    You can't spell "Hillary" without "ill."

    What's that about?

    I've seen two videos of this, purportedly from different angles, but they're clearly two different videos. There's this one, and then another where the van comes from the right side of the screen and she gets in on the driver's side. So what gives?

    They were about ideas of what it means to be an American and how we as citizens should interact.

    The truth is out there.

    The van coming from the right is the reverse image. Also, it looks like the original video was cropped so that it looks like the video was taken at a closer distance or the camera was zooming in.

    It's the fucking grassy knoll's fault! It's right there, that tiny thing at the curb, near her toes.

    Both. So they limit her walking.

    Yesterday, they couldn't, and she collapsed.

    Why doesn't her campaign have a "Standing Together" golf cart?

    Meanwhile, Trump have multiple policy speeches in the last couple of weeks on topics including immigration, foreign policy and education.

    He also reached out to African-American voters repeatedly.

    His campaign is obviously hitting Clinton, but that's not all they are doing.

    No, he didn't.

    I'm sure that's it. Still looks weird, though.

    Of course he did.

    Trump's campaign relies on media as much, or more, as anything else.

    So, folks say, why is he holding a rally in Washington State, or Texas, or Mississippi. Those states aren't in play. He doesn't need to talk to those voters.

    For Trump, it doesn't much matter where he is, or who the audience is. He knows that between the national press attention, and social media, his message will get out to the people he needs to reach.

    And, the same goes for his speeches targeting African-Americans. Were there many African-Americans in attendance? No. He doesn't have a lot of African-American support right now, and it doesn't make sense to go speak to an unreceptive audience.

    But, he makes his speeches, and they reach the target audience.

    And, of course he did go to Detroit, and speak to an African-American audience.

    But, folks have determined this was all about convincing soccer moms that he isn't racist.

    I think you show your own preconceptions about Trump when you assume this.
