DEMOCRATS’ RESPONSE TO EXTERNAL STIMULI

I must say, reading how Hillary’s lieutenants brushed off the warnings of ex-Sanders staff about the importance of campaigning in the Rust Belt —

TRUMP ALREADY EXPLOITING TODAY’S TRAGEDIES

Reading from Steve Bannon’s script, Trump employs the most inflammatory rhetoric he can, deliberately designed to render the US population to a state of frothing hysteria. Softening them up for the new wars that Trump will launch.

Trump is an evil man, and so is Bannon.
