9:45 PM: Trump stressing the importance of electing more Republicans in the fall.

9:37 PM: Trump claims he probably won the 2016 because of women. “I think we probably won because of women. Sorry, men.” He wonders what women want…. says they want “real security and economic security. They don’t want to have criminals all over the place.”

He says women want great families and want to raise great families and want “great education for their family and their kids.” He says he can provide that and not Democrats….

9:33 PM: Trump, on Pocahontas. He says he said he had “more Indian blood in me than she does and I have none. And I was right. But the only good thing she did… I can’t call her Pocahontas anymore.” Trump says she can’t call her Pocahontas because she has such little Indian blood and then says he will continue to call her Pocahontas to show that she is a “phony.”

9:30 PM: Trump now says Ronny Jackson may not have been qualified to run the VA but would have done a “fantastic” and “great job.”

9:27 PM: Trump, after mocking Spartacus, says he doesn’t want to mediocre Democrats “so hard that they don’t make it” to the general.

He’s now mocking “sleepy Joe Biden.” Trump says if he and Biden ever fought, he’d take Biden down faster than Gianforte could.

9:25 PM: Trump, again going back to Kavanaugh, blast the “big con job” on Kavanaugh. “I don’t think he was expecting that,” Trump says. He now mocks Feinstein (“she leaked!”).

9:20 PM: Trump, talking about trade, says “we’re not going to have companies leaving the United States anymore…” Trump says Rosendale is a “really successful guy really respected by everybody” and adds that “he’s going to be a great Senator for you.” Trump points out that Tester has a D rating from the NRA, voted for liberal Obama judges who want to take away your second amendment, is against enhanced vetting, and is for sanctuary cities.

Trump says: “We’re in Montana. How can you have a D rating from the NRA and get votes?”

9:17 PM: Trump says on immigration, Tester can be described with two words: “open borders.” He mentions that Tester voted against Kate’s Law.

Trump then mocks California gubernatorial candidate Gavin Newsom for supporting open borders–“the whole world is going to go to California.” “He’s asking everybody in the world to just come on in. We’re going to take care of your health care. We’re going to take care of your schools…. Gimme a break!” Trump then says California Republican gubernatorial candidate John Cox is making good progress but it’s tough for a Republican to win in California because the Golden State (some of its residents have relocated to Montana) has become “crazy.”

9:14 PM: Trump wonders if Democrats can really not care about tax cuts, crime, and the military. “Is that some way to get elected? How do you do that?” Trump says “Tester says one thing to voters and always does the opposite. In Washington, he talks like he’s from Montana… and then votes like Nancy Pelosi.”

Trump says Tester is supported by radical donors who don’t care about and don’t know anything about Montana. Trump hammering Tester for voting agains the tax cuts after Rosendale brought up judges and Obamacare.

9:06 PM: “They just don’t want to give us a victory,” Trump says of Democrats who supported the wall in 2006 and oppose it now. “Israel has a wall.”

Trump says the caravan is more proof that the wall is necessary.

9:04 PM: Trump says he would’t want to wrestle Gianforte and then says:”any guy that can do a body slam… he’s my guy.”

Trump says when he heard that Gianforte had body-slammed a left-wing reporter, Trump says he thought it would actually help Gianforte win his race.

9:02 PM: Trump says Democrats have become too dangerous to be trusted with power…He wonders how the hell Montana elected Tester. Trump then praises Sen. Daines and Rep. Gianforte.

9:00 PM: Trump says Democrats will take away health care and open up borders to drugs. He says Democrats are the “party of crime” and “nobody’s even challenged it.”

8:59 PM: Trump: “Democrats produce mobs. Republicans produce jobs.” Trump now commenting about Montana’s beautiful Big Sky…

8:57 PM: Trump says Tester has been “disgraceful” and says it’s going to be “fighting, fighting” even if Democrats just win the House.

8:49 PM: After saying “never forget Benghazi,” (Trump says voters could forget about everything other than Clinton’s emails before saying they can never forget about Benghazi) Trump mocks Clinton’s “acid-washing” of her emails… and talks about collusion… He mocks the stupidity of people thinking that he would call the Russians to help him win elections. “It’s a disgrace. It was an excuse made by Democrats for losing an election that, frankly, they should win,” Trump says.

8:47 PM: Trump on his perfect presidential election batting average:

“We’re one for one and it’s going to be two for two, and that’s going to be it,” Trump says. He says eight years is all the time he needs to make America great again and mocks the media for saying that Trump wants to serve more than two terms.

8:44 PM: Trump mocks people for saying it’s “obstruction” when he fights back. He says he fights back harder and wins.

8:43 PM: Trump now mocking the paid protesters who are paid by someone like “Soros.” He calls Democrats the “radical resistance.” Trump says the protesters got signs from the finest printers in DC–“they weren’t made in the basement.”

“They’re a lot of rigged things going on in this country,” Trump says. “Just ask Bernie Sanders. You think things are rigged, Bernie?”

8:41 PM: Trump blasts “catch and release,” says there are “hardened” criminals coming in that America has to take in… ”

“You think those people are perfect? They’re not perfect,” Trump says.

He says there are just not enough judges…

8:39 PM: Trump says Democrats wanted that caravan and says there are some that say the migrant caravan “just didn’t happen.” Trump thanks the Mexican government for its help and hopes they can stop the caravan before it even reaches Mexico.

“As you know, I’m willing to send the military to defend our southern border, if necessary,” Trump says.

Trump adds that the “crazy” Democrats figure “everybody coming in is going to vote Democrats” and refuse to fix “our horrible,” “old-fashioned,” and “loophole-ridden immigration laws.”
