We face a number problems at this point in the race:

(1) There is so much damaging information about Hillary being introduced that it all blurs together. It becomes “white noise”.

(2) The negative stories about Hillary aren’t heard on the radio news during your commute to and from work. The stories are not on the evening news or in your newspaper. Only sites like Drudge and FR carry the real news.

(3) Many of the negative Hillary stories are complex and require more than two sentences to explain. Many folks can’t listen long enough to understand.

(4) The media and the DNC are masters at dishonest spin. They curtly mock, misdirect and dismiss the truth. The average Joe doesn’t know what to believe.

(5) The complex Hillary revelations are coming too late. It takes time for these stories to sink in. But “he groped me” sinks in instantly.

I agree with your points, and they point out the need for distillation of the most damaging Wikileaks revelations into simplified bullet points/sound bites. Your point about the MSM not covering this is also crucial, and there is clearly a need to find effect ways around the media that can reach a wide audience.

At this point, one of the most effective ways to do this, IMHO, is to use a synergistic combination of political advertising, social media, and the internet. Television ads, and some newspaper ads, will be seen by the widest audiences (especially if aired during highly watched programming). These should, for the most part, be focused on Trump's plans and his commitment to fix the economy and create jobs, but some should also use bullet points to showcase Hillary's deceit and collusion - and these ads should reference a website that lists and simplifies the most important and damaging information about the Clintons.

Trump should also ask his voters to use social media to get the truth out, and emphasize that the political establishment is afraid of losing its power and having that power go back to the American people - with whom it belongs.

You’re thinking hard about the race, as have I. The white noise phenomenon is real and the Left uses it to their advantage. The nature of their plotting actually requires thinking to sort out when exposed. The public usually needs that smoking gun regardless of the fact that the damaging bullet has already left the barrel.

I think, though, that the news media is more distrusted but it’s all too easy to believe them for too many. More people are also getting their news on the Internet and they notice more and more what information is being withheld from them.
