Ping!
Perhaps the author needs to buy Robert Greene’s 48 Laws of power” and then rewrite his article.
So this means........
Is it better to fall victim to these rules over and over, then?
They are valid rules, they work.
Bought time. Trump’s strategies go further back to Sun Tzu, however.
these “rules radicals” are also rules for patriots - what is good for radicals is even better when they are used againt them.
they are also rules for advertising.
Tired old myth Bushies tell to feel better about themelves. All the polling data from when Perot pulled out of the race, and before he reentered shows that without Perot, Clinton would have won with a majority rather than just a plurality.
It is unlikely that Trump ever read Alinsky.
Other than that...
What Trump is exploiting is what he learned in life.
The Alinsky angle is yet another attempt to denigrate Trump, this time by tying him to Alinsky tactics, which the writer agrees he probably never read, never studied, and thus could never have truly exploited.
Bush league...
I have read two of Trumps books so far...Alinsky doesn’t have a clue who Donald Trump is or what he is about....
It’s about damn time somebody on our side used Alinsky on the libs.
Let me give a good example of what I mean.
I was at an event protesting a bunch of radicals. We were smiling and walking with our signs and I decided to kick it up a notch and use a "reverse-Alinsky tactic.
I told my cohorts to start singing, "We shall overcome." Out loud, uh, REAL LOUD.
The leader of the opposition looked like we had just thumped her with a rubber band but didn't know which direction it came from.
And she yelled, "You're not supposed to sing that song! That's our song!"
"Free country!" we yelled back.
Be inventive, people! They only have one playbook - one dedicated to Lucifer.
We have a lot more to draw from - like the Bible and 1960s protest songs.
Turmp for President. Lets get America back on track.
He makes some invalid ones too. When he says Trump doesn’t provide alternatives to his attacks, he clearly hasn’t been listening. He came out with detailed position paper on immigration. He has pointed out repeatedly, how he will use the threat of tariffs, or tariffs to reach balanced trade deals with our partners. He’s got a position paper on protecting our second amendment. He’s promised one in the near future on rebuilding our military.
Trump isn’t just attacking, he’s providing solutions. Most of his competition don’t even recognize the problem.
My enemies aren’t often as bad as I make them out to be. I dislike Alinsky mostly because he discounts rational discussion, making it essentially impossible. He polarizes people based on emotional manipulation and anger, lots of anger. I can see a lot of this in Trump.
Um....
Affable, kind hearted humanitarians don’t dedicate things to satan.
That being said, I’m glad DT is using Rules For Radicals against the enemies of America.
For years I’ve been saying someone on our side should do that.
Well, someone is finally doing it.
Instead of rejoicing some of us vilify him for it.
The radicals in both parties fight dirty.
The corruption therein goes all the way to the bone.
I hope the rest of the good guys(if there are any left)learn from this.
Trump will soon self implode. It’s all froth and bubble that he’s trying appealing to what he thinks is a shipload of fools. He has not once told us how he plans to identify, locate, detain, and ship 11-15 million illegals out of the country to some 20 different nations in what would be a torrent of federal injunctions? Better luck colonizing the moon. You can’t fool all the people all the time. This is all about Trump. The sooner this façade is seen for what it is, the better.
I am going with Ted Cruz: substance, honesty,, integrity, and courage to take on the Congressional leadership.
Trump should go back to the The Apprentice.
