Let's hope when the Republican Convention brings Donald Trump to party leadership as their presidential nominee he will make a pivot away from the ethnicity involved in his current campaign.

Rather than talking about the judge involved with the Trump University lawsuit, he should ask his lawyers for an independent judicial review in regard to releasing the documents. It is the kind of thing that is like closing the barn door after the horse is out. But, there are legal methods that can be brought to bear to critique to the lawsuit.

Donald Trump needs to avoid appearing as though he has bias at the very least against the diverse American ethnicities. 

Yesterday, the police did their best from what I understand was budget cuts effecting their numbers. I thought it was brilliant to cordon off a safe area for the people leaving the Trump rally. It worked for many people. The police were also safe in their numbers.

No matter how one feels about Hillary Clinton as President she is an admirable woman. It did her and my heart good when she smiled during and after her speech. Too often she is on the defense and there is little smiling with her responses. Yesterday was nice for people that like her.

Mohammad Ali surprised me. He has become thin as he aged. He is a good looking elderly man, but, I would never have guessed that was him.

The "War on the Press" is going to happen. It started in the beginning debates for the nomination. The Tea Party never liked the "Lame Stream Media." Donald Trump is carrying that understanding between his party and the media forward. This should not be a surprise. It effectively prevents any dubious dialogue of his run for the White House. He is not to be questioned, or else.

Donald Trump has given interviews and meetings to the editorial board of the major newspapers. Those media sources should know what to expect and should have reflected on the accusations from him. There is still editorials that can address runaway accusations. Facts. Journalism standards. Ethics. There are very sound principles that carry brevity.

I think Paul Ryan is scared of Donald Trump. Ryan has been caught in self-righteousness against President Obama. There may be reasons why Ryan is considering Donald Trump at a distance. I don't think he will separate the US House and himself from Donald Trump to run as a 'faux third party.' That won't work.

Donald Trump is the legitimate nomination for the presidency. The people voted for him. When looking at Donald Trump the House and Senate Republicans are looking at the people.

Mitch McConnell and I share little common values, especially when it comes to the grossly declining coal industry that rather invest in more machines than employees. How Senator McConnell has kept coal as a prominent topic in Kentucky is anyone's guess. Ah, but, that is a different issue. 

The real issue is that once the race is over Mitch McConnell does not hold grudges or seek to wound colleagues across the aisle. I think this speech from 2014 and his words for Secretary Grimms is the proof of a man willing to establish working relationships. It is more than working relationships. One day Senator McConnell will leave the political stage and he will hear others talk about him. He wants to be admired, have a place in history and recline in his retirement with enjoyment and plenty of friends. 

The speech at the beginning of this film loop is what establishment Republicans are used to. They are not used to major shifts in ideology or dialogue. I might add there is no quote in attacking spouses be they a woman or a man.
