He usually gives substantial policy points in his rallies, the rallies are "mixed," but the policy speeches per se don't have the rally rah-rah portions.
I thought the rally was fine. it wasn't one of my favorites, but I'm a bomb-thrower, and that isn't going to work for the general election. What made an impression on me was the difference in delivery of the endorsements, compared with the delivery of the rest. Juan Williams remarked on that, asserting that the endorsements were (in my own word) "phony." He was shot down as being one who will never have a good thing to say about Trump, so no sense in trying to please Williams.
Hillary's fake bounce is going to evaporate, and it's good that the press has some justifications to hang that on: change in tone, endorsements, and so on. CNN was remarking on the "change in tone," as was FoxNews. "This is a different Trump" "The intervention seems to have worked" and similar.
Very interesting.Thanks!
He’s playing them like a fiddle. You know why I know this?
Yesterday at the Trump Pence rally,
Trump said something for the first time. He was talking again about the press and said “You know, I know a lot of things about why the press does what they do. Maybe I should write a book about it.”
It all about the Art of the Deal. You throw stuff out there, and then you negotiate. This thing with Ryan, “I’m not quite there yet.” Was an opening to negotiate. I’m sure behind the scenes they got things straight. I’ll endorse you, but you stop the stuff behind my back to undermine our chances of winning.
I’m using his techniques in my life as well. Small example. I buy vintage guitars. But it could be a house you’re buying. You MUST, you MUST be prepared to walk away. You start with an outrageous offer, close to insulting the person. You find quickly what their bottom line is.
This, “We’re going to build a wall and Mexico is going to pay for it.” or “We’re going to build encampments (can’t think of the word), for the refugees, and Saudi
Arabia is going to pay for it.” or “Japan is going to pay 100% of the defense we provide.” etc. There will be a negotiation at some point, and at some point both sides will get something. AND IN THE END IT WILL BE TEN TIMES BETTER THAN WHAT WE’VE HAD WITH THE INCOMPETENT OBAMA AND PATHETIC JOHN KERRY.
That plane flying in with all that money is an embarrassment beyond belief, and thenyou have the president trying to tell us, that the money had to be flown in, in the dark, small bills, cash, because we have no banking relationship with IRAN.
What if the plane had been shot down? What then?
Dumb@sses beyond belief.
