4 pts. after the crap storm being thrown at Trump and the RINO’s are in a panic. Good God what a bunch of losers. Trump just needs to be Trump. The public has indicated the hate the Little Jebbie type Republican candidates this cycle so why go there?
4 pts. and all this panic. If Trump suddenly shows up ahead in a future poll you ain’t seen nothing yet from the media and the liberal Democrat and Republicans, their heads will explode and they will foam at the mouth.
“their heads will explode and they will foam at the mouth.”
They’re kind of doing that now ... wouldn’t you say? :-).
August is a terrible month to campaign / spend money. I think everyone could agree on that. Nobody cares about politics around this time outside of the hardcore political junkies. Those hardcore people are a candidate’s base.
Now, keeping that in mind, we have to conclude that the media is trying to destroy Trump’s base support given the attacks this week. Look at how the events unfolded after Clinton’s horrible convention ...
Over the weekend, we meet Khan ... not Ricardo Montalban or Sherlock Holmes, but a genuine Khan thanks to self-admitted Clinton pet George Snuffaluffagous or whatever the hell that fruit’s name is. Trump makes a quip about his wife not speaking during her husband’s rant and he’s suddenly attacking every soldier, decorated or not, in United States history according to the media.
Shortly after that, we see all of these stories about Trump’s campaign being in the toilet and stories about what would happen if Trump drops out.
Then, according to the media that all the sudden seems to care about Republicans, we should ditch Trump since he’s showing signs of insanity. The President of the United States also gets on TV and denounces Trump and asks the party to reconsider their decision.
Again, all of the drama is based on a frigging quip. Half assed polls of registered voters and “adults” are released to back up the story that “Trump is done ... finished” despite raising $80M in July.
This kind of attack was going to happen this week. They were going to take anything Trump said and try and make media mega-story out of it. They got *something* and ran with it. Hillary’s convention was a disaster and they needed *anything* to shift the narrative.
Now, if anyone is worried, ask yourself two things :
1> If Clinton was clearly ahead of Trump and this whole thing was going to be a cakewalk, would the media AND the President, owner of the bully pulpit, attack Trump now, in August, when only his core support is paying attention?
2> Why would Trump’s opponents, almost insured an easy victory if their narrative was true, be calling for him to drop out now?
Given the scope of the attack, it has to be a strategy. My guess is that the Dems are spewing all of this crap to get yellowbellies to drop support for Trump and “hope” for the Republican party to “change” candidates.
Bottom line, nobody should go wobbly ... especially in August. If we see poll numbers of likely voters look like they do now at the end of September, we might have a problem. Right now, just accept the fact that the incumbent party has something of a lead right now and that we have one hell of a fight coming up this fall.
In the meantime, try and enjoy the final few weeks of summer and don’t go getting yourself all wound up over another failed Democratic Party / Media strategy. Wait until they start on Trump being a madman that wants to start shooting off nuclear weapons ... that’s going to be funny.
