Donald Trump Jr. coming to Maine to support GOP

[left-of-center2012]

The president’s eldest son is coming to Maine in October to raise funds for the state Republican Party and its challenger to U.S. Sen. Angus King (I-ME).

Donald Trump Jr. and the state GOP will host a $100-per-person reception at the Portland Holiday Inn to support state Sen. Eric Brakey, R-Auburn, the party’s underdog challenger to King, and other candidates in the final weeks before the November election.

The Maine GOP announced the Oct. 1 fundraiser the day after King, an Independent who caucuses with the Democrats, said he would vote against President Donald Trump’s latest nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The reception at the Portland Holiday Inn will also include ... outgoing Gov. Paul LePage and other state Republican leaders. In a statement, Brakey said that he’s “thrilled” to help host Trump Jr. and that the visit will be a “huge” boost to his effort to unseat King.

1. A $100 a plate fundraiser? Wow, the value of a rump visit has gone down hugely! nt

2. Ha!! "Good luck" flipping King out of office

At the point it would make more sense for him to do a banner Susan Collins fundraiser. Junior even campaigned for Pops in Mississippi back in 2016 after the nomination had been cinched. Nothing like putting one's efforts to work in areas where the outcome was never in doubt.

5. Why anyone would pay $100 to be in Jr.'s presence is beyond me. nt
