      2. Some context: Conway has reportedly been pushing Trump to tone down immigration language. That's narrative she's pushing

      5. So the Conway faction was hoping headlines from today would be Trump Moderates on Immigration, Wins Over Suburban Women.

      6. I think it's entirely possible that Trump was going to give a Conway-style speech but at last minute went with Bannon/Miller speech.

      7. This is purely hypothetical, but there was a big shift from relatively restrained Trump of Mexico to frothing xenophobe of speech.

      8. So it would make sense that Conway faction was feeding Times stories about pivot to moderation which were belied by Trump's actual speech

      9. Leaving aside Kremlinology, main takeaway is attempt of pros like Conway to professionalize Trump campaign isn't working.

      10. The big thing from today wasn't what Trump said but how he interacted with the crowd. He was feeding off their anger.

      11. In Mexico, Trump was barely awake. He was boxed in. Unhappy. In Arizona he came alive again. The anger of the crowd gave him energy.

      12. Yes, Trump is a hate-vampire. It's the spewing hate of the mob that keeps him going. https://twitter.com/doomtwerk/status/771217493536800768 …

          13. Correction. Looks like it was going to be a Bannon/Miller speech all along, so Conway wasn't out-witted on that front.

          Trip is media event that tricks the gullible. Speech reassures the dead enders. Win-win?

          @doomtwerk this is why I feel like he'd quit after 6 months in the job if he won. The crowds wouldn't be there, just the work

          Telling people to follow the law and expelling those who hate Americans is love for Americans, not hate for Mexicans.

          Wait until a Ted Cruz type gets it right with a subtler message and wins. What will you think of Executive Action then?

          A #HateVampire feeding off & controlling other ppls emotions is classic narcissistic behavior - term is narcissistic supply.

          Worst thing you can do w a sociopathic narcissist is give them this kind of platform. The #HateVampire is feeding endlessly.

          @doomtwerk he's a self proclaimed narcissist. Likely hate speech is merely a vehicle for his core disfunction
