Brilliant Move Democrats! Starve the Media Attention Away From Trump

The Democratic party was brilliant today. Notice how they have totally dominated the narrative? We have the sit in the House led by Rep. John Lewis (talk about an American hero). Then we just had Hillary's speech with a lot of talk about her campaigning with Elizabeth Warren next week.

Notice how Trump's speech is getting third billing?

Not only is the Democratic party being shown in action but they are starving the media attention away from Trump.

Awesomeness abounds!

His team is bare bones and filled with armatures. The democrats are going to outmaneuver him at every turn. This is why presidential campaigns have massive teams of strategists and people who spend 80 hours a week keeping up with communications. The dems are going to hamstring Trump every time he tries to make a major speech or launch of new attack. Unfortunately for him, Clinton's team has been doing this for years and even decades. Trump has his dumbass son who has never worked a day in his life trying to run the show. The stupidity of his campaign is almost painful to watch...almost
