Get Ready for the ‘Real’ Donald Trump

Get Ready for the ‘Real’ Donald Trump
Andrew Rosenthal AUG. 24, 2016

When Republican politicians start talking about “reaching out” to minority voters, you can be sure of two things: They are scared they are going to lose badly with those voters in yet another election, and they aren’t actually going to change any of their policies.

Lately, we’ve heard talk of a shift in tone from Donald Trump’s campaign, whose new manager, Kellyanne Conway, is being credited with getting Trump to use teleprompters and drop some of his most outrageous rhetoric.

It’s a sign of how twisted politics are in 2016 that it is considered an achievement to deliver a prepared speech that does not attack the parents of a Muslim soldier killed defending his country.

We have already seen that guy.

If they manage to put a muzzle on him, he will just come off as fake and slow and Democrats are fools if they don't portray his "pivot" as a Flip-Flop.

She's no lightweight to the Bullies of Hate, on a global level.
Her speech today will forever put him on that wall along with Bannon.

which created the "silent majority" which created the tea baggers which created Alt-right which created Trump.

A monstrous creation from start to finish, fueled by racial hate.

She's about to light the fuse Trump is holding and its going to burn all the way back to Nixon.

She has been waiting many many years to bust that long line of criminal lineage.
Fierce and Fearless.
She knows them all by name. And they know she knows.

About time the RW criminal enterprise gets a high heel shoved down their throat.

Imagine our Nation without their influence.
And THIS is why they Hate her so.

He lives and dies by these polls, he's been a good boy for a week or so because no polls were coming out and his yes men were telling him the gap was closing. The recent polls of +10, +12, +13, and +7 Hillary will make him act out, count on it.

She never forgets a cruel act against her nor her loved ones and the end of Trump's campaign will be swift & stunning. He should have known better.

Trump made himself a big stupid easy target anyway.

I'd rather have HER on my side.
