Hey man, this week was better!

I can’t tell you how pleased I was when you said in your speeches there were things you said that you regretted.  Now, let’s talk about that commercial Hillary’s been running against you.

First, it’s caused me to respect her less.  I know it’s probably a PAC that’s running it, but she hasn’t told them to stop.  Second, I’m so extremely disappointed in the national press for not even mentioning how hypocritical it is to run something over and over while claiming that what you are running is damaging to children.  Um, Hillary should know that it’s her who is playing your mistakes enough times for all children in America to be aware of the wrong way to talk about people.  You only said them once — she’s pounding them into the kids’ minds.  Extremely bad form.

But back to you.  What you said/did is wrong and this commercial is damaging.  It’s her most effectively damaging slam at you in my opinion.  So why not make a commercial to reply and to reiterate for America that you regret some of things you’ve said.  Use it as a teaching tool for parents to show their kids. 

Stand up there and say, “This is something I want to say to parents and to the kids I know they want to teach the right thing to do.  Because I’m a parent and I’ve had to teach my kids the right thing to do when you make a mistake.  So get them here in front of the TV and use me as an example.  The democrats have been playing three things I said over and over for you in recent weeks in a political commercial that talks about children watching.  I want the children to see this too.  I’ve said some things I shouldn’t have said.  I’m sorry that I said them.  We should never make fun of anybody, we should never use bad words, and we should respect everyone when we talk about them.  We shouldn’t say anything mean because in this country we care about everybody.  Even when we’re upset — it’s the wrong thing to do and I wish I could take back the wrong things I’ve said.  But when we can’t take those things back we have to stand up and say we’re sorry.  Everybody makes mistakes and I’m sorry for the ones these people are playing for you over and over in their commercial.  I wish that you kids never saw me do and say those things.  But since you have, please know that I’m sorry.  Don’t you make mistakes like that.  Be the good kids that you are.  Thanks for listening.”

Go ahead, Mr. Trump.  Give us the apology we want our kids to see.

Thanks for listening.  I’ll be back soon.

We Need To Talk

Let me introduce myself.  I'm a Republican woman.  I have a Master's Degree like you.  I live in Florida, and yes, I'm lucky enough to be retired.  My husband is still employed and we're in our mid-sixties.  In other words, I'm part of the demographic that your team is probably worried about losing in the November election.

But most importantly to you, I believe, is that I kind of like you.  I voted for Marco in the primaries and I was surprised that you won so many votes.  But I've examined your publicity, I've read the magazines and newspapers and I watch all three Sunday morning news programs that we tape every week while we're at church.  I even watch 60 minutes and tune into both Fox news and NBC news every day.  I want to vote for you.  (That will be important to the media scouts your team probably employs.  I'm hoping they will show you this.)

I want to help you.  You need help.  You need help to win.  Things are different now.  You need my vote and you need a lot of other votes from people like me.

So I'm doing my part.  I'm writing some free advise to you that I hope, I really hope, you somehow see.  Because I want you to win.

Here's today's advise.  Let us see your kindest self.  I'm pretty sure that you are a kind person.  My other friends from New York have a characteristic that I have noticed in you.  They, too, are kind people, but every time they act kindly, they either say something self-effacing or they say something sarcastic or they make a joke of some sort.  It seems to me that culturally, they have a need to balance out their obvious kindness for fear that they will seem braggadocios.

Your comment to the mom about the fussy baby in your recent rally is a great example.  When you told the mom not to worry, you had me in the palm of your hand.  I liked you.  Let us see that.  It's okay.  Because to win votes from women, we have to know that you're going to be nice to moms and babies as your life goes on. 

So easy, right?  Just let us see your nicest self.

That's the advise for today.  I'll be back tomorrow.

Thanks for listening.
