25. Seems as if more and more people are agreeing with what I've mentioned for the past year:

the networks should stop broadcasting the Trump pep rallies. They are supposed to be about his support of local candidates, and should be of local interest only. The cost should be on local Republicans only, but I suspect the cost is paid for by all of us. The local candidate is lucky to be mentioned, while Trump rants on and on about the Democrats in general, and whoever else he is currently hating. It's always the same old braggadocio and lies. If he has something to say that is of important and interest to all of us, fine. Otherwise, he can't be gone soon enough. I'm beginning to suspect many of his "base" are showing up to be entertained and join in the mindless chanting. I doubt if many of them even know or care about the targets of his rancor any more than Trump really does.
