president Donald Trump who as a candidate warned that he alone could fix
the nation's ills is making them in terms a referendum on the one thing he
appears most comfortable talking about himself while Trump is not personally
facing re-election until 2020 he is asking supporters to suspend their
disbelief and imagine that his head is on the chopping block the president is
telling thousands of devotees at his rallies that a vote for Republicans is
really a vote for me and make America great again I'm not on the ballot
Trump conceded to the crowd in Southaven miss but in a certain way I'm on the
ballot so please go out and vote president seldom leaned in so far ahead
of their first midterm election fearing that an embarrassing rebuke could weaken
their public esteem and presage disaster for their reelection bids but Trump
often personalizes events and tends to approaches use through the lens of his
own experiences he's also shown little concern for shifting responsibility when
the situation deteriorates Trump is expected to continue the me centric
strategy at rallies in Erie Park on Wednesday Lebanon Ohio on Friday and
Richmond ki on Saturday giving voice to what White House officials and
Republicans close to the president believe is their best hope to counteract
a Democratic wave based on polling but one opponents and some in the GOP
contender die alienating middle of road and marginal district voters more than a
half dozen administration officials and presidential allies said that after
months of experimentation they've honed in on the crux of Trump's midterm
message contrasting the strong economy low unemployment and elimination of
regulations under his watch with doomsday warnings about life under
democratic rule they want to erase the games and plunge our country into a
nightmare of gridlock poverty chaos and frankly crime as the president put it
Thursday in Rochester Minnesota you don't hand matches to an arsonist and
you don't give power to an angry left-wing mob and that's what the
Democrats have become Trump added Tuesday in
Council Bluffs Iowa they would turn our country so fast into Venezuela and
Venezuela is not doing too well folks central to the president's midterm peak
the aides and allies offered is his bid to corral voters who came out for him
two years ago but who don't feel that same urgency to back a candidate for
Congress but traditionally unpopular lot that Trump has been critical of during
his tenure in red states he won in 2016 the president is trying to persuade
supporters to break with their Democratic senators and line up behind
Republican candidates Trump likes to argue Republicans barely hold majorities
in the House and Senate portraying their edge as so threadbare that if someone
catches a cold they lose their advantage but each rally
and fundraise there is also a down payment for Trump's own campaign in 2020
every visit he makes helps him in the future an outside advisor told POLITICO
there's the heavyweight champ and then there's the undercard they're coming to
see the heavyweight champ putting himself at the center of the election
comes naturally to drum who's outside at persona and history of taking on his
party's establishment don't easily lend themselves to the role of standard
bearer aides still view him as more effective at attacking his own political
enemies than he is at challenging the opponents of his allies to that end the
president's team is playing up his warnings that a democratic congressional
takeover would open the floodgates for higher taxes spiraling crime and
unchecked border and the start of congressional investigations and
impeachment proceedings against him if it does happen it's your fault because
you didn't go out to vote okay Trump recently told a crowd about the specter
of impeachment that's the only way it could happen I'll be the only president
in history they'll say what a job he's done by the way we are impeaching him he
is also generically yoking Democrats to their leaders in Congress while
vilifying the likes of low IQ rep Maxine Waters Democrat California whom he
relishes attacking to drive home his message in Minnesota
he asked supporters to imagine the power waters would have if Democrats take
charge she's going to take over financial services in Congress he
cautioned as the audience booed can you believe it
Maxine Waters that's one of the most powerful committees in Congress not
everyone is sold on the approach some Republican pollsters including those who
report seeing a bump in GOP enthusiasm over the Supreme Court confirmation
fight of Justice Brett Kavanaugh are unsure it will last and how much Trump
is going to help others point to numbers showing the party slipping further with
newly motivated key constituencies college-educated women and younger women
who tend to vote Democratic but don't typically turnout for midterms the goal
of a trump rally is to incite anger to distort reality to spread conspiracies
and more than anything to feed Trump's own ego democratic national committee
spokesman Daniel vessel said but no Trump rally will distract Americans from
Trump's numerous broken promises and his failure to improve the lives of working
Americans in private conversations the president is said to be realistic about
the gops narrowing chances of holding the house publicly his past boasting
about an improbable red wave has gone unmentioned since early September to the
elation of aides who cite polls showing that the happy talk was discouraging
Republicans from recognizing the urgency of November we need him to say we could
lose the outside advisor said you need to get out and vote
Trump's aides have set him on a course to appear at more midterm rallies than
his two immediate predecessors presidents Barack Obama and George W
Bush officials in charge of Trump's schedule are relying on polling to
dispatch him to areas where he moves the needle in a positive direction and
keeping him out of districts where he's seen as a possible liability still they
note he has an impact there regardless through his fundraising the president
has also been doing national and local interviews while on the road but it's
his rallies that have the effect of energizing trum who reads the room early
and matches his exuberance to the crowds Republicans in turn describe a surge in
local media that a trump event brings them including front page newspaper
stories and wall to all TV and radio hits clips of Trump speaking about the
candidates and their opponents are now being featured in dozens of TV ads it's
like a secret weapon Minnesota Republican Party chairwoman Jennifer
Carnahan said of the rallies adding that she fields interview requests before and
well after the president leaves town the Trump visit is a heck of a lot more
powerful than any media Buy you'll see or any direct mail you'll buy Carnahan
added in recent stops the president has road-tested attacks on his potential
2020 Democratic opponents celebrated the confirmation of given or and touted the
administration's negotiations with Mexico and Canada that sparked an UNIF
to pact he also is playing up the GOP tax cuts along with support for the
military law enforcement the border wall and the administration's aggressive
confrontation against unauthorized immigrants Trump aids meantime are
pleased with how much he is sticking to the script building in time upfront for
Republican candidates to speak at his rallies as was the case in 2016 a big
part of the appeal is still his spontaneity they said he's been using
the addresses to air deep-rooted grievances with the news media and to
launch into extended diatribes about how he deserves more credit for America's
successes what some people find to be his greatest negative many people view
as his biggest positive that's the key to understanding his appeal another ally
of the president said in assessing his midterm draw he recognizes that he is
his administration's best messenger and best salesman
