Same mayor "invited" 20,000 Haitians in a four year period.

A Republican mayor.

Apparently according to a Republican Trumpy is worse for Springfield than 20,000 Haitian immigrants.

Visiting Springfield would just be a continuation of the original diversion. Anything to keep the media's attention on this hoax.

Should this happen, the citizens of Springfield would be well advised to let Trump come face to face with what appears to be a ghost town ~ if you get my drift. It wouldn't hurt to have a mysterious electrical outage at the same time.

Does is matter what color t-shirt a member of the uni-party wears when they are stupid and corrupt?

an extreme strain on...

credulity?
patience?
believability?
truthiness?
validity?
taste?

I could go on.

happiness?
joyfulness?
attitude?
depression levels?

Whatever the actual number, most of them are there legally and are a productive part of the community. A stark contrast to whomever is disrupting the town with bomb threats and bigotry.

The Haitians: revitalizing the city, such a nonthreat that wild stories have to be made up about them

Trump and Vance: directly responsible for bomb threats; scared citizens, children and parents; cancelling events...

If he does go for a visit, make sure you get paid up front. At least $250,000 for the extra security, other wise you will be holding the bag, again.

Smart mayor. He knows the Trump campaign doesn't pay their bills. I wouldn't welcome that freak show in my town either.

No one wants Trump coming around.

Everything Trump touches dies.

Look at the Republican Party.

It's a husk of what it used to be.

A bunch of ignorant angry morons are running that party.

And a bunch of ignorant angry losers are voting for them.

If politicians are not working solely with diligence to help those citizens that elected them and that they serve have a better life then they need thrown out. These people were brought here for the destructive politics by destructive corrupt pols. Party sometimes doesnt fix ethics. Bringing in costly outsiders is not in our interest. Every immigration type policy and bill should be signed off by citizens because ultimately they are the ones potentially harmed. Crooked politicians should have no say in importing outsiders.

Imagine --------- ever thinking the Republican party used to be something he supported. These ------- douchenozzles literally cry about every Republican candidate. Who's the last guy they didn't cry about? Bob Dole?

"Romney will put ya'll back in chains" - Joe Biden

Apparently Romney supports (supported?) slavery back in 2012 but now he's cool because he's critical of Trump.
