“His message should be that Hillary Clinton is a corrupt insider who represents the status quo.”

This has very much been his message. The press doesn’t care to cover anything he says of substance anymore though, in their turn to full-on Democratic partisanship. This is one reason why I wish Trump would go ahead and start on a serious ad campaign. It’s getting harder and harder to get his message out at all. Ads may not be as influential as in the past, but he needs to do whatever he can to bypass the propagandists.

“He seems thin-skinned, irrational, and chaotic.”

He does seem this way to millions—but he wounldn’t if that hadn’t been the goal of the propagandists to interpret and misrepresent anything he does no matter how innocuous within that frame. If we had a fair media, Trump would already be up double digits.

altho insightful article the writer is a low information commentator.
he says >>>
Meanwhile, Trump should proactively push populist policies that level the playing field, such as one he’s actually about to float today: eliminating special tax treatment for “carried interest” income. >>> trumps been saying this since about day 2.
also his comments about trump being thin skinned etc are memes that are media inventions. propaganda. that is how propaganda works today.

So, who the hell is she?
Never saw her before, (like I know a lot of billionaires).
But she is easy on the eyes.

Never could figure out the “thin skinned” meme.
Somebody who is thin skinned can rarely control themselves well enough to make multi million dollar deals and ultimately become a billionaire.
Trumps life time achievements and success demonstrate “Dinochrome Steel” control and determination in my opinion.

(Yes I am a Keith Laumer fan).

Not a terrible article. He does need to focus on his populist message and attacking Hillary. There are few more things he should do, but those are the big ones.

More “advice” from concerned trolls in the media. Pure BS.

Vote Trump 2016

Matt Lewis made his fame in Morton Blackwell’s Conservative Leadership Institute now known as Campaign Leadership Institute.

Morton Blackwell is, of course, the Goldwater backer who invented targeted fundraising mailers for candidates, the precursor of Robet Mercer.

CLI and Matt Lewis preached writing off Blue areas. Writing off infrequent voters. Concentrating only on winning the Hard Rs. Writing off Purple areas unless you need them to win in red areas.

CLI bought into limiting a campaign to 2 or 3 swing states and ignoring WI, MI, PA, etc. And even in those 2 or 3 swing states like OH it ignored the Reagan Democrats and focused only on the children of Taft.

The CLI strategy is why McCain and Romney lost. Of course, CLI would claim that it is why the Rs have the most Congressmen, Governors, state legislators ever.

The CLI strategy is its problem, not its Goldwater ideology.

Thanks for the summation. The real entertainment of this election cycle has been exposing the losers (and losing strategies) of Republican ruling elite.

I figured this guy was some sort of clown.
