Everything the Democratic National Convention is doing this week seems to be a knee-jerk response to Donald Trump.
In the 1980s, Dry Idea anti-perspirant had a series of commercials where celebrities gave advice, always culminating with “Never let them see you sweat.” Here’s one featuring fashion designer Donna Karan: She ends with, “Feeling tense is understandable. Looking tense is unfashionable!”
Someone needs to share this advice with the Democratic National Committee, whose convention is sending a message that Donald Trump is making them sweat.
Here are a four examples.
(1) They Changed Hillary’s Tagline
In his acceptance speech at the Republican convention, Donald Trump said, ..My opponent asks her supporters to recite a three-word loyalty pledge. It reads: ‘I’m With Her.’ I choose to recite a different pledge. My pledge reads: ‘I’m with you — the American people.’
He went on to describe the ways he would be with voters. It was a really smart line that made Clinton’s tagline seem cold and entitled, out for herself. It made Trump seem like he was for the common man. “I’m with her” was used to great effect during the campaign. But all of a sudden the line conjured up negative feelings.
The Clinton campaign responded by changing her slogan. Or not changing it so much as adding to it. Now, on the backside of signs that say, “I’m with her,” there’s an additional tagline: “She’s with us.”

When I read this my first thought was...they are starting to look and sound like Jeb Bush's campaign!
No credit to Rush for that headline?
Yup.
Trump owns them and they’re trying to cash in on his popularity.
Here imitation isn’t flattery.
Only four ways? He lives in their head, drives their car, eats their food, sleeps in their bed, doesn’t replace the toilet paper, leaves the seat up, let his dogs move in, etc. Now, he’s about to change the locks on their own head and call the sheriff to evict them!
Their convention looks more like a convention of Best Value Inn housekeepers, a Comic Con and men who have burned their man card
I am tempted to say that if Hillary can make change, she is smarter than most of her and Bernie's supporters, but I will not give in to the temptation and say it.
But does he drink their milkshake?
I think he's going to beat their brains in with a bowling pin
What is wrong with Arkansans that they cursed us with these crooks?
America’s problem is an easily fooled illiterate electorate.
Donald Trump has been inside Hillary’s OODA loop for weeks and nobody knows how to fight him. Everything they do plays right into his traps. Trump’s campaign might look haphazard but it is actually masterful.
And we are all together, koo koo ke-choo!
Leaders set the agenda. Trump leads.
I’ve been saying for months:
Trump is planning to live rent free in Hillary’s head - and trash the place.
Well, that means she's probably be qualified to work the checkout line at the supermarket, right? She needs to have something lined up, in case this president thing doesn't work out.
>>But does he drink their milkshake?
Even if they left it in the fridge with their name CLEARLY marked on it. Then he puts the empty cup back in the fridge.
SHHHH... don't make this easy on her, let her keep on falling for the same old curve ball.
Trump is several light years in front of Hillary as far as strategy goes. He's playing this like he's been planning this campaign for at least 10 years or so and rehearsing everything in detail for the last five.
He blasts her with a full broadside before she even wakes up. And she (well, THEY, her whole campaign apparatus) take the bait EVERY TIME and waste the rest of the day trying to respond to what Trump said while they were still trying to figure out how to work the coffee machines in their hotel suites.
Stupid Democrats. She's just not sharp enough to keep up.
Hillary’s carefully crafted image hasn’t worked, her tried-and-true (on focus group) message hasn’t worked. And she got nothing else to go on.
Depending on her husband and president Obama to drag her over the line, is also ‘mixed blessing’. Again, she has zero accomplishment to boast of, plenty of negative stuff that media and her machine are keeping under wrap.
That is why her campaign can only react to Trump, and to outside event(s), regardless of how ridiculous that made them.
Pfffttttt, Hillary, a Change-Maker, HA!!
