Intro speaker at Trump rally in Iowa tells crowd: “You are one good looking basket of deplorables.” (link)

[ Transcript ]  Thank you. It is so great to be back in Iowa. Spending time in your state has been one of the great joys of this campaign.

The White House will become the People’s House. We will tackle and fix the problems that have gone unsolved for years.

The Collapsing Hillary Clinton video has so many interesting aspects it’s like the Zapruder film. LOL  Oh well, this detail stuff is what CTH is known for – so lets explore.

Interesting observation by GutsNGlory.  Watch the video again, and pay specific attention to the guy circled.  [We’ll call him “Snuffy” because he has a similar profile to George Stephanopoulos].

People who are not well versed in political strategy are falling into clear traps constructed by campaign operatives who know how to use obtuse narratives to deflect, distract and deceive.

#1. Modern democrats campaign on feelings. #2. Modern democrats campaign on Hollywood story lines.  #3. Politics are downstream from pop culture. The Clinton campaign would like nothing more than to frame a wounded victim (Lassie) comeback story for Hillary Clinton.
Whereby, the Clinton campaign itself doesn’t fear Hillary’s feeble physical vulnerabilities; they can modify that issue into her favor through the use of a water-carrying media.  What the campaign fears most is an opponent (Trump) who focuses intensely on acting as if their candidate is strong, while simultaneously putting voter sunlight upon Clinton’s obvious deception, the lying and the fraud.

[ TRANSCRIPT ] Thank you. I am honored to be here today. Let me extend my special gratitude to General Ashenhurst and General Hargett, and to each and every one of you.
The National Guard of the United States has defended this nation at war, kept our citizens safe at home, and rushed into danger wherever it has threatened our people.
Our debt to you is eternal.
Yesterday was the 15^th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The National Guard was sent to assist in the aid and recovery efforts at Ground Zero in New York City.
Since 9/11, there have been 780,000 members of the National Guard deployed overseas – including those with multiple deployments. Right now, 10,000 members of the National Guard are in Iraq, Afghanistan, and many other countries across the world.

In response to candidate Hillary Clinton calling tens-of-millions of Americans “deplorable”, candidate Donald Trump releases the following campaign commercial.

(Donald Trump Statement) “Fifteen years ago, America suffered the worst terrorist attack in its history. Thousands of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and innocent American children were murdered by radical Islamic terrorists.
Today, we mourn for all the lives lost. We mourn for all the children who had to grow up without a mom or dad, and for all the parents who’ve had to struggle on without their children.
We will never forget. (more…)
