Trump appeals to the Racists to vote for him

Last edited Wed Aug 17, 2016, 08:05 AM - Edit history (1)


Donald Trump gave a "law and order" speech in a white Milwaukee suburb tonight that can only be described by those of us who watched it as a mashup of Hitler and George Wallace. At one point during the speech he started chanting "America First!" to get the crowd in a lather chanting with him. At another point, he reassured the audience that he was simply fighting for "peaceful regime change."

But the worst part of the entire speech was how he approached the issue of "law and order" in the streets, specifically Milwaukee's streets, where riots have occurred. He blamed Democrats, said Hillary Clinton "hates" the police, and more.

He also tried to tie immigration to inner city problems, something Van Jones would have none of.

Known as a devil-may-care conservative, Bannon’s populist and nationalist sympathies reflect his longstanding disgust with both major political parties. And like Trump, Bannon enjoys needling the political establishment. The businessman boasted in his statement Wednesday that Bannon had once been called the “most dangerous political operative in America,”

Yet for longtime aides and supporters loyal to Trump, Bannon’s hiring is cause for concern. “Bannon will play to Trump’s worst sensibilities,” said a source close to the Trump campaign, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Trump’s decision to hire Bannon followed months of conversations between the pair. Bannon urged the impulsive, angry presidential nominee to ignore people who wanted him to tone it down, according to The Washington Post.

The advice resonated with Trump, who has resisted calls to “pivot” throughout his campaign. “I am who I am,” Trump said in an interview with a Wisconsin TV station Tuesday. “I don’t want to change. Everyone talks about, ‘Oh, well you’re going to pivot, you’re going to.’ I don’t want to pivot. I mean, you have to be you. If you start pivoting, you’re not being honest with people.”
