Mr. Trump Regrets
After re-arranging deck chairs with his campaign staff and seemingly heading towards an even deeper "let Trump be Trump" direction by bringing Steve Bannon of Breitbart on board, Donald Trump did a mildly unexpected thing: he publicly said that he regretted some of the things he'd said. This-coming from a candidate who never apologizes-was quite a departure for someone who was expected to double down on the Attila the Trump persona.
Here's my stray thought. There's a fingerprint here and it's not Bannon's. Trump's softening reminds me of the "kinder-gentler nation candidate" from 16 years ago. More significant, candidate Trump has started repeating a curious mantra about Hillary Clinton taking the black vote for granted. Some estimates have Trump's share of the black vote at 1%. It's a bit of a leap, but it reminds me of the Swiftboating of John Kerry in 2004 when Roger Ailes, through Fox News, took a candidate's strength and turned it into a weakness by relentlessly attacking it with marginal information.
Is it possible that the recently disgraced Roger Ailes who some sources say has been advising the campaign is really the one calling the shots for the Trump Campaign now? Kellyanne Conway's promotion to campaign manager may just be cover for Ailes's own enhanced role in the shadows where he can hide the incredibly bad optics of having a serial sexual harasser work for a candidate who suggested that women who get abortions face punishment. Consider this. Of the three, Bannon, Conway, and Ailes, only one has any experience running a campaign. Like him or not, Ailes was very effective at it.

Nice to see you posting again! Wish it could've been about a more pleasant topic, but it is what it is.
I think of it as the Reality TV Campaign - the contestant you love to hate is trying to get his redemption edit. Who's nominally in charge is irrelevant, if who's actually in charge doesn't change.
"Let Trump be Trump..." have you been following the TWWW podcasts?
