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.
Of course the content is suspicious when it comes from totally untrustworthy source. I would not trust Jesse for directions to the nearest outhouse.
Ted Cruz needs to do his dear friend Donald Trump a favor and provide the vetting of his candidacy that other Republicans will not do. Democrats will find a steady supply of workers who have been oppressed or short changed by Trump. Why wait until Hillary airs Trump’s dirty laundry?
Let’s see the kind of attacks waged against Trump that Democrats will be making so that he can learn to deal with them now. It is the least Cruz can do after all that The Donald has done for him. /s
So what in Jesse’s assessment of Trump would you consider to be in error?
He also has a long history of exploiting illegal immigrant labor and abusing the “temporary worker” visas to avoid having to pay American workers market wages.
Yet somehow people think he will crack down on the immigration problem.... go figure!

I like Donald Trump.
But it will be tough for Trump to respond to a $ 50 million DNC national TV ad buy featuring our abused working guy welder ...
Very tough.
On the other hand, Trump’s the only candidate who might make lemonade out of that story ...
Face it, these are DAMNED peculiar times ...

And neither is yours
Me too .. love your tag line!!!
