Twelve presidential primary candidates will vie for the Democrat Party’s nomination during a debate tonight in the Buckeye State. The CNN/New York Times debate at Otterbein University kicks off at 8: pm ET and will last until 11: 00 pm. While the candidates will almost certainly lob attacks against President Trump during the course of the evening, the president’s campaign will launch a message of its own before the event.
According to Trump campaign Director of Communications Tim Murtaugh, the president’s campaign will fly a banner through the Ohio skies that reads “Socialism Destroys Ohio Jobs. Vote Trump.” The sign will fly for a total of six hours with a break between the first and second three-hour flights. The banner will also invite readers to “Text ‘USA’ 88022.”
If you’re near Westerville, Ohio today - site of another calamitous Dem debate - look up!@TeamTrump is flying another aerial banner warning voters of threatened big government socialism.
