Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump must have a full list of completely vetted idiots to serve as his spokespeople. There must be a file, or a little black book with lists of names. Next to each name would be notes like, “No sense of decency,” or “Too dumb to be out on the streets alone.”
I can’t find any other way to explain the parade of boorishness and just plain stupidity coming out of the Trump campaign in a relentless stream of gaffes.
RawStory reports on the latest blunder by the campaign. CNN host Brianna Keilar was interviewing Trump surrogate Jack Kingston, former Republican Representative from Georgia. She asked Kingston if he thought that Trump was doing a good job of reaching out to African-American voters.
National polls show Trump getting two percent of the Black vote, yet the candidate had gone to a rally in a predominantly white section of Milwaukee. He told the crowd that he was going to win 95 percent of the Black vote in November.
Jack Kingston attempted to explain that his boss was reaching out to African Americans. He said:
“But the reality is he’s going there and he’s taking it to them. He’s giving them a proposal. He’s saying, ‘You know what? I’m interested, I went to Milwaukee, I’m here tonight, I want to talk to you.’”
Keilar had to give a head shake to that, answering:
“I have to stop you because you said he’s going there. He’s not, he’s in Diamondale, which is 93 percent white. When he was in Milwaukee the other day, it was part of Milwaukee that wasn’t dealing — I mean he, it’s almost completely white.”

Here’s where that list of stupid people must have come in handy when Trump hired Kingston. The surrogate kept a straight face, and insisted that Trump had “gone there” and had spoken directly to Black voters, even though there weren’t any in the room with him.
Then the Republican fool said this:
“Well yeah, but Brianna he went. I mean, maybe it would have been nice if he went and had a backdrop with a burning car, but the reality is—”
Yes. He said that.
The Trump campaign believes that you can appeal to Black voters by pretending that all the people in front of you at the rally are Black. They believe that if they did go to a Black neighborhood, they’d be confronted with riots and burning cars.
Clueless is about the kindest thing that can be said for this train wreck of a campaign.
