Rick, it wasn't outreach. It was trying to reassure moderates that he is not actively courting racists.

Then there's the whole "my African - American" thing he did during the primaries. The racist component is very present every time he opens his mouth.

and perhaps an explanation Well other than tanking in the polls, but then the two are related.

Revealed: The Secret Donor Behind “Children of Israel,” the Ghost Corporation Funding GOP Super PACsIs there anybody here who thinks this is Democracy? THE 2016 ELECTIONS have seen a surge in contributions from “ghost corporations,” so-called because they are not functioning businesses or non-profits, and hence seem to exist solely to shield their owners’ identities.
Ghost corporations are a particularly dangerous and alarming new twist in campaign financing in the wake of the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision. They make a mockery of one of the central claims of that decision: that “prompt disclosure” and “transparency” would allow U.S. democracy to survive the unlimited flood of money into elections from individuals, corporations and unions.
So exposing the real donors hiding behind ghost corporations is essential. And The Intercept has now determined the identity of the donor behind this cycle’s second-most generous ghost corporation, Children of Israel LLC. He is Saul Fox, a California private equity CEO.
Children of Israel LLC contributed $150,000 in 2015 to Pursuing America’s Greatness, a Super PAC supporting Mike Huckabee’s presidential run; $400,000 in 2016 to Stand for Truth, a Super PAC supporting Ted Cruz; and $334,000 to the Republican National Committee.

Schlacky, neither link works. Both should be fixed.

GOP preps tough perjury case against Clinton The Hill This is what four to eight years of a Hillary Clinton presidency will bring to America. Every day a new inquiry from the Republicans who will spend public money to investigate.
