One Forward, Two Back

The heavens opened.  Trump gave a presidential sounding response to the tragedies of the week.  Knowing he could not be trusted live, the campaign made a video, allowing retakes and editing.  Score one for the campaign.

Then came Sunday.  After floating General Michael T. Flynn as a possible VP choice, Trump placed his as their spokesperson on one of the morning talk shows.  Hillary used Congressman Joaquin Castro.  Castro had the tougher job.  He had to respond to questions about FBI Director Comey's criticism of Clinton's email practices.  The campaign had him prepped.  He answered thoughtfully and carefully, never veering off message.  Flynn, not so much.  The campaign bungled his introduction to the American people.  He struck out on soft balls.

A man who served this country deserved better.

  1. Flynn's reversal from pro choice to pro life in 24 hours reflects the poor prep by the Trump campaign.
