Charlie Kirk says Trump should add 'positivity' to election bid: Americans 'want their lives back'
Fox News ^ | 7/5/2020 | Victor Garcia

Posted on 07/05/2020 3:18:59 PM PDT by MagillaX

Blame the media and the coronavirus for President Trump's current campaign woes, Charlie Kirk said Saturday.

His advice for the president: Trump should use positivity to jumpstart and reenergize his reelection bid.

"I think that America right now, because of the propaganda media and the activist wing of the Democrat Party, America feels a little bit down right now,"

Adding more positive messaging would help recapture the spark of Trump's 2016 campaign, the founder of Turning Point USA added.

TRUMP GIVES OPTIMISTIC INDEPENDENCE DAY MESSAGE, SAYS US IS ‘COMING BACK’ AFTER ‘TERRIBLE PLAGUE FROM CHINA

Americans "want their lives" back and some are unfairly blaming the president for their frustration regarding the coronavirus,..

"The American people right now on Independence Day weekend, they want their lives back. And so they are a lot of voters right now are frustrated and they're wrongly placing some of that frustration, I believe, on the president of the United States," Kirk told host Jeanine Pirro. "It's just there's a lot of reasons for it."

Kirk pointed to Trump's embrace of the SpaceX-NASA ....The president should continue to do is embrace the spirit that we saw on that rocket launch, where we went to space for the first time in nearly a decade -- contrasting with the violence, the anarchy in the streets," Kirk said. "The president is the best offensive player that we have ever seen in American politics when he sets the agenda...."And so that kind of big and bold, frontier-minded spirit -- talking to America as a country of pioneers again," . "I can tell you from the thousands of people that I communicate with week to week, and the ...thousands of messages that we get every month, Americans right now -- they are yearning for that renewal of optimism and positivity."

The guys seems to have enough of it right. Getting your base out to vote is important but getting the independent vote is equally important. Swing voters are not so much issue driven and do not like the fighting and confrontation. They vote for the person who will provide the best opportunity for peace, tranquility, and prosperity. To get their vote President Trump needs to offer a vision, or agenda on how we can get to this better future. Independents will choose the person who better sells the idea they are the candidate that will provide this future.

The virus shutdown continues, based on vague stories about new “cases”. What does that word mean? We need more clarity on what “cases” means.

How many people have genuine symptoms, and how severe ?

Trump should get the real, tangible facts out, so we don’t have to rely on intentionally vague media reports that breed uncertainty and fear.

“Trump should use positivity to jumpstart and reenergize his reelection bid.”

He evidently missed Trump’s last two speeches over the weekend. Or Trump’s 2016 campaign.

Trump is claimed to be negative when he calls for MAGA. The MSM are busily trying to put America in the bullseye for racism so that anyone who stands up for America is a white supremacist. We’ll have to wait a few months to see if Americans are stupid enough to swallow that and turn their country into a third world hell hole. I tend to believe they will not.

He’s right. Let the other side be crazy. Never promote insanity. It makes you look like a Democrat to voters.

Stop spreading conspiracy theories and fake research reports. Stop intentionally spreading disease. It makes you look crazy to voters.

It means they have no more “infections”

I agree. Along with the number of jobs that are returning, I'd like to hear him mention the number of businesses that have reopened or the number of new businesses that have been created.

One of the serendipitous surprises of the Air Traffic Controller strike that happened under President Reagan was the number of people who opened their own businesses after they lost their jobs.

Trump should simply say the shutdown is over. There’s certainly enough evidence by now that it was all a political hype (except perhaps at the very beginning when nobody knew much about it). But it’s being used as a way to silence and divide and crush people now, and it’s got to stop.

And if the state governors and mayors don’t go along, sue, withhold federal money, and use any pressure available to him.

I agree with this; optimism will be a stark contrast to the left.

I’d like to know how often Gates and Obama were on the Epstein plane.

Unfortunately, Trump has become better known for tweeting personal attacks and defensively responding to Democrat trash than explaining why he is better for America than the Democrats. He can change this — because he has a lot of great MAGA issues. To get this done, he’ll need more issue men on his staff. They can craft-up powerful tweets and epic issue speeches for him.

While that was certainly inspiration and made for compelling Saturday afternoon television, it is NOT what is on the minds of Americans who worry about their children going back go school, themselves going back to work, their neighborhood restaurants and movie theaters opening back up, and their town centers and parks going unmolested by anti-American radicals.

President Trump has the right sense of what the people are most concerned about. Going back into space is not at the top of their list right now.

Obama? I thought it was only underage girls on Epstein’s island? He had boys too?

Election advice from Charlie Kuck? No.

Can you explain? I know many conservatives hate him (and Shapiro). I know Shapiro isn't a Trump fan. But generally I see both of these young men as persuasive for the younger generation, in a good way.

My thoughts exactly. Charlie is a good guy but he is reading and apparently believing the crap polls put out by Fox News and others.

He should spend a little more time watching the patriotism displayed in the time honored manner last night. All those fireworks should be giving the Dems and the Media nightmares. (Sorry for the Dem-Media redundancy.)

Anyone who thinks Trump doesn’t have a positive message didn’t watch his speech at Mount Rushmore.

Charlie Kirk is just a young kid, his accomplishments as a rising star on the right notwithstanding.

At 62, I’m not inclined to place much credence in the opinions of the young — even those supposedly on our side.

Call me a grouchy old man — but first ask whether Charlie Kirk even watched/read Trump’s great speech.
