[Hoot Gibson]

Just a few minutes ago listened to Bill Flores ® TX, on O'Reilly's show. He went on and on rationalizing about how Trump needs to be more politically correct and accusing him of being racially discriminatory towards the now famed judge of the Trump University case.

O'Reilly tried to point out to him that Trump was upset with the judge for some of his decisions, not because he is of Mexican decent. After several attempts, Flores had to admit that it is extremely unlikely that Trump is a racist. And that is the whole point about all of this, the under 40 crowd along with the liberal media, the establishment of both parties, and you, are so entrenched in politically correct ruts, they cannot see over the sides any longer. Social Justice tunnel vision has them either looking back to civil rights heroes of the past, or forward to the utopian brotherhood of man ala the vision of Barack Obama.

If Newt still had a ghost of a chance at the VP slot he'd never opened his mouth IMO. Paul Ryan is equally sidetracked in courting the Trump foes in order to keep his own political fortunes alive, they'll both be voting for Trump in any case. And just as surely in any case, you can't bring yourself to admit there is any redeeming positive where Donald Trump is concerned. You'd as soon see Hillary in the White House or you wouldn't have posted negatively about him lo these hundreds of times. The very fact that this story has gotten many times as much attention as the IG report is staggering.

Bill closed shaking his head and reminding Flores such attitudes were helping only one candidate, Hillary Clinton.

Trump's problems have nothing to do with a lack of political correctness. Being rude, dishonest, and insulting is not the same as being politically incorrect. Trump is insulting the very people whose support he needs. Going after the judge presiding over a private lawsuit in such a public way just underscores the fear that many of us have that Trump would use the presidency to settle personal scores, of which there are many.

Today, Trump said that he does not need to raise a $1 billion to be competitive with Hillary. He said that he will get enough free media to make up the difference. As I have repeated many times, as have others with real political experience, Trump will not receive the friendly treatment by the mainstream media between now and the election that he relied upon during the primary campaigns. If Hillary outspends Trump by a wide margin and manages to avoid an indictment, it will be very difficult for Trump to compete.

Even if Trump's game plan of saying outrageous things to generate free publicity works for him, every Republican House and Senate candidate running this fall will be asked to rebuke or support Trump's statements. Some Republican candidates will decide to separate themselves from Trump out of desperation to hold onto their offices.

Obama's approval rating has soared to over 50 percent and IMO, his increased popularity is partly the result of Trump attracting so much negative attention. The economy is a total mess, Russia and China are kicking sand in the face of our military, and instead of tying Hillary to Obama and relentlessly attacking them, Trump is whining about his personal problems and playing defense after making comments that many people (many of them Republicans) find offensive. These distractions are wasting valuable time that Trump could be using to drive down the poll numbers of both Hillary and Obama.

Trump needs to hire a good campaign strategist and then follow his advice. Dick Morris would be my choice if I were Trump. He hates Hillary and he knows her weaknesses as well as anybody. Morris saved Bill Clinton's presidency, IMO, by keeping his approval numbers high during his impeachment.
