KEY BLOCK----- David Brock is like a menace. I can think of no worse message for Hillary right now than she's preparing for the general. I continue to believe he's the manchurian candidate of the GOP - secretly out to tank her. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mike Allen <[email protected]> Date: Sun, Jan 24, 2016 at 9:25 AM Subject: POLITICO Playbook, presented by Boeing – DIG-OUT EDITION – EXCLUSIVE: Hillary prepares to run against Trump! DAVID BROCK ‘now thinks Hillary will face The Donald,’ and that he’ll be tough – TRUMP PLANS outreach to African Americans – B’DAY: Eric Schultz To: [email protected] 01/24/2016 09:23 AM EDT *By Mike Allen *(@mikeallen; [email protected])* and Daniel Lippman * (@dlippman;[email protected]) *Good snowy Sunday morning. *We're stuck in Boston, which is balmy compared to D.C. or NYC. Optimistic Amtrak's "Check Train Status" insisted until the final hour that our train home would run last night, but that never seemed very likely. Back today on first train that goes. *SIREN - GAME CHANGE ... READY FOR TRUMP? *Assuming Hillary wins Iowa, her top outside ally David Brock is already shifting gears and training his sights away from Bernie Sanders and onto Trump. According to a source in his orbit, Brock believes he may have been wrong when he told reporters in early December that Ted Cruz would be the GOP nominee. At the time, Politico reported that Brock was not ruling out an upset by "the demagogue" (Trump). *Brock now thinks Hillary will likely face The Donald *, and that he could give her a tough challenge. He's leaning on his super PAC, American Bridge, to step up delivery of a Trump oppo research book, contemplating strategic and tactical changes to Bridge's program, and upping the group's budget, the source said. Bridge's union allies are telling Brock that Trump could attract significant support from rank-and-file union members in key states. * ARTICLE OF THE DAY - Ross Douthat column on p. 13 of NY. Times Sunday Review, "The Way To Stop Trump": * "[Y]ou have to go after the things that people like about him. You have to flip his brand. So don't tell people that he doesn't know the difference between Kurds and the Quds Force. (They don't either!) ... Tell them about all the money he inherited from his daddy. Tell them about the bailouts that saved him from ruin. Tell them about all his cratered companies. Then find people who suffered from those fiascos - workers laid off following his bankruptcies, homeowners who bought through Trump Mortgage, people who ponied up for sham degrees from Trump University. ... *"Find the people hurt by Trump's attempts * to exploit eminent domain: The widow whose boarding house he wanted to demolish to make room for a limo parking lot ... [P]ut his alleged dealings with the Mafia on the table. ... Trump is a salesman ... And how do you flip a salesman's brand? You persuade people that he's a con artist, and they're his marks." http://nyti.ms/1Qmkz3c <http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=b75110d6b23b1b9a3e9f3cfe115ceed30f742a3a0160b0b067ded8a53b8213e6> *--PLAYBOOK FACTS OF LIFE: *Although Ross wrote this as too-late advice for the GOP also-rans, this also sounds spookily like the early, evolving Hillary playbook for a general election. *TRUMP SCRUTINY RISING: *WashPost, bottom of A1, " *Racial bias case marked Trump's early career:*Countersuit, dealmaking in civil rights lawsuit involving family's firm," by Michael Kranish and Bob O'Harrow in N.Y. http://wapo.st/1ZWblCE <http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=b75110d6b23b1b9a41f48b18713c70c9131e43a5bb74e26d58e51ce927eda11c> ...

A lot of them -- I tell you, The Wall Street Journal has been terrific. They've really changed their views. And I've gained a great respect for some of the people in The Wall Street Journal. Some of the others have really changed their views. And rightfully so. I'm not saying it from my standpoint, Howie. I'm saying, you know, look: We've done a good job. TIME magazine wrote one of the most beautiful cover stories that I've ever had." *TRUMP, *on how he will appeal to African Americans "They are going to like me better than they like Obama. The truth is Obama has done nothing for them." *KURTZ *: "Wait ... " *TRUMP*: "He's African American. He's done nothing for them." *KURTZ*: "Did you just say African Americans are going to like you better than the first African American president?" *TRUMP*: "I think that relatively speaking -- I mean, he does have a slight advantage, in all fairness -- but I think relatively speaking, when I am finished, I think they will absolutely love Donald Trump." *KURTZ:* "If you are the nominee and you are not just trying to appeal to Republican Primary voters, will you tone down your rhetoric a bit? Will you reach out to minorities more?" *TRUMP*: "Oh, absolutely." *BREAKING TOMORROW: *Glenn Thrush's "Off Message" podcast re-launches for 2016 with an Oval Office sit-down with President Obama, taped Friday. POTUS makes his most expansive comments yet about the 2016 race, with candid takes on the clash between Hillary and Bernie, their strengths and weaknesses, and the GOP fracas.
