and try to fool the low info feebs that still are up in the air about just HOW unstable, how racist, how utterly without shame Trump is.

that's their ONLY play at this point

the only one.

they don't care how it looks to rational people....they're trying to brazen it throught, EXACTLY the way they did with the Melania plagiarism fiasco.

remember how stridently, obnoxiously, aggressively they denied the story, until it became untenable in the face of the obvious evidence? then, just like a switch, they found a 'culprit' who did the deed, and refused to discuss it any more. and, of course, the media instantly complied.

contrast that with the way the Fools for Scandal have relentlessly pushed the faux foundation/email trope, bringing back the days of Whitewater and Swiftboating

just hoping that Trump has finally done himself in, in part due to Hillary finally taking the gloves off today.

and how awesome was that internet vid of all Klansters, etc., coming out in their own words, trumpeteering in the most direct manner?

they have NO response, other than to scream about how UNFAIR they're being to the little orange babykins

nothing tastier than roast pumpkin, is there?

Steele was on the same show and he was very angry. He knows that Hillary's speech is very bad for Republicans. He was really pushing back.

Former RNC chair Michael Steele criticized his replacement’s response to the Donald Trump fiasco on Meet the Press Sunday morning, telling current chair Reince Priebus that he had to forcefully condemn the celebrity plutocrat candidate or risk appearing disingenuous to voters.

“You’ve got to have that Sister Souljah moment with the party, where you have to be honest and call it what it is,” Steele said. “People are sophisticated enough to know when you’re just full of BS.”


“Everyone in the country reacted to this and you didn’t, the party didn’t, and those who want to be president didn’t — until what? This week? That’s a problem. It’s a problem of authenticity. It is a problem of legitimacy when you’re going to go speak to that community.”

when he forgets his brief, which is to push the propaganda forward

he's in an impossible position, and shows that he at least has some last reserve of shame that doesn't allow total capitulation to the trump siren song, as have so many African American apostates, like those egregiously venal pastors (and David A Clarke, Milwaukee sheriff), who've sold their souls for whatever reason.

he just can't go that final furlong, as those useful idiots have

I'll give him that much credit....at least he tells the truth every so often, before he reels himself back in, and remembers where the butter for his bread originates
