What is the over under that Trump's Speech Will Bring Van Jones...

...to tears because it is not Trump’s usual hate filled free association ad lib?

I am betting that so long as Trump does not comparing Melania to Ted Cruz’s wife, the speech will be heralded as a success.

Those who do not learn history are bound to repeat it.

If folks do something stupid once, you don't treat them as stupid for all time. If they repeat it then that's a different story.

You are correct. What Van Jones said was stupid. Nonetheless, either he or someone else will listen to Trump's scripted speech and gush about how Presidential he sounds. Already, you see folks pushing the talking point that "Trump is going to call for unity."

Watch the media go along with that talking point about how Trump has turned a new leaf, and now Democrats somehow need to meet him halfway, even though Trump and Republicans are not going to agree to squat.

Will the media call out Trump on whether he is willing to roll back tax breaks to the rich, stop trying to sabotage the ACA, stop muzzling the EPA and filling its leadership with oil industry execs, stop imprisoning children?

So, folks need to remember how the so-called liberal media is going to once again give Trump a free pass and gush over how Presidential Trump is if he manages to read a script without wandering off and watching TV.
