I’m on the same track as you Right-wing Librarian when the word handlers was used. If that’s the correct word one has to question where have you been chaguito during all of the many rallies? It’s quite apparent Donald is the decision maker paying for his campaign. Handles are not in the equation or same sentence with Donald. He often says I was writing this down on my way to this rally. Perhaps I misunderstood ..handlers.
Based on the rest of his speech, I retract my comment. One of my concerns has just been that he would start letting others determine what he says or how he says it.
In any case today was an unanswerable challenge to his opponents in both parties.
