-Snip-
Arriving 30 minutes late, Trump eschewed the teleprompters hes been relying on more in recent weeks and ad-libbed his way through 50 minutes of remarks, promising to repeal job killing regulations, to protect the Second Amendment, to appoint conservative Supreme Court justices, to back away from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and other trade agreements and to build a border wall to prevent illegal immigration.
Were going to build the wall, Mexicos going to pay for the wall, Trump said in a state where Latinos account for 20 percent of the population and could make up more than 15 percent of the electorate in November.
-snip-
But despite Lewandowskis being gone for nearly two weeks, the speech reprised a number of deep cuts from the freewheeling rallies that were a staple of Trumps primary campaign, including the BING, BANG, BONG sound effects, stream of consciousness musings on the latest polls and well-worn lines about the country winning so much youll be sick of winning.
-Snip-
And it comes on the first day of the month in which Trump will announce his vice presidential pick and officially accept the Republican Partys presidential nomination a day that began with reports that more of the operatives hed hired less than two weeks ago to help professionalize and stabilize his campaign had abruptly resigned.

(5,737 posts)1. It appears at this point that Trump KNOWS there is no way he will be denied the nomination.

The man is dysfunctional, not just profoundly incompetent.
July began with reports that more of the operatives hed hired less than two weeks ago to help professionalize and stabilize his campaign had abruptly resigned. Kevin Kellems, one of the new hires tasked with overseeing surrogate operations, has left the campaign. While brief, it has been an interesting experience, he wrote in an email to campaign staffers.
Lol. Trump's amoral team SO deserve their ulcers.
