Closing night in Dallas

Trump ended the Republicans' first-ever midterm convention at the American Airlines Center, telling the crowd to vote in November as if his own name were on the ballot.

Hands up, swear it

Pleased with the turnout, he asked everyone to raise a hand and swear they would show up to vote.

Or you go to hell

The warning was blunt and repeated, delivered as a favor to the crowd rather than a threat.

“You go to hell, and I don't want that to happen to you, so please, go and vote.”

A $5,000 check

He repeated Wednesday's promise of $5,000 to every American adult if Republicans hold Congress. He has not said where the money comes from or how it would reach people.

Cash for health care too

Trump vowed to cut off payments to big health insurers and hand the money to people directly, plus make his tax cuts and most-favored-nation drug pricing permanent.

“We will end all payments to big health insurance companies, and give you the money directly.”

Affordability is the real race

Trump has called affordability a Democratic hoax, yet he is promising checks. Texas polling shows cost of living topping voter concerns, with Talarico leading Paxton for Senate.
