Klarides Casts Her Lot With Trump–Vote Still in Doubt.

Befuddled House Minority Leader Themis Klarides (R-Derby) is skedaddling away from her ill-considered appearance at Donald Trumps Saturday appearance in Bridgeport. Klarides says her speech to the gathering was not an endorsement. Speakers at a presidential candidate’s rally are rarely neutral. Klarides descended into a riff to stir the mob by referring to their “hatred” of surly Governor Dannel P. Malloy, reminiscent of the Democrat’s ugly comments about Republican Linda McMahon.

Klarides remained at the rally to meet the candidate she appears to be supporting, as these photos reveal. She may have been first in line–after Trump’s private meeting with felonious Bridgeport Mayor Joseph Ganim.
