Today was Trump's big chance to turn things around and he blew it

His Hillary rant has gone nowhere and he basically exhausted all of his ammo weeks before the convention.
If this is the sort of advice he's getting
from Goebbels Manafart then he's in very bad shape.

And he lied through his china-blue white teeth!

The only positive he managed to achieve was to get the media to stop talking about how little money he had, and instead get them talking about how even the GOP thinks he sucks.

Heard that Ivanka and her hubby, along with the brothers, have taken over running the campaign.

Getting out the popcorn.

From the reports about his performance, he didn't know where the sentences ended and made some quite interesting fumbles.

Kinda pathetic that Trump is letting his know nothing son in law take over...yet not surprising given that Trump himself in a know nothing vile yam.

More free Ads for the Con Man Don. This crap is not going to stop until the Clinton Campaign stomps these people.

But showing him at his most ignorant, cruel, hateful, bigoted moments has actually been to his detriment, I think. After the novelty wore off and people actually started listening to his words, rather than solely paying attention to how he said them, he has been shown to be unfit for office. Except for that 27% base who would vote for ANYONE rather than a dem.

In any type of messaging,it is the tenor of the speech and the opening verbiage used. Yes,you and I agree,the more he opens his mouth the more stupid he looks and sounds. If you understand the sound bites and their use in getting one's attention,it is the use of the most harsh and vindictive words.
