What, you think you have something to lose? You have nothing!

Eugene Robinson@The Washington Post (8/22/16): “Donald Trump’s ‘pivot,’ desperately hoped for by sane Republicans, was over before it began. He couldn’t pretend to be inclusive and statesmanlike for two days in a row if his life depended on it. Anyone who doubts this should only consider Trump’s idea of an appeal to African American voters: ‘What do you have to lose by trying something new like Trump? What do you have to lose? You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose?’ That’s right, black Americans. The Republican candidate for president says you live Hobbesian lives of misery and despair, with no options, no prospects, no joy, no hope. Oh, and he wants your vote.”
