Spinning away Trump's Cuba dealings. He didn't do it, and even if he did, it was too long ago!
Here are the leaked talking points sent out to Donald Trump surrogates to fight back against the bombshell story that the candidate spent money exploring business opportunities in Cuba in contravention to U.S. law.
1. These manufactured reports from a totally discredited reporter are pathetic.
Shoot the messenger. Got it!
2. The Clinton Spin Machine and their allies in the media are getting desperate, and it’s pretty sad that they have to go back 10, 20, or even 30 years to try to attack Mr. Trump.
Wait, didn’t we just hear how the story is false? So if it’s false, who cares if it was 10-30 years ago? Or are they saying, “if you don’t buy our first line of bullshit, try this one on for size”!
On the other hand, it’s nice to see they’re going to drop the whole “Bill Clinton cheated” line because it would be pretty sad to have to go back 20 years to attack Hillary. Right?
3. Can you imagine if MSNBC dedicated even five minutes to a story on how the Clintons made all their money by selling access and rewarding their special interest donors?
The combined might of the NY Times and other media couldn’t dig up a single instance of self-dealing, all of which was well covered everywhere, including MSNBC. The difference isn’t lack of effort, the difference is that in once case, the target was guilty, in the other, she wasn’t.
Who would’ve thought Republicans would nominate someone so cozy with Russia and Cuba?
