Gary Sargent on The Plum Line notes one of the Republican strategies is to keep President Trump away from swing districts:
And so Trump’s advisers are keeping him away from “the entire Pacific Coast,” since numerous contested races are playing out in California. They are also keeping him away from media markets that include suburbs around places such as Minneapolis and Kansas City, and other areas where GOP incumbents “are attempting to convince their suburban electorate that they are independent of Mr. Trump.”
In other words, in many of the suburban and well-educated districts that will decide control of the House, Trump remains at least partly toxic. This is directly relevant to the argument about the caravan.
So perhaps a creative Democratic operative should rent out medium sized arenas in these swing districts under an anonymous name, and then start a rumor that President Trump is expected to show up with just a little warning.
Stir up the ant-hill, as it were.
