 Trump tries to sell himself as the comeback kid

The Republican nominee offers no apology for his tax history — and promises 'when the chips are down is when I’m at my very best.'

PUEBLO, Colo. — Sinking in the polls and facing a merciless barrage of negative news stories as he begins what may be the most important week of the presidential campaign, Donald Trump tried on a new persona Monday — the underdog.

In this hardscrabble, blue-collar town, the Manhattan billionaire presented his own story as one of grit and determination, describing how he rebounded from tough times in an attempt to explain the $916 million loss he claimed in 1995, which he attributed to an economic slowdown “almost as bad as the Great Depression,” that possibly allowed him to avoid paying income taxes for almost two decades.

As Hillary Clinton hammered his checkered financial past while stumping in Ohio, Trump unapologetically defended his tax history — none of which he has been willing to disclose — and credited himself for “brilliantly” working the system.

Eric Trump dismisses polls, because "When I'm walking on the street, I feel such tremendous love, and Clinton doesn't have that."

This will upset the folks here that keep telling us he's dominating the race. On second thought no. they will just preach the current truth someone gave them to spread, never once realizing that to come back from, one must start from behind.

LOL.  In the world of Trump, logic and facts are irrelevant.  "Think enthusiastic and you'll be enthusiastic,"  "You can't lose with the stuff I use." "You are going to get tired of winning."  Etc.  Slogans are all that matter. 

He's Donald In Wonderland:   “Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
Slogans sell though. That's why he's gotten this far.

BTW: love the new avatar.

Like an infection comes back if you don't take all the antibiotics.  In that sense, absolutely.
