I can't figure it out. Stump speech combined with pandering to AA's to improve his polling numbers? Shitty delivery as well.

Bravo trumpenfuhrer - you just did a Jerry Seinfeld on your audience - it's all about nothing...except for you.

(182,826 posts)They repeatedly convince themselves that Dems are why African-Americans aren't doing well. The listeners assume that all black people are poor, you know "welfare". All things can be fixed by capitalism. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
He mentioned education but went right to charter schools. This is typical of them.
I listen to way too much talk radio.

(8,003 posts)Even the audience is having trouble. They don't know when to applaud and when to boo. I think there may be someone telling them when to chant Trump! Trump! Trump!

(22,897 posts)At that point I turned down the sound-- it's bad enough looking at him without the added disgust of hearing him, too
UGH

None of this makes sense until you internalize the fact that he used this for his own grift, like alot of them do.
Kasish and Bush and Rubio really wanted the job, but I'm not sure about the rest of them. Honestly.

(21,506 posts)One of his earlier campaign managers said as much before the primaries were over. I have yet to see any reason to doubt it.
Hell he admitted it himself practically when he said he could shoot people on the street and they would still vote for him. I think that was a pretty clear look into his disbelief that no matter how hard he tried he just could not make his campaign implode.
