It’s a good thing for the Democrats that they replaced President Joe Biden with the much younger Kamala Harris because on the campaign trail – especially in these closing few weeks – they’ve needed someone to keep up with the breakneck campaigning pace of Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump.
To cite one example: Trump just spoke in Greensboro not long ago and now his campaign has announced that the former president is returning to the city two days after Halloween.
Trump will hold a rally in Greensboro on Saturday, Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m. Doors will open at 3:30 p.m. at the Greensboro Coliseum at 1921 West Gate City Blvd. in Greensboro.

While the rally won’t start until that evening, the true MAGA faithful often show up very early to meet, converse, and demonstrate their support for Trump.
The visit shows the importance of the State of North Carolina’s 16 electoral votes, which could determine the next president if the race is as close as the polling says it is.
The last time a Democrat won the state was back in 2008 when Barack Obama won by the slimmest of margins, and, though some argue that “North Carolina doesn’t swing,” the Trump campaign is trying to cover all of its bases in the final stretch before the election.
Earlier in the day, Trump will also hit Gastonia, North Carolina, where he’ll speak at the Gastonia Municipal Airport.
The Kamala Harris campaign has North Carolina in its sights as well. Harris will appear in Charlotte, also on Nov. 2.
Harris likes to bring some big names with her when she holds rallies, and her event in Charlotte will double as a concert. Actress Kerry Washington – known largely from the ABC series Scandal – will speak at that rally. Musicians– including Jon Bon Jovi and Khalid – are scheduled to perform.
Trump last came to the Greensboro Coliseum on Tuesday evening, Oct. 22, and spoke for about two hours.
In Greensboro in October Trump went off course occasionally but hit on his big issues of the economy and immigration. Trump argued then that, by ramping up fracking in the nation, energy prices would come down.
He also, of course, threw in some of his old favorites – like claiming that Harris is “stupid” and that Biden has been the worst president in history.
And, if Trump seems to go off on a long tangent on November 2, remember that he’s not “rambling”– it’s all part of a brilliant “weave.”
Anti-Trump snide sarcasm and a cheap shot at the founder and former Editor of The Rhino.
This is below you, Scott.
Austin, that was just a small joke in the last line of the story. I did not mean anything by it. Besides, wasn’t it JD Vance who just said everybody needs to have a little sense of humor in this election. I really feel like even the very strongest Trump supporters would agree that he sometimes goes off topic during his speeches.
Okay Scott, but there seems to be a new tone and tenor at The Rhino, and I’m not the only one who’s noticing it.
And the gratuitous reference to John Hammer’s latest Substack article (“North Carolina Doesn’t Swing”) comes across as a cheap jibe.
I have nothing but respect for John Hammer but I am not as confident as he is that NC will go Trump’s way. I think there is at least a possibility that the Dems could flip the state.
We all need more humor in our take on current events. Especially with how weird things have gotten in our politics of late. Heck, Trumpers are now walking around in trash bags! At least they got the joke. Good for them.
Let’s be real – he sometimes stays on topic. He’s off topic most of the time.
Austin I agree with you.
She is not
Smart at all.
Got in law school with now Illigal affirmative action and then one of 26 pc of her law class to flunk the bar her first test.
At least she doesn’t lie about being first in her class and then refuse to allow the school to release his grades. Lol, I am not sure Trump can read above a 5th grade reading level.
I disagree. The article was very even-handed. Nobody was insulted and certainly no snide remarks. Trump is not beyond a little joking. Any guy with that hair-do and orange-tinted skin ( I guess from tanning lotion?) who speaks (rambles) off the cuff with “exaggerations”, childish name-calling, often detached from facts and certainly lacking the discipline needed to get through a debate he should easily win……well, deserves some derision. I hate to vote for Trump, but can’t vote for Kamala. But, Trump deserves snide sarcasm and jokes. With all the ridiculous name-calling and false claims, he deserves it. And, he’s a big boy and doesn’t need anybody’s defense.
