I know. But again, I think you're underestimating this man's ego. I'm sure he actually believes if he had ten minutes in a room with you and ltg he could get you guys to vote for him.


I'm not sure I am underestimating his ego. I think we both hear something different and I believe that's by design.

That definitely sounds like a guy who is courting minorities.


I'm not saying he's courting minorities. On some level he has to know he won't get their votes. At least whoever is running his campaign understands that. But Trump is not a candidate who can be "managed". That's why his campaign is so disjointed. And I think when he starts talking, he knows, he just knows, "well why wouldn't blacks and Hispanics vote for me? I'll do more for them than Hillary."

I wouldn't totally discount that, but I'm not the white voter he's appealing to. I can't really think of a scenario where I would vote for him.

That was a prepared speech by his campaign that was likely poll tested. They know what the numbers are.

I didn't hear it, but I never get the impression he is giving a prepared speech. If he is he needs a new writer.
