At rally, Trump paints bleak picture of Democratic control

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally in Fayetteville, N.C., Monday, Sept. 9, 2019. Last Updated Monday, September 9, 2019 11:04PM EDT

While the stakes for the House are high, Trump's trademark rallies inevitably become more about him than the local candidate, as he uses the stage to settle political scores, sharpen attacks and take on perceived foes. With an eye to his own reelection next fall, he touted his administration's accomplishments but also urged voters to give him more time.

The president enjoys wide popularity within his own party, but a GOP defeat in a red-leaning state could portend trouble for his reelection campaign. But before leaving Washington, Trump dismissed questions of whether a poor result for the Republican candidate would serve as a warning sign in next year's elections.After a light rally schedule of late, the president had plenty of new material to work with.

Monday's rally was held just over 100 miles from the site of a Trump rally in July where "send her back" chants aimed at a Somali-born American congresswoman rattled the Republican Party and seemed to presage an ugly reelection campaign.Instead, Trump repeatedly painted the Democrats as a party that has moved to the extreme left on issues like immigration, abortion and health care.

Many of the president's comments about the storm have been defending his erroneous claim that Alabama was likely to face significant impact from it. Trump did not mention the matter at Monday's rally. "This will tell us if Trump can carry candidates through suburban districts or not," said Sarah Chamberlain, president of the Republican Main Street Partnership, which represents moderate Republicans. If not, she said, the GOP must "work harder to address the concerns of suburban individuals, mainly women."

it is an election year for him he has to get all the neo natzi groups out there to kill off the minority and the deranged gun carrying killers to go on a mass shootings in realDonaldTrump name they do it all for him NRAOwnsTrump

How about Canadian news for a change? This sad Twitter account is a stain on Canadian journalism.

Well CTV news - is that all he said -- Trump said his opponents are bleak! -- is that his comedy line and then makes a joke about how honest and truthful and without corruption Trump is? Was there anyone else there besides the crowd behind?
