The Republican presidential candidate’s son will be in Colorado Springs and Lakewood this week.

Eric Trump, who during his last visit attributed his father’s boasts about groping women to his “alpha” nature, has three stops in Colorado Springs Thursday during the day and then an evening rally at Colorado Christian University in Lakewood.

Eric Trump will tour the Mt. Carmel Center of Excellence, which offers wellness programs and transitional support for veterans and military families, before holding a roundtable discussion on veterans’ issues at Penrose Events Center and Pikes Peak Therapeutic Riding Center. Then there is a 2 p.m. “get out the vote” rally at El Paso County Trump headquarters, 205 Sutton Lane.

The Lakewood event also is a “get out the vote” rally, scheduled for 6 p.m. at Colorado Christian University. Colorado GOP Chairman Steve House, Benghazi survivor Mark Geist, author Don Bendall and Veterans for Trump Director Matt Miller also will be there.

“The Front Runner” review: Gary Hart movie is a little too much Gary Hart

Lisa Kennedy says the movie about the scandal-driven campaign implosion of the former the U.S. senator from Colorado is too focused on the star, and loses sight of what was good about the book it's based on.
