Joy Reid: Joining me now is Steve Cortes a businessman and surrogate for the Trump campaign, alright Steve, buckle up out there, this is not going to be a traditional campaign; this idea of Donald Trump going back to freewheeling and freestyling and essentially embracing the angry Right. Who is that designed to add to his support base?
Steve Cortes: Well, Joy, I would concede buckle up, absolutely, buckle up because this is going to be a great ride. You know, football season is going to start, and were doing what every great football team does; were making halftime adjustments because we are going to finish extremely strongly in this race. But when you say the Far-Right, Im gonna take issue with that. And I think that Steve Bannon is a fantastic hire, but when you say the Far-Right, what he ishes anti-establishment.
Joy Reid: Hold on Steve, let me get my question back in there again, because you didnt answer my initial question. Because my question to you is who is this designed to resonate with, who is not already a Donald Trump supporter? In the primary he was running for Republican support. This was not a general election.
Steve Cortes: Right.
Joy Reid: I want to read you headlines from Breitbart.com, which youve tried to paint as sort of a take on all-comers website: Phony fascist tears: Obama cries during gun control speech, Birth control makes women unattractive and crazy, Trannies whine about hilarious Bruce Jenner Billboard, and Bill Kristol: Republican spoiler renegade Jew.

(10,122 posts)2. She doesn't take any crap
like a dog who has got you by the pant leg and won't let go (and no, I do not mean that is a condescending way - just highlighting her determination) - until she gets a direct answer to her question.
Can you imagine her asking questions during a Presidential debate? Bet that would get great ratings and some of the outtakes go viral.
She's quick & well spoken. Someone should be giving her more opportunity, though like Rachel Maddow, I expect a bunch would avoid her as an interviewer.
I like her too.

No BS passes without her catching it and responding well.
