No Bottom

Obama's Policies. Is that the most often used couple of words in the American idiom in the last 8 years? Of course I've yet to see that enumerated or described beyond that phrase. It's just Obama's Policies which now suddenly as the need has arisen have segued into "Hillary's Policy's."

Donald Trump has been telling African Americans that "Hillary's Policies" are to blame for their problems. 

"No group in America has been more harmed by Hillary Clinton's policies than African-Americans No group. No group. If Hillary Clinton's goal was to inflict pain to the African-American community, she could not have done a better job. It is a disgrace."

You'd think that such a disgrace could be pinned down to specifics, but since a Secretary of State doesn't make policy at all, and particularly not as concerns bad schools, lack of economic opportunity and the long list of other disadvantages minorities are exposed to, an explanation might be in order, but of course with Trump Disciples, their minds fill in the blanks with whatever Trump suggests.. 

Of course when he cites "Democratic control" as the cause for the Katrina fiasco, he neglects to mention that the Republican president literally danced while New Orleans drowned and Brownie did his "excellent job"and that the GOP has been trying to disband FEMA ever since. Their minds fill in the memory gaps with lies.

Trump is moving forth from empty accusations of  dishonesty, crookedness and mental diseases to make her the origin of racism in America: the universal scapegoat. Apparently he retains some vestigial doubt that African Americans are going to buy that one and has offered the "what the hell, you've got nothing to lose" argument as additional bait. Is this the lowest, sleaziest and most desperate political ploy in our history?

It remains to be seen because our agonizing political fiasco has weeks and weeks to go and there's no bottom in sight.
