There is nothing quite like trying to con the public into voting for you for president when you have no qualifications. Even Obama had a few. What is the old saying: You can fool all of the people some of the time., you can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. Well Donald Trump is trying.
Just last night he generically "regretted" saying certain hurtful things.* What things and to whom? After he made his statements about the Khans, he was asked if he had any regrets and he said no. He was also asked after his statements about McCain whether he regretted his comments, and he said no (Though Trump eventually endorsed McCain.). Just what did he regret? What he has been saying is carefully constructed to appeal to a certain group of people, mainly in the Republican Party. So finally he appears to be making a pivot to being more reasonable, but the bar is set so low that his unreasonable statements are now endorsed as reasonable. He is really saying the same things but in a more pleasant fashion. He said that he would never lie to you which is maybe his biggest lie.
He added: "But one thing I can promise you is this: I will always tell you the truth."
Perhaps he is regretting his showing an unflattering picture of Heidi Cruz as he has said that he wouldn't have sent it if he had it to do things over, but earlier he always has said that he has no regrets on everything else.
Soon after saying this he said he was financing his own campaign. Just last July (2016), he was bragging about how he had raised $80 million for his campaign in just a few days.
My opponent on the other hand wants a 550% increase in Syrian refugees. Her plan would bring in roughly 620,000 refugees from all refugee-sending nations in her first term, on top of all other immigration. Hillary Clinton is running to be America’s Angela Merkel, and we’ve seen how much crime and how many problems that’s caused the German people.**
It is really something for the Great Liar to call Hillary Clinton a liar, this from a man who is said to make a misstatement (lie) very 5 min.***
I am unable to confirm that Hillary Clinton plans to bring in 620,000 refugees from "all refugee-sending nations in her first term." This is certainly a lie. First of all, the figure is totally unrealistic to do in four years or even eight years because of our immigration policies. It might be possible for her to bring in 65,000 Syrian refugees (the 550% increase from 10,000) in her first term, but it is most unlikely as Obama has been unable to get close to his goal of 10,000 Syrian refugees by the end of this year.
Donald Trump says that he plans to end American Nation building of other countries. Well, George W. Bush (Bush-43) said that and Obama said that . I think both were sincere when they said it, but when it comes down to it, we can't seem to resist.
And now Donald Trump is trying to con African Americans into voting for him while speaking to totally white audiences (or close thereto). Lots of luck with that, Donald.
Working people should keep in mind that Donald Trump has said that the American worker is overpaid. For example:****
"Taxes too high, wages too high," he later added. "We're not going to be able to compete against the world. I hate to say it, but we have to leave it the way it is. People have to go out, they have to work really hard and they have to get into that upper stratum. But we cannot do this if we are going to compete with the rest of the world. We just can't do it."
The one thing I am sure of the Donald Trump wants to do is build the Great Wall of Trump on our Southern border to compete with the Great Wall Of China.
But will the Great Con work and yield him the presidency?

*** http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/03/trump-fact-check-errors-exaggerations-falsehoods-213730 (We chronicled 4.6 hours of stump speeches and press conferences, from a rally in Concord, N.C., on Monday to a rally on Friday in St. Louis. The result: more than five dozen statements deemed mischaracterizations, exaggerations, or simply false – the kind of stuff that would have been stripped from one of our stories, or made the whole thing worthy of the spike. It equates to roughly one misstatement every five minutes on average.)
