CANDID POLITI NEVER ABOUT NUANCE.
IT’S A ZERO SUM GAME WHEN YOU
ARE CAMPAIGNING.
ARE CAMPAIGNING. IT’S U THEM.
BUT WHEN YOU BECOME AN ELECTED
OFFICI AND BECOME PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES, THE
CAMPAI SUPPOSED TO STOP
FOR A WHILE AND YOU GO INTO THE
MODE OF UNIFYING
THIS I PRESIDENT WHO’S NEVER
BEEN INTERESTED IN UNIFYING.
HE HAS BEEN INTERESTED IN
KEEPIN ENGAGED AND
ENRAGE AND HE’S DONE AN AMAZING
BUT AT ANY MOMENT HE BELIEVES
THAT IT’S STILL THE MIDDLE OF
THE CAMPAIGN.
THE CAMPAIGN. THE OTHER THING I WANT TO BRING
UP JUST WITH ALL OF THIS IS, YOU
KNOW,LOOK, OUR COUNTRY HAS A
LONG HISTORY OF DIVISION.
WHO IS AN AMERICAN?
WHO’S NOT?
WHO’S NOT? IT TO ME THE TIME WE’RE IN
RIGHT NOW WHAT I FEEL LIKE IS NO
ONE IS TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY
FOR AN OF THIS.
NOT THE GUN LAW -- IT’S NOT OUR
FAULT.
FAULT. GUNS DON’T KILL.
PEOPLE KILL.
PEOPLE KILL. RIGHT?
RIGHT? IT’S NOT OUR FAULT.
WHO POSTS ON SPOESHLOC MEDIA.
BLAME SOMEONE ELSE.
IT’S NOT US, POLITICAL LEADERS.
PEOPLE ARE DOING THESE THINGS
WITHOU -- THEY JUST HAVE
HISTOR MENTAL INSTABILITY.
IT’S NO THE ABOUT WHAT WE’RE
SAYING THEM.
SAYING THEM. NO ONE AT ALL IS RAISING THEIR
HAND TO SAY, YOU NO HE WHAT?
WE PLAYED ROLE IN THIS AND WE
HAVE TO BE ABLE TO FIX IT.
IT’S ALWAYS SOMEBODY ELSE’S
FAULT. THAT IS THE WORLD WE LIVE
IN IT WILL NEVER GET BETTER. TH
THIS?
THIS? I SAY THERE IS ONLY ONE
PRESID
PRESID DO THEY ACCEPT THIS?
>> THEY DON’T.
THE RESPONSE WITHIN THE WHITE A
OFFICI IS, LOOK, EVERYONE
BEARS RESPONSIBILITY.
BEARS RESPONSIBILITY. AND WHEN YOU PUT THAT QUESTION
TO SQUARELY,LOOK, HE IS
THE PRESIDENT.
THE PRESIDENT. HE HAS THE LOUDEST MICROPHONE.
DOESN’ HE BEAR THE LARGE EFFORT
RESPON
RESPON THEY SAY, LOOK, HE HAS CHANGEDED
SOME O HIS RHETORIC.
HE HAS STRUCK A UNIFYING NOTE.
ON FRIDAY HE WAS ASKED IF HE’S
GOING TO TONE DOWN THE RHETORIC,
HESAID, NO.
HESAID, NO. HE THINKS HE CAN ACTUALLY TONE
IT UP.
IT UP. NOW THAT WAS PRIOR TO
YESTER TRAGIC SHOOTING.
BUT I THINK AMY REALLY HITS THE
NAIL ON THE HEAD WHICH IS THAT
WHITE OFFICIALS SAY THIS.
YES, HE FEELS LIKE HE NEEDS TO
HAVE UNIFYING NOTES AT THE SAME
THE MID TERMS AND SO HE KNOWS
WHAT HE NEEDS TO SAY TO FIRE UP
HIS BASE AND A LOT OF THAT
RHETOR IS DIVISIVE.
>> DAVID FRENCH SAID DON’T CALL

CESAR SAYOC. HE’S A ANGRY OBSESSIVE AND THAT
MATTER
MATTER NOT AL LISTENING EARS ARE SOBER
MINDIN
MINDIN THUNDER AGAINST TH
OPPONENTS WITH EXT
AND SOMETIMES THEY TAKE EXTREME
ACTION IN RESPONSE.

THIS.

PRESID
