WaPo: Trump's Baltimore visit "could be disastrous, inciting local protests"

Rachael Bade

FLAG IT: Trump will visit Baltimore Thursday -- a majority-black city he recently called a ‘rodent infested mess’ -- to attend the GOP retreat.

My R sources are already privately speculating that this could be disastrous, inciting local protests

administration. One thing for sure, though, the GOP is finished as a national party. Their sitting by the sidelines doing nothing tells one quite a bit about this party and what they truly and actually believe in. That the vast majority of us don't deserve tax breaks, don't deserve a decent wage, don't deserve adequate health care or housing, etc. And of course the top notch issue, don't allow any of our trillion dollar companies to pay any tax!!

Ferguson, MO, and BLM are underestimated as to the impact on the 2016 election.

MAGAts and too many independents look at those events, gathering of protesters, and see things completely differently than us. They see scary black people promoting lawlessness.

I'm not saying they are right, I am saying that is how they filter things. I have taken a lot of heat here stating that Repukes are bad people. Too many don't want to accept it, but they truly have a difficult time seeing things for what they are, they are much more comfortable seeing things for what they are told.

Worlds change from block to block. I lived on Guilford near Hopkins campus, two west over was rough, two blocks north were green grassy homes. Used to run by the stadium on 33rd Street.

Baltimore doesn't take any crap, Hon.
