3. She did terrible on CNN tonight, refusing to answer a direct question

from Don Lemon. She kept harping that the panel should be discussing the substance of Trump's speech, not the optics. Right...Trump goes a year and 8 weeks without any substance and without discussing the details of all of Hillary's detailed plans, but his team wants the discussion to be all about substance the very few nights they think he has had something to say.

5. What substance? He only offered platitudes, not plans.

It was an utterly vacuous, dog whistle speech.

No substance, other than "we need more police."

Yeah, that's gonna win over black voters.

14. That is a perfect example of one of his platitudes.

He doesn't say how many more police we need, where, nor how we will pay for it.

Non-responsive to questions and off in la-la land about anything Trump.

I heartily endorse her promotion!

It's more of the same, and will only drag his campaign down more. Who can argue with that?

I want to know how he spent that 80Mill he raised. Also see who is on the payroll. I wonder if the new staff is also working for free? Some article I read the other day says anyone working for drumpf was non-paid but that Pence's staff was being paid...........saving money doncha know.....oh what deals they must all have been given to "work" for Don the Con.

I can't stand KC.........yuck.

As for Breitbart....wasn't that the place that that young woman worked that was "man armed" by Lowlifedowski and was then fired or let go? makes sense now that she got no backup from her employer on her accusation.

HOw in the world are historians going to record this cluster of a GrOPper campaign. Surely it will recommend popcorn when reading.................
