What with all the hubbub on Thursday as Donald Trump made his case that everyone in America was going to be murdered by terrorists and immigrants, but mostly immigrants, unless Donald Trump is made our Dear Leader, you may or may not have missed the Trump campaign's effort to reach out to th' American womminfolks.
No, not Ivanka's speech. We're talking about the putative top gun of the Donald Trump campaign, who explained to MSNBC host and fellow fencepost Chris Matthews ...
how he planned to keep the Trump campaign's strategy of intensely criticizing Hillary Clinton from alienating women.
"It depends on which women you're talking about," Manafort said. "Many women in this country feel they can't afford their lives. Their husbands can't afford paying for the family bills."
No, wait, really, Chris Matthews said. You know we're on television right fucking now, right?
"You said women are concerned about their husbands' income?" Matthews pressed.
Manafort grinned. "I can speak personally to that," he replied.
"Ha ha ha, my wife is a money-grubbing shrew! But seriously, the womminfolks love Donald."
I feel I am supposed to here punditize about what this might mean; the problem is that Donald Trump's speech went on so long that the American words stockpile has been severely depleted. Trump has used all the bigly ones and blown his nose on the remainder; for the rest of us, rationing remains in effect.
So I suppose we are reduced for a while to just gaping at our television screens? This exchange appears to carbon date the time when America Was Great Again to the 1940s or 1950s, Hollywood Version Only, Sub-Period Cartoons You See Before The Feature Film.
Oh, and Manafort is regarded as the professional in the Trump ranks. Not at all like that seedy Corey Lewandowski fellow, who was shamefully reduced to pocketing fistfuls of cash from CNN for his insights into the brave new world Donald has in store for us.
