MOSINEE - President Donald Trump is drawing a crowd in a swath of Wisconsin known as "Trump Country."
Thousands of people, many wearing red hats with the slogan "Make America Great Again," were lined up Wednesday afternoon waiting to get into a nighttime rally featuring the president at an airport south of Wausau.
Trump is coming to central Wisconsin to help Gov. Scott Walker, a former campaign rival who at times has embraced the president and at others has distanced himself from him.
The rally comes as Trump has called for a new round of tax cuts, warned of the threat of illegal immigration and declared himself a nationalist. Walker on Tuesday took a Trumpian stance with an ad contending his Democratic opponent wanted to help "illegals," using a term many Hispanics find offensive............................................

Tonight, @realDonaldTrump is coming back to Wisconsin in a last minute effort to help @ScottWalker's campaign.
He might sing a different tune at the rally, but we know what Trump really thinks of Walker's failed leadership. Let's hear from him in his own words ⬇️.

Scott Walker Is Donald Trump's Most Dangerous Enabler

When other Republicans challenged Trump's cruelty on immigration, the governor of Wisconsin made himself the president's willing accomplice.

Donald Trump and Scott Walker attend a campaign round table with small-business leaders in Altoona, Wisconsin, on November 1, 2016.

The madness of King Donald blew up on him this week--when an international outcry that finally forced the president to issue an executive order undoing some (though, shamefully, not all) of the cruelest elements of his own program of separating immigrant children from their parents.
Trump backed down as governors across the country distanced themselves from his draconian policies.
Democratic governors, led by Oregon's Kate Brown, announced that they would not facilitate Trump's cruelty by dispatching National Guard troops to the southern border. And so, too, did some Republicans. .......................................

MOSINEE - Despite temperatures that dipped into the 20s, Jennifer Hunter wanted to get to the airport 24 hours before President Donald Trump.
The 38-year-old Stevens Point resident was the first in line at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, looking forward to supporting Trump, whose rally at Central Wisconsin Airport in Mosinee was scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.
"It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to have the president come to your hometown," Hunter said. "I've had to travel for other rallies."

Trump planned his visit to central Wisconsin in support of Republicans running in the midterm elections. Hundreds had lined up by 8:15 a.m. Wednesday, donning the trademark red "Make America Great Again" hats and bundling up in winter coats. Vendors lined the paths that supporters took from their cars to the line, which already extended several hundred feet.

Trump won Wisconsin during the 2016 presidential election after making several appearances in the state, including a pre-primary stop in Rothschild, about 15 minutes from the airport. The visit comes after Vice President Mike Pence stopped in Green Bay and Eau Claire earlier this month to rally Republicans, as well, in preparation for the Nov. 6 election.

What tone will @realDonaldTrump take tonight at his rally in Wisconsin, given the serial bombs that were delivered to several of his favorite verbal targets?

I fully expect him to ostensibly speak out against them, while subtly endorsing them.

I suspect he'll go with the right wing nuts already concocting conspiracy theories that the bomber is a Democrat... (funded by Soros no doubt)

Yeah, you could be right. Blame things on the Democrats seems to be his go-to solution to every political problem lately. Similarly, maybe he'll also tell us that the Democrats killed Khashoggi.

Nice try, do you really think that a leftist would do something like this just to blame someone else? This is a trump nut that has been to trumps rallies.

He will probably claim to pay for the legal fees of said person/persons when arrested.
