No more so than all the golf courses Obozo played while making "official" trips.

But I'm not sure it would make a difference. As OnOurWayHome noted, there are people who have publicly stated it didn't matter to them, and they would still vote for a pedophile over a Democrat.

I was told over and over that while Hillary was a terrible candidate, that we needed to vote for her anyway simply so the GOP didn't win. That is the same kind of thinking many who support Moore take.

If the people of Alabama elect Jones, it will show that they have more going for them then those who still defend their selection of Hillary.
The people of alabama are choosing the lesser of two evils. Child molestor over liberal.

Fox News Poll: Enthused Democrats give Jones lead over Moore in Alabama

Democrat Doug Jones holds a 10-point lead over Republican Roy Moore among likely voters in deep red Alabama.

If you're in Hollywood or a comedian it's ok just ask Roman Polanski and all of his supporters that gave him awards. Barbara Walters told Corey Feldman to shutup on national TV because he said there was a problem.

Conservatives and republicans are held to a different standard

BULL -- I've been to the area many many many many many times.

I suspect there were more Alabamians then Floridians there - especially this time of year.

That still doesn't provide a sensible, reason for holding it in another state.

You just make up stuff in your head -- Barbara Walters said to Feldman that the accusations were serious -- she never told him to shut up.

You may be right, but I don't think your singular example alone....at least with the information provided...shows that I'm wrong. I had two related thoughts while reading that example:

1. What were the road conditions and weather like when Trump was in SLC? (If the weather and road conditions = enough below ideal....and the SS would have to deal with that....that might outweigh the flight inconvenience issue.

2. Where was he headed next?

---------

Your point re the promise from two or so weeks ago could be significant. I could see Kelly trying to get Trump to pay attention to that.
I did also acknowledge your scenario was still possible. Just sharing an example of the travel for a recent event.

Let’s see...I do think there was a little light snow off and on, but emphasis on light. It melted away quickly overall and I don’t recall any real freeway problems, etc. Maybe I will view the video of his visit and see if it was even snowing during that window he was here.

I remember being amused at how Raleigh basically shut down when we were visiting and got like 1/2” snow. Here we are ready with snow plows all the time and life goes on. Snow days would only happen in heavy snowfalls. It’s possible it was heavier at Hill, but unknown. Barring that, it would have been about the same experience in either place as far as getting around.

Afterwards he just went back to the WH, I read, so that would have been practically the same from SLC or Hill.

Already gave you one.

Candidates do this all the time. Just like when Hillary and Bill Clinton campaigned in Ft Mill South Carolina, for Charlotte North Carolina. The venue worked for them at that time.

Did you ask questions about that. Of course not. The MSM didn't tell you to.
