on Wednesday.
Those
include an evening cocktail party/fundraiser in the city, along with a
breakfast-type/coffee event in Quincy and lunch in Peoria.
MUCH
IS BEING made of Trump’s recent comments implying he thinks Chicago’s homicide
rate makes it a far-more-dangerous place to visit than reality reflects.
Is
Donald scared? Actually, he’s probably more realizing that any assault he’d
face in Chicago would be in the form of verbal harassment and insults. As we
saw quite clearly during his first debate performance Monday night, he doesn’t
like being questioned or criticized.
He
likes to be the one who dishes it out.
Besides,
I do find it somewhat odd that Trump may be in the metropolitan area (as in
outside the city proper) on Wednesday. Supposedly, he’s going to show up in
Bolingbrook for a political luncheon that twice already has been cancelled.
SOMETHING
KEEPS COMING up that knocks the event off the schedule. Will Trump finally
honor this commitment?
Considering
that Bolingbrook, is some minds, is nothing more than the municipality that
once employed Drew Peterson as a law enforcement officer, you’d have to question
the idea that the community is all that safe.
After
all, not many communities can claim to have one of their officers now serving a
lengthy prison term (he’d have to live to at least 93 to ever be free again)
for murder. Although it seems that Peterson is only a threat to the young girls
who fall for him, thereby leaving Trump safe.
Anyway,
back to Ivanka, who could be an interesting persona. There is evidence that she
may be the one of all the Trump kids (the jury is still out on Trump’s youngest
son, Baron) who amounts to anything – what with her corporate role with the
Trump Organization and the fact she plays a significant part in the business.
HOW
MANY WILL come out to see Trump’s eldest daughter? Will they bring their
checkbooks and make donations to try to give Trump a campaign fund that comes
close to approaching the many millions that Democrat Hillary Clinton will have
access to?
And
what kind of crowd will Trump himself garner. Politico reported estimates from
Republican party leaders that some 400 supporters will be on hand for the
suburban event. Although there’s always the chance that some activist types
will want to show up to cause a ruckus.
We’ll
have to see if Trump has a sufficient explanation for his less-than-stellar
debate performance Monday night.
Or
will it amount to little more than a gruff demand that the questioner “Stuff
it!!!!” up a certain bodily sphincter? Ouch!
