Here we go…
The latest polling shows Donald Trump receives 25% of the black vote – something that has not happened for any Republican candidate in decades.

Trump is the clear leader in the Republican party presidential race.

Of course, the establishment hates this. There are reports that GOP elites are planning to take Donald Trump down after Labor Day.

And, then there’s this…
Mitch McConnell’s campaign strategist is concerned Donald Trump’s “tone” could spread in the party.
The New York Times reported:

Some party leaders worry that the favorable response Mr. Trump has received from the Republican electorate is luring other candidates to adopt or echo his remarks. It is a pattern, they say, that could tarnish the party’s image among minority voters.

“Any candidate that allows Trump to dictate the conversation about what they’re campaigning on is going to be harmed irreparably,” said Josh Holmes, a Republican strategist and the architect of Senator Mitch McConnell’s re-election campaign last year. “And to the extent that there are mainstream candidates dragged into the musings of Trump on a day-to-day basis is really bad news for us.”

Donald Trump, running for president, drew several thousand people in Phoenix on Saturday.Donald Trump Defiantly Rallies a New ‘Silent Majority’ in a Visit to Arizona. Since he entered the race in June with a declaration that Mexican immigrants were rapists and drug traffickers, Mr. Trump has given voice to conservative activists’ unease with America’s changing demography.

McConnell and Boehner like to present themselves as being clothed in the most noble garments of altruism and duty, but are really just washed sows with an eye out to wallow in their favorite puddles of corruption.

When Trump was asked to sign a loyalty oath, to support the eventual Republican candidate, he should have replied, "I'll sign that oath when all the other candidates sign an oath to be loyal to the people who voted for them."

LOL! I’ll bet Mitch and Boehner are real concerned that the tone might spread and they get tarred and feathered.

His “Tone” should spread.
It’s about god-damned time normal Americans started taking this country back from the political class.

Instead of Reagan’s “Shining City on the Hill”, America is fast becoming a 3rd-world level hole.

Sounds like the post turtle is worried that a certain cougar might come along and eat him.

“Mitch McConnell’s campaign strategist...is an idiot.”

He managed to get enough Democrats to vote for Mitch to keep him from being primaried.

He is the very personification of the Uniparty of elitists who despise all the “little people”.

I’m concerned for the country if Donald Trump’s attitude DOESN’T spread to at least 53% (100-47)% of the population!
