I mean this. Trump's handlers did something very wise - apparently the border community he is slated to visit to share his wit and wisdom and Trumpisms galore (sarc fully on here but ending after this sentence) is McAllen, Texas. Brilliant move and I was actually hoping a Texas border city would be picked for his visit.
Why? Because Trump is mostly hated in California (and with good reason, witness the recent brouhaha with Trump wanting to deny California FEMA money after the massive fires), and very actively disliked in New Mexico, which is a poor state overall but is surprisingly quite liberal and progressive (it's like the poor person's California in some ways). This leaves Arizona and Texas as border states to visit. Trump is unwise to appear in Arizona these days as Arizona is getting more liberal by the day with all the Californians and also folks from expensive, liberal Northeast states moving here.....Arizona is purple now and not reliably red and I'm very grateful I've lived to see this day. It's not the best place for him to show his face given that his message will not be received as well here as it would have even ten years ago. This leaves Texas......so long as he avoids Austin and El Paso, both very reliably blue (but for different reasons) he can find people receptive to his message.
Gotta give his handlers some credit for having the common sense to figure this out. I seriously doubt Senor Trump left to his own devices has the basic intelligence and/or common sense to understand the above. Rob
