And his flip flop on immigration was the perfect setup to today. It's almost like this is scripted. Trump sets it up for the Clinton campaign on a tee and they knock that thing 350 yards into the fairway.

And I don't mean that Trump is in the tank. I just mean that Hillary's campaign is absolutely on point and anticipating everything Trump is going to do.

When this is all over, I believe the Clinton Campaign will be studied for a long time. This has been a systematic dismantling of their opponent all the while furthering their candidate.

When the Dem Convention was happening I kept noticing that this was a perfectly orchestrated long sell. It was a four day case to be made executed perfectly. It was a long sales technique where you don't want to make the sale at the start, you want to take the buyer on a long journey so the sale is 100% solidified. Lots of subtle psychology at play. The Campaign as a whole is orchestrating the same thing in the GE, it's a long game and they are building to a crescendo. They are never reacting, everything is controlled. It's perfect and by November it's going to be a work of art, just like the Dem Convention.

affiliate can't get out of their way for supporting Trump. One minute segment on Trump and his Hillary bigot crap,maybe fifteen seconds on Hillary in Reno calling Trump out for bringing the Kluckers into his campaign. Absolutely zero about Hillary spending time with the folks who came out for here rally or stopping by one of the Greatest little Coffee Shops in Reno.

Appears the Schipps/Howard owned TV stations have their marching orders,bash Hillary and Pump Trump.

This speech has the right really rattled. The response online has been panic and lashing out. Devastating speech because of its truth.

I can only imagine how Joe Scarborough will go after her today.
