It's amusing to watch Trump's supporters on TV trying to defend Trump's offensive and derogatory remarks.
Seriously, can you imagine the lifestyle of one of his “surrogates”?
Generally, the surrogates of professional campaigns are given 24-72 hours notice, bullet points to go over and internalize, and possibly even some false Q/A with the campaign HQ so you can get used to what may be asked of you when the lights go on at CNN or whatever.
Drumpfs surrogates find out what they will be defending about the same time the interviewers find out what they’ll be asking about….not a good way to live.
If you look at the two latest broadsides delivered by Michelle and Liz Warren on Drumpf, it was no accident that two females were given those roles.
Drumpf’s history with women is—to put it mildly—troublesome at best.
Michelle Obama: June 3.
"They seem to view our diversity as a threat to be contained rather than as a resource to be tapped," Obama said. "They tell us to be afraid of those who are different, to be suspicious of those with whom we disagree. They act as if name-calling is an acceptable substitute for thoughtful debate. As if anger and intolerance should be our default state rather than optimism and openness that have always been the engine of our progress."

Liz Warren: June 9.
“You, Donald Trump, are a total disgrace.”
Not sure if HRC has plans to use them but Pelosi, Albright, Susan Rice, Olympia Snowe (perhaps), Condi Rice (perhaps), Susan Collins (perhaps) will be willing surrogates for HRC. Kamala Harris will be ALL OVER this!!!
And the response from the Drumpf campaign? Name calling invoking heritage and ancestry if any response at all.
See folks; this is a profession and what you’re watching is a professional destroy an amateur; much in the same way a professional butcher carves up a roast.
Sometime in mid to late 2017; you’ll read a book by H&H about the 2016 election. I’m giving you spoilers here.
You’re welcome.
