    I've been a huge critic of Trump-ism. But (fair or not) this helps him. (This is a strategic--not moral--analysis.)https://twitter.com/ron_fournier/status/708642908052824064 …

        @mattklewis @ron_fournier The best thing about Trump's candidacy is how it has revealed how many "conservatives" harbor a leftist mindset.

        @mattklewis @ron_fournier Trump is a chess player. You are playing checkers. Fall is going to be Trump vs the Black Lives Matter candidate.
