http://bluenationreview.com/trumps-new-campaign-manager-wrecks-trumps-central-message/So his own new campaign manager thinks he built a lot of his businesses on the backs of the little guy and that people suffered because of his actions. That pretty much undercuts everything he claims to stand for.
Imagine Hillary confronting Trump with this in a debate. No way to spin out of it.

(32,607 posts)Tweety lied and said she has been very successful at getting the women's vote. He failed to provide an example of that expertise and I can not think of one.
Tweety also thinks she speaks for all women. The only women she can speak for are herself, Phyllis Schafly, Lynne Cheney, Liz Cheney, Wendy Gramm and the late Barbara Olson. They started the fake women's group Independent Idiot Women's Forum.

(59,498 posts)Unfortunately for her, this is a true provable fact about Trump. Is this something we have audio or video on? If so, it could be used REALLY well against Trump and to show how shallow Conway really is.
I think this - even without Conway -- is something that HRC will use - just as Obama and Kennedy before him used far less blatant actions against Romney. The stories of small family businesses, that worked hard and provided a good living for generations that failed because Trump commissioned work and then paid far less than the contract or nothing because Trump's company declared bankruptcy. This is beyond despicable. These honest, hard working people are a contrast to Trump, who was given a fortune.
Seriously - this may be the election where people suddenly see that the "heroes" of reality tv are not necessarily good people just because they are rich.

(5,624 posts)Donald Trumps new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, spent the primary season as a cable news pundit attacking Trump for his unpresidential and vulgar language, for having built a lot of his business on the backs of the little guy, and for not releasing his tax returns. Conways previous lines of criticism are similar to charges the Clinton campaign has levied to admonish the Republican candidate.

KELLYANNE CONWAY: Before the victims of his elevated kind of talk, they were unions and they were Democrats, and they were people who were living off the system. But then it looked like it was commuters and everyday people. And I think that's actually something that could hurt Trump in South Carolina and beyond if people start to see that he's not -- he says he's for the little guy, but he's actually built a lot of his businesses on the backs of the little guy and he's a lot of little guys through eminent domain, or through not paying contractors after youve built something. The little guys have suffered. [CNN, CNN Newsroom with Carol Costello, 2/10/16]
