Remember Mitt Romney caught on tape and the "47%" remark? I did not think it was that terrible, but the press turned it into a huge deal. By the time the election rolled around, Mitt Romney lost because over 80% of Americans thought Mitt Romney was a cold hearted SOB who did not care for them.
The press has largely held its fire on Donald Trump. But the closer he gets to the nomination, the more we will hear about this.
"Eighteen years ago, Wojciech Kozak helped build Trump Tower, the skyscraper jewel in Donald J. Trump's real-estate empire. Today, Mr. Kozak recalls that time with nightmare memories of backbreaking 12-hour shifts and of being cheated with 200 other undocumented Polish immigrants out of meager wages and fringe benefits.
"We worked in horrid, terrible conditions," Mr. Kozak said of the six months he spent in 1980 wielding a sledgehammer and a blowtorch in demolishing the Bonwit Teller Building on Fifth Avenue to make way for Trump Tower. "We were frightened illegal immigrants and did not know enough about our rights."
This will be Trump's 47% remark. There will be television interviews, 60 Minutes stories, and commercials with the workers who say they were victims of Donald Trump's cold heart.
Low information voters are going to get an earful of these stories. Just wait.
Have you personally met Trump??
NO? Then you go by those who have;
Donald Trump - Jesse James (West Coast Choppers Official)

I’ll believe Jesse over you any day of the week.
We appreciate your concern Joy, really.
I am VERY SURE Trump has MANY, MANY, employees willing to do testimonials about how wonderful he is as a boss, this reminds me of the marching out of Gloria Aldred with the MANY women NEVER heard from again and Cain just stepping down WE NEVER fight back!!!! TRUMP WILL
fight back!!!!
I like that Trump doesn’t apologize for being rich like Romney did. The opportunity to become wealthy is one of the great things about this country.
“Mitt Romney lost because over 80% of Americans thought Mitt Romney was a cold hearted SOB”
Dream on Erickson. 80% of Americans knew what Romney was.
A Mormon establishment RINO. Then of course there were the
voters who didn’t vote because they thought he would be a
Shoo-in. I like Erickson but he’s off on this.
It is a hoax. Glen Beck even apologized for being duped by it.
Herman Cain decided not to fight back. I know for a fact that Donald Trump will.
“A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.”
It’s an old story that didn’t get traction when it came out and won’t suddently erupt. OTOH, Cruz’s NBC status has always been an issue and is now blowing up.
Flip side: Trump has a reputation of being “working class” insofar as he really does work for his money, and (exploiting or not) has contact with workers. Hillary & Bernie (and many of the Republican candidates), however, are ivory tower / granite hallway types who have never “worked” a day in their lives, who claim to fight for the “working class” yet apparently loathe sharing airspace with them.
If the Left starts “examining” Trump’s interaction with the working class, you can be sure he’ll bring out 100x such people praising him for ACTUALLY giving them jobs.
I’m sure Trump and Jesse James share a lot of values. They may even share hookers.
Jesse James has kids with a porn star. Why would any decent person care what he thinks?
Do you happen to know if it was known in Texas that cruz was born in Canada and still held his Canadian citizenship when he ran for the Senate?
This is funny...it has been Trump 24/7 since June 16, 2015, and HE has controlled the narrative...not them. This will not change.
Aw Jeez, not Erick Erickson again.
Proof to back up your claim?
Give you documented habit of being less then accurate or honest in your posting, your claims will need to be sourced by 3 credible sources before they can be taken seriously.
Find it odd the when campaign season rolls around, “Conservative Christans” suddenly think lying is no longer a sin.
Yes, it is a hoax.
I guess you missed all the hoopla about it this weekend.
Can’t attack Jesse’s message so you attack him personally. And Trump with your perverted “share hookers” comment.
Classic ad hominem fallacy. It says way more about you than either Jesse or Trump.
You know this is untrue, and has been refuted, even by the Florida Workforce Commission. It was posted to you before, and yet, you still post the lie.
