Trump’s Man Problem
That he’s not getting the vote of blacks and Latinos is a given,
And he’s all but given up on garnering votes from women.
But it’s worthwhile to note,
While George and Mitt got their vote,
Donald Trump ain’t even firing up them working-class white men.

Jeb Bush Predicts Trump Won’t Deliver on Promises
Trump, you know, to his credit was very smart at exploiting these kind of opportunities. He’s a master at understanding how the media works – more than anybody I’ve seen in politics. Kudos to him for, you know, kind of creating the environment and then manipulating the environment to his effect. The tragedy of this though, is that there isn’t going to be a wall built. And Mexico’s not going to pay for it. And there’s not going to be a ban on Muslims. None of that is – this is all like an alternative universe that he created. The reality is, that’s not going to happen. And people are going to be deeply frustrated and the divides will grow in our country.
— Jeb Bush, telling NBC News that voters are going to “feel betrayed” by Donald Trump if he wins the election.

Rudi Giuliani Explains the ‘Black Side’
So if you want to deal with this on the black side, you’ve got to teach your children to be respectful to the police, and you’ve got to teach your children that the real danger to them is not the police. The real danger to them, 99 out of 100 times, is other black kids who are going to kill them; that’s the way they’re gonna die.
— Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, quoted by Politico.
Shot to Hell
Last night a black man shot 11 police in Dallas,
After police shot two black men in Baton Rouge and Minneapolis.
When everyone’s armed,
Anyone can be harmed,
And regardless of race, it’s open season on us all, alas.
