The dems must be seething. How dare he goes into their den and take over.
‘Zackly !
They tried to preempt his speech by ‘leaking’ a memo his staff wrote giving advice on what he should say. Democrat hacks tried to belittle this speech by saying he needed notes, and that the appearance was a publicity stunt. Very weird on their part, after all it is a campaign. Making appearances is what all politicians do. It’s not a stunt. He is making his case to attract voters and in this case voters who don’t traditionally vote Republican. They should be scared because while Trump is the GOP nominee is not at all a typical Republican. There never was a good reason for GOP candidates to ignore the Black community.
However if you think about it there is something else unique here in that there are no major leaders in the black community like there were in the days of Sharpton and Jackson. Both of those men have sidelined themselves. Maybe they are old, or maybe they could not really keep a high profile against a sitting Black president. For whatever reason the only significant leaders represent very small and radical constituencies such as the BLM. My point is this gives Trump an opening that won’t be countered. In some ways it is the perfect time, politically, for the GOP to make the case.
It was never theirs to begin with. They took what was not theirs.