This isn’t Saturday Night Live.
Greensboro was punished once with trumps cult like visit. We don’t need a second run…
Go Trump !!! Let’s Make America Great Again !!! We need to be able to live, put food on the table for our families. We will not survive 4 more years of this mess.
Yeah…screw the strong employment numbers, the reduced inflation from Trumps poor economic spending policies, the record job growth, the record stock market, the record oil production….nuts to all that. Let’s have across the board tariffs that drive up prices, crush economic growth, and tank the stock market!!!! That’s the Economy Trump has planned for us!!
“Strong employment numbers”….???
Are you deranged?
Latest jobs report was the worst since covid. Twelve thousand nationwide for the month. But UBU Chris
Right, Peter.
Our Village Idiot (Chris) lies continually and chronically.
Unemployment is 4.1%
And yet, the economy seems to poll as one of the largest concerns. Of course inflation is down to 2-3%. But that is on top of the 10% we had for about two years (cumulative 20%). As for job growth, very mixed. And, it appears the subsequent corrections reveal the released numbers are often overstated. Rent, mortgage rates, chaos from bad border/immigrant management and prices paid at the register do not lie. All is not as rosy as you want us to believe. Prices are NOT down, they are just increasing at a slower rate. I really can’t stand the orange man but Kamala is clueless with all of her flip flopping. We really need a do-over.
Prices don’t drop once inflation caused by Trump and covid is resolved. Corps keep the prices high to increase profits. As the economy finally does down due to the interest rates, prices will ease but it takes time.
But I promise that across the board tariffs will only spike prices more.
But you be you
Do I have to explain the difference between the unemployment rate and the employment numbers, Chrissy..???
And you claim to be such an economics expert !
You’re pathetic.
I signed up to go and instructions for attendees are that they are being charged $20 for parking. I’ll just leave it at that and see if someone else can “weave” the rest of the story.
That’s a coliseum decision, not a Trump decision. The coliseum gives nothing for free.
Ernest goins goin GONE! KKKAMALA can’t read a teleprompter the length of time that Trump freestyles at his rally’s. Instead of dinner and a show perhaps you can settle for just a word salad. She’s a dolt who got to where she is by being good in the bedroom not in the boardroom. Vote with your brain… oops, sorry libtard. Perhaps that would require a transplant.
Trump got where he is because of daddy’s money. Period

I greatly look forward to the election being OVER… read what you wrote.. people are exhausted and there is so much more to LIFE … stop…. breath…. take a walk… do something fun with your kids. Start soon. pace yourself with 24 hours of no politics…. then try 48 hours of no politics…Read a book…..make an apple pie…
Tuesday might be election day Gail but then the litigation season kicks in. A DNC spokesman just said that the democrats have a huge budget and attorneys in place in all the swing states not to mention nationwide if needed to file immediate court actions wherever they can bring suit. Just getting started lol.
Democrats, yet again, will have to save democracy by stopping the sore loser’s atremp to steal the election.
You must have seen the same interview Chris and concede that is the plan for dems going forward. It’s a time tested tactic for the democrats to fight in the courts for what they can’t win by ballot. Goes to show how important down ballot races are. But this also gives a glimpse behind the curtain on how the DNC feels the election will go and how the empty pant suit will perform. At least you are able to admit that. Call it defending democracy if it makes you feel better. The dems threw out democracy when they kicked out Biden
You must be reading the fiction section as most of the lawsuits filed about the election are from the right. And if you will recall, it was the Republicans that tried to steal the election in 2020 using the courts. Of course, all their cases were tossed out without merit.
But you be you
One thing is certain:
By the morning of Wendnesday November 6th, neither will remember NC even exists.
If the Triad is such a hot spot for Republicans, why can’t the Guilford County Republican Party find someone, anyone, to run against Skip Alston for County Commissioner?
