Taking note that Biden received favorable publicity by joining striking union members at a UAW plant in Detroit Michigan, the Donald decided to hold a campaign  rally (at the same time as the Republican presidential debate) in Michigan.  According to public records obtained by the inimitable staff of Rachel Maddow, the Trump people paid $20,000 for permission to rally in front of a plant and pictures abounded of signs shouting “Trump for Unions” and “Unions Love Trump.” Of course when asked by a reporter if the sign holder was a union man, the answer was “no.”  In fact, that particular plant did not even have a union.  O.M.G.  And yet Mr. and Mrs. America, having lunch in a nearby diner, stoutly insisted they would vote for Trump, even though they couldn’t really come up with a good reason why. I am keeping the faith that reason will prevail in November.
