These Republican rallies every week for four years are paid for by taxpayers. It is basically making the U.S. taxpayer pay for the Republican presidential campaign. Not a single word is uttered against it by Trump supporters, yet they whined endlessly if Obama even went to Los Angeles.

Is this now the new standard? Taxpayers pay for the president to campaign across the country for the entire four years they are in office with rallies every week promoting whoever is running in a given location?

Exactly. Obama didn't do 10% of what Trump does and this essentially is becoming taxpayer money siphoned into the Republican party. If that is the standard, Democrats should do the exact same thing. Use taxpayer money to fund the party's election efforts throughout the entire four years. Since Trump supporters are silent about this, they should be equally silent in the future when a Democrat does it.

The right-wing media tells them to go one way and they nod their heads, then tells them to go opposite and they nod their heads. Back and forth, flip-flop...flip-flop, like fish out of water.

He told us he would create some reason to make that travel expense government business. Always a plant to visit, then a rally.

When he first announced, I was all for him. Not so much because I believed Hillary was crooked. Just her being for any war she ever saw and a corporate Democrat was enough for me. But as time went on, it was easy to see he was as ethically challenge as those he was accusing.

It's all in plan sight.

Better get used to it. Donny'll be needing his public therapy sessions more than ever now that Bob Woodward's book and the NYT editorial have revealed beyond a doubt that the God Emperor has no clothes.

Please stop lying.

In no way did Obama hold rallies once a month to massage his ego like Trump does.

I thought the RNC was paying for all that?
