Donald Trump’s newly celebrated ‘pivot’ to becoming a ‘maturity’ as a Presidential candidate, as declared by some Republicans and some in the corporate media, may be far less of a ‘pivot’ than he and his surrogates are pretending, especially in his new attempts to woo African-American voters.
On today’s BradCast [audio link posted below.], we take a look at some of the claims of Trump’s surrogates, and how they stack up against reality. (Hint: Taking out a newspaper ad calling for the death penalty for five African-American kids found completely innocent of a horrible crime doesn’t seem a particularly smart way to woo the African-American vote.)
Similarly, if the GOP wants to reach out to minority voters, they have a very peculiar way of showing it, as Republican Party officials, operatives and Governors — from CA to NC, from NJ to MI — re-double their efforts to keep ‘certain’ voters from being able to cast a vote at all this November.

“What do you have to lose?”
Consider the ramifications of a President Trump’s access to nuclear weapons.
