Wonder if Trump will get a bounce from his visit to Mexico. I could see Hispanics thinking this is a good move, but some of his backers might see this as Trump selling out.
(I’m going to bed in two seconds, but I’ll throw this out there....)
While I realize that HRC is more unpopular the more she is “out there,” it seems just nuts to me that her campaign is willing to give up so much time and real estate to DJT.
The entire day today is going to be all Trump, all the time, and all we have out of her is the video over at Gateway Pundit where it looks like she needs a walker!
Nobody supporting Trump today is going to shift to Crooked Hillary.
Donald Trump is not going to lose support no matter what he does. Those that are with him today will crawl over broken glass in November to vote for him.
So for the next ten weeks, the Trump campaign will be broadening the base and going after traditional Democrat strongholds. For Crooked Hillary, she does have a lot to lose.
Trump is not going there to "sell-out". . .It's a great move. . .it looks Presidential, especially while the H-beast remains in seclusion.
It also throws a wrench in the "Trump hates Mexicans" media-meme. . .but it does start a new one, the aforementioned "Trump is selling-out" meme. . .but rest assured, that will fail as well.
Here's what everyone must understand about Trump: he is NOT a politician, he IS a master salesman. . .and that's good for America. A politician wants to be liked, first. A master salesman wants to make a sale and deals from a position of strength.
Politicians are compelled by the media to lose their negotiating edge by "dropping their pants" to please the media, i.e. "the wall won't work," "we can't ask 11 million people to leave," etc. Inevitably, these politicians, in a position of weakness, make deal after deal that are nothing more than capitulations. . .they win. .we lose.
So, Trump will deal, Trump will negotiate. . .however, he will only do so from a position of strength because all good salespeople understand that a "sale" is an exchange of assets that benefit both sides. The conservative purists, like Mark Levin, et al don't understand the difference between what Trump does and what a Kasich or Bush would do. . or as RINOs for the last 50 years have been doing: LOSING.
Trump doesn't "sell-out," but he does "sell."

It depends on if Nieto is meeting in good faith. It’s possible he already knows he’ll come out of the meeting and say “Trump is even worse than I thought. No world leader can work with him” no matter how the meeting goes.
I think Trump gets a bounce every time Hillary shows her face.
