DEMS/ELECTION/GOP/OBAMA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Feuding from a distance, President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama exchanged tough words Friday [11-2-18] as they sought to rally their parties’ base voters in the final days before the midterm elections. Obama urged Democrats in Miami to turn against ‘a politics based on division’ and expressed hope that ‘we will cut through the lies, block out the noise and remember who we are called to be.’ Trump said in West Virginia he watched Obama’s speech aboard Air Force One, reminding some of his most loyal supporters of what he called Obama’s broken promises on health care, the freedom of the press and global trade…The competing campaign rallies, including Friday evening events in Georgia and Indiana, placed Trump in a virtual split-screen moment with Obama and set the stage for weekend campaign events for both party heavyweights.”
