Donald will have one of his best last chances to press
the Reset Button when he speaks at the Nominating Convention.
The Convention can set the tone ,plus or minus, for the rest of this summer, and likely for the remainder of the race.
For some of Donald’s highly important speeches, as with the one before AIPAC, he will use a Teleprompter. If Donald Trump is out nominee, (Yes, I said IF) I’m fine with him using a Teleprompter for the Nomination Acceptance Speech.
Which is why corporations are withdrawing their financial support, why Ryan is stirring up delegate treachery under his so-called "conscience clause" (as if making America great again was unconscionable - which, I suppose, to Ryan, it is), why I suspect the Cleveland PD will ensure inadequate security (who is the retard who decided to go to f***ing CLEVELAND?), etc. etc.
Like, I knew conventions had become fake since 1968, I knew they were TV productions and not business meetings anymore - but I hadn't yet considered how easy-peasy it would be for the "donors", the GOPe, the media and the local government (run, of course, by the Dems) to conspire to ruin the images coming out of a Trump convention.
Yes, Trump's people can (probably) control the floor, but to put on the kind of show you are talking about, to "turn things around", requires the willing cooperation of people who are not willing and who are not going to cooperate.
I haven't really sorted out what to do, because the contrived disaster which is emerging is tightly integrated with the Hillary campaign - but perhaps Trump should cancel the Cleveland event, which CANNOT and WILL NOT work to his advantage, and come up with something else.
It's clear that THEY are not going to accept what Trump did to them, and the convention is a very public forum where THEY will control the images. Since images are all it is (as you correctly point out in your post about Trumo's acceptance speech), it's a serious danger zone.
Reset Button? Trump will do well as long as he doesn't apologize for telling the truth.
