Latino former Trump adviser: Immigration speech is plot to lose and create ‘nativist’ media empire
Latino former Trump adviser: Immigration speech is plot to lose and create ‘nativist’ media empireby David Edwards at Raw Story

“After I heard that (Trump's speech), there was no way I could continue to be part of a prop apparatus for Mr. Trump,” Monty told MSNBC on Thursday. “So, I resigned. And it’s a sad day because I am no fan of Hillary Clinton.”
As for why Trump had doubled down on inhumane immigration policies, Monty said that it was possible that Trump “listens to whoever talks to him last.”
“The other possibility is that maybe he does not want to win,” he added. “Maybe this is a media play. And I feel serious about that.”
“You can usually count on someone’s self-preservation instincts,” Monty explained. “Not only is this the right thing to do, this is the only way that he can win the White House. And that he didn’t follow it suggests to me that maybe winning is not part of the game plan. Maybe this is part of a media play where he wants to create a media empire that will focus on the millions nativists that believe that the country needs to control immigration.”

turn over any cash to him at this point. (We also know that their economic situation hasn't been the best.) At least Bernie Sanders folks could be counted on to regularly swipe their credit card in the amount of $27. Trumps base so far, are just a bunch of takers. 
Oh gosh! Wouldn't it be wonderful if Trump came out of all this with nothing but that "Make America Great" hat on his head?
