The polls are garbage - they regularly oversample groups that they know favor Hillary, like Dems, women and youths to boost her numbers - one poll was even asking to speak with “the youngest member of the household” to answer their questions - and they rationalize oversampling Democrats by arguing that because Hillary theoretically had a good week, more people are now calling themselves Democrats, therefore we got more Democrats in our sample, and since we got more Democrats in our sample, Democrats must be dong better, so we can include more Democrats in our sample - it’s pure cr*p - people don’t change their party affiliation that readily, but it allows pollsters to keep up the big lie....

Note On Essential Tactics

I do not want to come across as arrogant; but based on 60+ years of fighting for traditional American values, including hours of using live TV to advantage, I want to share some experience driven suggestions, both for our candidate, and all of us who will be actively promoting a Trump victory in just 20 days.

While speaking in anger can sometimes help rally those who share your beliefs and priorities, it is not the most effective way to convert those who dissent from our purpose. When there is a real problem to be addressed, it is almost always better to speak in sorrow than in anger.

In the present ideological conflict, there is great reason for sorrow. We need to interject, in every possible exchange, those contemporary phenomena that are not only unfortunate from our stand point; but which are likely to be understood as sad by anyone listening to us.

Putting this understanding to work in a situation such as tonight's Presidential debate; Trump needs to intertwine his response to essential policy issues, by sadly lamenting the background social climate, which certainly impacts all aspects of contemporary American life, including the problem reflected in the issue. For example:

The decline in pride in heritage, openly encouraged by Obama's repeated apologies to others for America's traditions & achievement--leading to Americans kneeling through the Star Spangled Banner;--his & Mrs. Clinton's siding with Soros financed thugs against the Police--leading to the cold blooded assassination of American cops;--their refusal to protect the border, leading to job losses among rooted Americans, brutal crimes against American women, and the despicable riots in California, where aliens who do not share our values, or honor our heritage, intimidate local officials into not celebrating the achievements of the Founding Fathers and their posterity.

It was only last week, when anti-American culturalists advocated not celebrating Columbus Day! The Obama/Clinton cabal seem intent on denying that our values & achievements, under uniquely American cultural values, grew directly out of the experience driven values of particular European settlers. That is fact. It takes nothing away from the achievements or values of any other people; but it is our fact, and we are entitled to honor that fact and the rich cultural heritage it reflects.

To the extent that the Obama/Clinton cabal would deny us pride in our history, they are truly bigoted enemies. But we do best, again, when we lament the success of our enemies, as we explain, again quietly and sadly, how totally despicable is this ongoing attack, coming indeed from those who have benefited so much, while gaming our system.

Some may think that this approach is going soft. It is precisely the opposite. In place of venting our wrath at the Obama/Clinton betrayal, we begin to instill wrath in some of those who otherwise would simply go along with the enemy, "to get along."

There is nothing the least bit new in these tactics. Anyone familiar with Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar," is quite familiar with the technique. It worked in the play because it reflects a true understanding of the psychological factors involved.

He’s going to win.

Else WHY would they act so desperate..?

It’s similar to the globull warming people screaming ever more loudly, “There’s not even ANY disagreement about it, anymore..!”

Why the shrill tone, eh..?

If America doesn’t win, Trump will find himself audited like hell, she’ll come after all talk show hosts and FR will eventually be a memory.

Basically it’s Do or Die.

Didn’t Romney think the same thing?

I remember Romney going to some place in Pennsylvania like the day before the election and a mid-size crowd of people greeted him from a parking deck and he said that was the moment he really believed he was going to win it.

So basically he never actually believed it while he was running.

If his own traitorous party would support him he would definitely win in a Reaganesque landslide in spite of the usual rampant fraud cheating etc. RyaNOs predictably trying their best to steal defeat from the jaws of victory

He could have had not stopped campaigning!

I think the fix was in with McCain and him and it was planned for Jeb Bush to take a dive also.

His election night venue sure was set up like a coronation. They even went ahead and published a President Romney transition webpage.

I’m pretty sure everyone thinks she’s going to cheat. It’s in her nature, as repeatedly demonstrated throughout her campaign. Our hope is that there is enough angry voters out there to overcome the cheating.

If what I’m hearing is accurate, he’s doing exactly that.
