Kellyanne 'Softens' Trump--Too Little, Too Late?

Back to business, Friends,

Last week was a bad one for President Obama. Not only did he get caught in a baldfaced lie in denying linkage between delivery of $400 million in cash to Iran and the release of our latest hostages, but he opted to play golf while Donald Trump visited flood-ravaged Louisiana.

Those were some seriously bad optics.

He's scheduled a trip to Louisiana for tomorrow.

Meantime in the presidential race, there were more issues with the Clinton Foundation, while Hillary was ordered by a federal judge to answer questions in writing regarding her personal email server. She'll have 30 days to respond to the court, once she gets the questions.

Hillary and her campaign would have you believe once again that this ruling is totally political. The lawsuit that brought this ruling was just a sham by a GOP watchdog group.

But the judge behind the ruling was appointed by her husband Bill and happens to be African-American. Doesn't sound political.

One wrinkle; Hillary may not actually get the questions from the court until October 14. If that happens, she won't have to answer them until well after the election.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has stayed on message for four whole days. And his message has softened dramatically, thanks to his new campaign manager Kellyanne Conway.

Pssst. Keep this quiet. So, I don't know, but people are saying that Hillary puts ketchup
on her eggs. I'm just saying. That's just what I heard. I don't really know.

This morning, he seems to be backtracking on his heretofore Draconian immigration policy. He may not really form a federal deportation force after all.

He told a large group of Hispanic leaders, whom he summoned to a conference at Trump Tower in New York Saturday morning, that he wants their input into his immigration policy. He wants it to be "something fair."

This four-day period has actually been the Donald Trump 'pivot' we've been waiting for. The looming question is if he can maintain it for another 80 days.

That is yet to be seen, but perhaps the bigger question is this: At this point, is Trump too far gone for his pivot to make any difference?

The answer to this question is: maybe not, though presently he's just trying to avoid an embarrassing landslide defeat.

Without any doubt, The Donald is zeroed in on cornering the market for his next endeavor--TrumpBart.
