The Week in Review - Trump Campaign
My Fetid Mind | July 31st, 2016 | Mariner

Posted on 07/31/2016 8:35:30 AM PDT by Mariner

Greeting everyone! It's been another successful week of campaigning for the Trump machine.

We have the entire Democrat apparatus in panic and disarray. Almost all of them unwittingly supporting Trump.

Donald Trump wanted to accomplish 4 principal objective this week:

1) Make Hillary's emails a National Security issue.

2) Make Americans confront the subjugation and enslavement of Islamic women.

3) Control the post-Convention narrative.

4) Have the extended, greater Democrat political apparatus carry his message to the greatest number of people possible...on their dime.

It looks to me like they accomplished their goals. Many would offer a glib reference to 3D Chess and Checkers. Others metaphors about taking candy from babies. But these would not adequately characterize this mismatch in communication skills and messaging.

Especially the political axiom: Stay on Message.

Trump has done so magnificently and the Democrats have failed miserably.

I agree Trump did very well this week

He is going to go in for the kill later, which is a smarter strategy

Clintoon has nothing, no support, no momentum, she has to get a lying, dishonest media to support her, without them she would have tanked months ago.

Heck she could just barely beat a 74 year old Vermont socialist who looks like he sleeps out of his car.

See #3. It appeared at first Trump blundered in the exchange with Khan, only to have the discussion turn to Islamic terror, then-—what for it!-—it will turn back to ACTS OF AMERICAN ISLAMIC TERROR BY VETS (Ft. Hood, etc).

I noticed Karl Rove and Chris Wallace had a moment on the show today, reminding the candidates that a microphone does not require the candidates to raise their voice, or screech, as the case may be.

Anyone ever noticed how softly Reagan said: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”?

Or how softly FDR spoke when he asked Congress for a declaration of war?

Or how gently Kennedy said: “Ask not what your country...”

I am sure, if Patrick Henry spoke into a microphone, he would have whispered his famous words.

Trump was legitimately sounding an alarm. He did it with passion. Hillary just screeched, because she is Hillary, and that is all Hillary can do.

For those who have made comments critical of Trump for his remark re. the muslim (shari’a?) lawyer whose son was killed by ANOTHER MUSLIM while serving in the muslim created centuries long hell hole in the Middle East, I – and many other posters – have asked one question: Why didn’t this fellow aim his comments at the fellow muslims now slaughtering other muslims, Christians and Jews all over the world – and, if you’ve been asleep or a demoncrat (but I repeat myself) – now HERE AMONG US?
Oh wait. He was at the demoncrat convention and was under orders to dump on Trump!
never mind.
(If this confuses you, search the definition of “Taqiyya”.)
And as for his pulling out his little Constitution, let me urge all you who see this to visit the site at the link below to fully grasp the contents of ANOTHER book (a BIG ONE) the Quran!

Trump has his original constitution with his name in it from the fifth grade.

“Heck she could just barely beat a 74 year old Vermont socialist who looks like he sleeps out of his car.”

And remember, she lost to Obama in 2008.

Her Senate run was also completely fabricated.

Watch Hillary tell the truth—she hates emails because of all of her investigations. This is from 2000, just about a minute long:

I think JFK Jr. was thinking about running for that Senate seat. Had been alive and done so, she would have lost.

“For those who have made comments critical of Trump for his remark re. the muslim (shari’a?) lawyer”

For me, it wasn’t what he said about the father, but what he said about the mother. The only voters he would appeal to by talking about the mother the way he did, are voters he already has. The rest of the electorate will take it as racist.

I understand what he was trying to say, but it was just plain stupid to say it; no upside, all downside!
