(67,441 posts)3. here's the first 3 paragraphs of the article -
Donald Trumps new ad on terrorism and immigration provides an occasion to step back and make a larger point about his entire candidacy that continues to get a bit lost in the daily back-and-forth.
Its this: Trump presents himself as a great fixer. But his zeal to present himself as a master manager has led him to offer simplistic solutions that not only dumb down the very complex problems we face; they would actually work against efforts to solve them.
Trumps ad claims that in Hillary Clintons America, the system stays rigged against ordinary Americans, and by way of illustration, goes on to claim that illegal immigrants convicted of committing crimes get to stay.
