Baiting Trump’s easy; use women, babies

It is common knowledge that to be a successful politician one must be willing to kiss a lot of babies.

Those of the Democratic party persuasion should be sure that at each Donald Trump speech meeting, there is at least one woman present, close to the speaker platform, with a tired, perhaps slightly cranky, crying baby.

You can count on Trump saying, “Get her out of here, what makes her think I want a crying baby present when I’m making a speech, get them out of here.”
