22. I Think It Is More....Cover Their Ass Moment.

Fri Jul 8, 2016, 10:49 AM

Jul 2016

We know Trump's racist rhetoric is ratcheting up racial tensions and violence. Now they see this is leading beyond what their intended purpose was. Trumps was trying to garner support for his election and did not intend for this to turn into a real race war with escalating violence. The last thing Trump wants is a violent confrontation on the streets of Cleveland between protesters, skinheads and the KKK. We have already seen wacko gun nuts and wacko pastors call for armed thugs to go to Cleveland and to deal with BLM protesters as vigilantes. Now this happens in Dallas. It is enough to incite more violence for those looking for revenge and planning to take it on the streets of Cleveland. If that happens, Trump knows he will be largely to blame. Yep, Trump's strategy is blowing up in his face and now he is trying to put the genie back in the bottle.
