This whole Omaha thing is a perfect metaphor.

He asks for people's time and attention. He basks in their applause.

Then he leaves them in the cold to fend for themselves.

Needs to be an ad.

EDIT: You guys were right, the Lincoln Project was on it:

1. I am sure The Lincoln Project will have one up by lunchtime.

2. I've no doubt TLP is in final production as I write this. nt

[leftieNanner]

3. I'm guessing that TLP is on it!

They have been turning ads out with lightning speed!

Looks like you beat them to it!

[GusBob]

4. Perhaps but

They will all still vote for him. I've yet to see any news stories from the stranded people

so the metaphor could backfire, after all with kids in cages, millions of infections and 230k deaths, they will still vote for him

so a few cases of cold feet aint likely to stop them

[smb]

9. Yep -- They Aren't Even Smart Enough To Turn Blue When Left Out To Freeze nt

[scarletwoman]

18. I see what you did there!

[RussellCattle]

19. Laughed out loud at that one.

[tinrobot]

26. Of course they will, but they are by no means the majority

Anyone else would see this debacle and at least think twice before voting.

5. Let's call it the October

No surprise

6. The fact that he needed to campaign in Nebraska is telling

for one electoral college vote? One?

[Wellstone ruled]

11. No,it was a money pick up trip.

Ricketts Family no doubt cut him a big check. Remember Ricketts Bank got the exclusive Debt Card thing from the first Stimulus. Plus,they collect the 10% usage fee off those cards.

[underpants]

12. Ok. That I wasn't aware of

Thanks

[Wellstone ruled]

14. Ricketts runs a Subprime Credit Card

operation out of Souix Falls Sodak. It's been almost fifteen plus years since making sales calls on their Offices,but,at the time they had two operations going and worked tie ins with CITI Corp which was another Client.

Ricketts family has been the Bag Man for Republican Politics in Nebraska for several decades.

8. As well planned as their Covid-19 response

In other words, no planning at all. Planning is hard.

10. This is satire but is still funny

13. I Was Just Thinking The Same Exact Thing

Those poor schmucks wait and wait in the cold for him to show up...

Then they get only around 30 minutes of their cult-ish joy (most rallies are an hour and a half to two hours...)

Then he flies off just like that, and they're left on a cold dark road to fend for themselves.

With Trump it's not fly-over country, it's fly away and die country.

[Totally Tunsie]

29. Sounds like New Year's Eve in Times Square.

All that waiting, and no peeing, just waiting for that flash moment of joy, and then *POOF* it's all over and you're out in the cold and dark.

Welcome to DU!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

15. And at taxpayer's expense for most of it....

including paying most of the medical bills, police costs and two 747s and his chopper.

Not even counting untraced COVID spread and probable deaths.

Just so he can get his jollies off for an hour and distract the press from real issues for another day.

We are indeed a very sick nation.........

17. Joe Biden calls out trump's photo op stunt

[scarletwoman]

20. That's a great video clip - thank you!

[Cozmo]

21. At his rally in Nebraska the asshole says , "We gotta win both the Nebraskas!" HUH???

[Johnny2X2X]

22. And it happened because Trump didn't pay his bill

The bus company was told they would be paid on arrival, they showed up, no pay. They dropped people off, still no pay. They were told everyone would be wearing masks, no one was. So they left rather than risk getting sick and not getting paid.

[rusty fender]

23. Trumpassers went for the covid,

but froze off their asses instead.

No worries for Trumpass though because the frozen assholes will blame everyone but him

[kimbutgar]

24. I don't think it changes any of his cult members minds.

They are so far gone on him they will freeze to death literally!

[drmeow]

27. Like that guy Cheney shot in the face

they will apologize to him for it!

[kimbutgar]

28. Yep

They are goners.

[BobTheSubgenius]

25. It DOES need to be an ad.

And a talking point spoken loudly. It's too close to D-Day (see what I did there? :chuckle for a slow rollout.
