First Lindsey Graham begging for money….
Now Donald Trump begging for support form suburban women?
(Using crime and racism )
What are Republicans coming to?
It’s THAT bad for them….
Probably a bit too late?
President Trump on Tuesday made an appeal to suburban women to support his reelection bid amid polls showing his campaign cratering among that particular group of voters in the final sprint to Election Day.
At a campaign rally in Johnstown, Pa., Trump touted his repeal of an Obama-era regulation meant to expand low-income housing in suburbs in an attempt to quash racial discrimination and his support for law enforcement as reasons suburban voters should flock to his campaign.
“They talk about the suburban women. And somebody said, ‘I don’t know if the suburban woman likes you.’ I said, ‘Why?’” Trump told the crowd, though he did not clarify to whom he had spoken. “They said, ‘They may not like the way you talk,’ but I’m about law and order. I’m about having you safe. I’m about having your suburban communities. I don’t want to build low-income housing next to your house.”
“Suburban women, they should like me more than anybody here tonight because I ended the regulation that destroyed your neighborhood. I ended the regulation that brought crime to the suburbs, and you’re going to live the American dream,” he added. “So can I ask you to do me a favor? Suburban women, will you please like me? I saved your damn neighborhood, OK?”
The plea comes amid GOP hand-wringing that Trump’s flagging poll numbers in the suburbs and in crucial battleground states will doom his reelection campaign….

Or kiss them if they come to his rally…probably grab something as well…
”’kiss the guys…hug the women?”’
Keep the suburbs safely white — wrong in 1948, wrong in 1958, wrong in 1968, wrong in 1976, wrong in 2000, wrong in 2016, wrong today.
Back in 1948, had Trump been 22 instead of 2 years old, he would have been campaigning to save the suburbs and their women safe from synagogues.
And today’s suburbs are more diverse and tolerant now than they were in 1968.
Trump didn’t know a suburb then snd he sure as hell doesn’t know one now.
