What would happen if Donald Trump apologized?

June 26, 2016 By William F. B. O’Reilly

It’s hard to imagine a worse few weeks for Donald Trump.

He had been riding high after clinching the Republican primary. Then the Trump University lawsuit story hit in earnest.

Trump overreacted and verbally attacked the federal judge in the case, questioning his objectivity because of his Mexican heritage. That led to near universal renouncements in the political world. Then came the Orlando shooting. Trump’s statements on it largely backfired. It looked as if he were taking advantage of a terrorist attack.

Then the wheels came off his campaign, indeed, the nation learned there wasn’t one — not a national one anyway. His campaign manager was fired and his campaign bank account was exposed to be virtually empty, while Clinton was raising cash hand over fist. We also learned that Trump’s campaign has fewer staffers than some law firms have interns.

To most observers it looked as if Trump for President was in utter free fall, and perhaps it was. But its poll numbers weren’t.

After everything that’s happened this year, after all of Trump’s insults and vulgarities to myriad people and ethnic groups, Trump, remarkably, remains in easy striking distance in the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, Virginia and North Carolina, according the Real Clear Politics polling average.

That has to have Hillary Clinton’s crackerjack political team sweating bullets. The last two weeks were their opportunity to take the kill shot, but Donald Trump just wouldn’t die. He never stops coming. He has no shame. And he’s always on message.

How do you deal with that? And just how much do voters dislike Hillary?

A few weeks ago, I went to the Trump National Golf Club in Westchester with a client and watched Trump give an awfully good speech. It was a populist gem, delivered via teleprompter, and obviously crafted by a master hand. The very next day he spoiled its afterglow by falling back into extemporaneous rants, in that case against Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren. But for a brief moment, the night before, Trump and his team showed a glimpse of what they’re capable of.

If — and it’s a huge if — Trump’s new campaign boss Paul Manafort can finally tether Trump’s tongue, the next four months could be interesting.

There’s one more thing Manafort could convince Trump to do: Apologize — offer a major national mea culpa for all the awful things he’s said over the past year. Tell Americans that his vulgarity is driven by his intense anger against the status quo and his passion to make America great again. Then move on in a disciplined way.

What would Clinton do with that?

William F. B. O’Reilly is a consultant for Republicans.

 Wow. Ok. Maybe you are racist too. Do you know any Mexican farm laborers? I actually do. They work at the farms the store buys some of our produce from. Each one of them is a kind, hardworking, person. None are rapists. You can't possibly think that because a few are criminals that ALL are?! I can aknowelgde that because the ones I know are NOT rapists doesn't mean they ALL arent. Some are bad people. But not all. Wow. This is a new low for you.

Neither do i believe that Trump is a racist. But, you have to start the War on Women baloney with Romney so i guess this is the tactic for Trump. Duh.

What Trump said -

During his campaign kickoff speech on June 16, The Celebrity Apprentice host said, “the U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best.” He added, “They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

I like Mexico. I love the Mexican people. I do business with the Mexican people, but you have people coming through the border that are from all over. And they're bad. They're really bad, you have people coming in, and I'm not just saying Mexicans, I'm talking about people that are from all over that are killers and rapists and they're coming into this country."

 

 

Now - are you going to tell me that some of the ILLEGAL immigrants from Mexico are NOT bringing drugs into this country or running from Mexico for a reason?  Get off the damn PC bandwagon and realize that all the people that enter this country illegally are not the best and brightest of Mexico, able to succeed in their own country, and all perfectly lovely people.  

He did NOT all ALL Mexican immigrants rapists and murderers.  To say that is a flat out stupid LIE.

There is a disproprortionate amount of crime being committed. We can't even vette the people who are already here. Yet, we are going to fling open our borders why? We see what is happening in Europe and now they are starting to wise up. Are we not smart enough to heed what is happening?

 Oh, you mean you versus your comments of "some of my best friends are Mexican farm laborers!"   That could be construed as racist too.  But, yeah, i was being facetious. If you can't understand that, i cant' help you.

 I never said some of my best friends were. I said I actually happened to know some and asked if you did. And if YOU can't see the difference I can't help YOU.

 I really don't buy your argument that you were being facetious. And if you were trying to be, it was a horrible misguided attempt. 

And I quoted what I said in response since you seem to have a difficult time processing it.

I never said you were any of those except one. Now you are being ridiculous. Why would you even take it to that extreme? You sound like you need a nap. Are you feeling ok? Seriously. I am not trying to be snarky. You are raving like a mad woman and I am concerned about you.

 Trump has been in the spotlight long enough to know about newsbites.

This, imho, is yet another example of his lack of filter.

The Lack of filter is what we love about him. Better an honest person with no filter, than a lying sack of baloney always testing to the waters to try to say just the right thing.
