Trump really needs to focus

  • Those of us who are strongly opposed to Hillary's presidency should refrain from whistling past the graveyard.

    We have to face the fact that nothing he says will ever get fair treatment from the media. Never.

    And that same media will never Grill her over the rampant corruption of herself and the Clinton Foundation.

    If he is as smart as he says he is he should have a canned answer for every issue that could possibly arise.

    And the self-control to stick to it.

  • The liberal media is never going to give any republican a fair shot. That is a given. What I would like to see Trump do is when the liberal media starts asking him the questions they aren't asking of Hillary Clinton that he brings up those questions not being asked of Clinton and saying why aren't you reporting this? Instead of playing the game of always being on defense he turns it around and goes on offense.

    I saw Rand Paul do this to great effect early in his primary run. For example when he was getting abortion questions and having "extreme" positions on abortions he turned the tables and said why aren't you asking the DNC about extreme positions on abortion such as abortion on demand and abortion right up until the baby is about to be delivered.

  • Trump is way better than the rest at playing the media, but the job he's getting is way worse than Romney or McCain got.

  • I guess the good news is for 2 days Trump has stayed on message in attacking Clinton and Obama instead of other republicans and gold star families but you can't just go making things up either:

    Trump Admits He Never Saw Any Video of Money Being Unloaded from a Plane, Despite Claiming that he Did Twice

    Welcome to the general election, Donald Trump. Repeatedly this week, Trump has made reference to a "top secret" video he watched of Iranians offloading money from a plane - video which they took with "military cameras" and sent to our government to embarrass them. This led many to speculate that he was blabbing information given to him in a classified briefing because no such video exists in the public domain.

    Now, in the primary, the media would have been perfectly content to let this story go after his campaign's statement. But this is the general election, and so now they have actually stayed on Trump until they got an answer from him directly until he was forced to admit this morning that he just made some crap up during his speech.

    Welcome to the general election, Donald. If you thought the media was tough before, you haven't seen anything yet.

    Look at where that got Rand Paul.

    Actually it worked out well for Rand Paul as the MSM then was forced to ask those questions to the DNC. The MSM would not have done it if not for Rand Paul raising the issue to them....

    Rand Paul may have been a much better candidate then Trump...No I would say he surely would be...I keep reading about all the republican defections and have yet to see a ground swell of new democrat voters for Trump to replace them...we are in big trouble thanks to Trump getting the nomination...big trouble.

    Even more upsetting we had so many good republican candidates running this year and any number of them would be beating Clinton right now with her unfavorable rating...

    Is Trump already making excuses for losing such as claiming the election is rigged? (it wasn't his fault for losing..the election was rigged) I see Hannity and others already talking defeat and ready to blame anyone but Trump himself for it.

    I really can't be the only one who thinks that Hillary and the media are celebrating wayyyy too early.

    I hope you are right VT..I really do. I can't stand the thought of Hillary Clinton as president with Bill as the "first gentleman"...the same Bill that is a serial sex offender.

    I remember when Giuliani endorsed Trump over Cruz saying Cruz was like a fastball coming right over the plate the democrats would swat him out of the park...Trump though he said was someone different, someone Clinton and the dems had never seen before and they would not know how to deal with him as Trump would be coming at them in so many ways. In fact Trump has spent too much time attacking other republicans instead of Clinton and that strategy although something different has been a pitiful one. Now at this point in the campaign Giuliani is calling for an intervention meeting with Trump.

    It would be an hysterical 4 years. Hillary lying her ass off, and stumbling all over. China and Russia laughing there asses off at the old cunt in charge. Slick Willie limp dicking interns in the WH. Big fun.

  • Trump had no chance in the primary many times, he can't be underestimated.

    Once he gets a TV presence and the debates start taking place expect him to win big. We're talking landslide victory

  • The media has given up objectivity to attack Trump.

    The Trump card will come out at some point, I'm not worried. Similar to how they criticized him for never donating to vets and he let it ride for a week - then held a huge press conference reading out which charity got what and shit on the collective media.

    I mean immediately after his fundraiser he distributed several checks at his rallies too but who's to judge.

    --

    Also if Assange is telling the truth, she's done in the next email leak.

    If assange is telling the truth about the information he has, but doesn't release it before the general. He has an incredibly valuable blackmail file on president Clinton which I'm sure many foreign governments would pay big money for - if she wins (she won't)

  • Trump needs to stop the unforced errors especially with a corrupt liberal media. The big news right now should be the Obama administration paying 400 million in ransom for hostages but much of the news has been focused on Trump allegedly saying he watched a video of the money transfer for the hostages and then having to admit he never saw a video..............

    The corrupt liberal media will pounce on this every time and blow it out of proportion to the real story here of the United States paying ransom.

  • I watched a little of Trump's speech tonight and when he is on target he is very good. He was on target tonight. I don't understand though why he is running a national campaign with a skeleton crew. Clinton has a staff of over 600 while Trump has a staff of around 60. He needs to beef that up to compete.

    They won't talk about Trump when he looks good

    Clinton held a disastrous press conference full of stutters and lies - where's the media? I'd expect them to have started day 1 of 10 talking about Trump if he held a similarly terrible press conference.
