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<\/a> to woo African-American voters.<\/p>\n

On today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a> [audio link posted below.<\/i>], 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<\/a> calling for the death penalty for five African-American kids found completely innocent<\/a> of a horrible crime doesn’t seem a particularly smart way to woo the African-American vote.)<\/p>\n

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<\/a> to NC<\/a>, from NJ<\/a> to MI<\/a> — re-double their efforts to keep ‘certain’ voters from being able to cast a vote at all this November.<\/p>\n
