Putin would have this dude for lunch.

for Trump supporters: this is called Public Duty. And yes, you should be able to handle more than 1 thing at a time. However, you can't physically be in more than 1 place at a time. He needs to be in his city. he has made the right decision

Superman - in his tights and cape- to the rescue !

Canceling political event; thus placing his state's needs over his presidential ambitions is just another star in PB's crown.

“So when an incident like this happens, I want to make sure it’s understood...that we care.” -- South Bend Mayor

This is the 7th homicide in the City this year, the most recent less than 2 weeks ago & a young African-American male from a gun. Why no trip back to the City then? Is this prompted because it's campaign season? Or because a police officer shot an African-American male? Or both?

Good for him 👍🏼

If he cannot do more than 1 thing at a time maybe he shouldn't be running for POTUS?
