Everytime the media fawns over another half-assed attempt by the Trump campaign to walk back a crazy statement, pivot to a more gentle tone, pretend that he's suddenly a friend to the working class or PoCs, or spin it like the media misconstrued his statements as bigotry, all Clinton surrogates should use the opportunity to remind the viewing public of this wise quote:

(95 posts)Guaranteed: The media meme for the next week or so will be: "Has Trump finally righted the ship" , "A New More Presidential Trump", "Trump 2.0", "Trump staying on message", "A kinder more gentle candidate Trump"...blah blah barf! Even though they'll give him a pass for continuing to say the most vile things about Hillary.
The Clinton campaign has had a relatively easy summer of just sitting back and letting Trump implode, but he's just hired two batshit crazy media masterminds who will be shaping the media narrative for the next 80+ days and the dumbass MSM will be lapping up their propaganda like its mother's milk...so although she's the odds on favorite to win in November, on principle they shouldn't let the Trump campaign and media bullsh*t go unanswered!

(12,904 posts)I have noticed lately that a lot of the people who used to tell me that both parties are the same are not saying that quite so much, or so loudly, as they used to do.
I do believe that Trump is putting the lie to that old chestnut.
May it rest in peace.
