THE TRUMP SPEECH THAT WILL WIN HIM THE PRESIDENCY
PowerLine ^ | AUGUST 17, 2016 | JOHN HINDERAKER

Posted on 08/17/2016 8:51:12 PM PDT by D-fendr

If Trump keeps giving this speech, and variants on it, for the next 90 days he will win the election. He needs, above all, to maintain message discipline. Yesterday, he riffed a bit here and there, but not substantively. He stuck to his script and delivered his message powerfully. He needs to keep that up until Election Day.

I was thinking Trump should give that speech again too.

“Now she is proposing to print instant work permits for millions of illegal immigrants, taking jobs directly from low-income Americans.”

The minority communities in this country need to understand what unchecked immigration is doing to their future. There is no American dream for them and the Democrats and the Rinos are responsible .... Trump is the answer to there future.

“I was thinking Trump should give that speech again too.:

I watched the whole speech, you are right, he should replay it again and again. I noticed he’s getting better with the teleprompter as well.

Great speech...covered a lot. I think we have more to come. We need Trump to turn the ship around toward prosperity and safety. Go Trump!

This is why Kellyanne Conway was put in charge. As she said today (paraphrasing) “Absolutely no voter wants this election to be about the usual political nonsense, they want it to be about issues that matter”.

She will be travelling with him and will keep him on message as she has a reputation for “taming wild men” and is also a respected voice among women’s groups and the inside-the-beltway TV gabster-gang.

This is what you do when you want to WIN!

Yes, he is getting better with the teleprompter. I think he much prefers speaking without it...but, he has to stay with the script from this point on.

He is working so hard....I know he feels the fate of the country is on his shoulders. If he just stays with the teleprompter he will win over the undecided voters and crossovers from Clinton. What he says just makes sense....he simply wants to protect the country on every level.

More than anything, I pray you are correct. Another four years of the same evil from Obozo brought to you by Hildabeast will mean the end of US. Yes I now, it has been said before, and it is incremental, but this could be the defining moment. Pray.

I was thinking he should give it in every major urban area in each swing state.

The problem is the corrupt MSM will not give his message a chance to reach those that really need to hear it. Trump needs to find a way to get the message out in spite of those SOBs in the MSM.

Fantastic speech. I heard it live and loved it.

No bigotry or racism in this country that the democrats who think inner city blacks don’t deserve a better life than they have. As long as they vote democrat, the democrats are happy to keep them down and support the thugs and failing schools who keep them in misery.

The Democrat Party is sending African-Americans to the back of the bus...again!

“he simply wants to protect the country on every level.”

After the Orlando massacre the MSM was pushing the anti-gay angle hard; until Trump stated the obvious...”Let’s stop these people who want to kill gays from entering our country”. Once the realised that Trump could gain traction they dropped the whole Orlando issue overnight...they would rather sacrifice American lives!

You have to believe that the top brass at all the MSM HQs are saying to each other: “Ya know if we are wrong about this, we are so effed.”

They will have to start migrating over to Trump very soon or they will be on the short end of the stick, and they very well know it.

>>>"Trump needs to find a way to get the message out in spite of those SOBs in the MSM."

The linked article's section in response to your point:

Finally: the title of this post ends with an asterisk. Speeches like the one Trump gave in Wisconsin will win him the presidency, but only if voters hear them or otherwise learn about them. The Democratic Party media will do everything possible to prevent that from happening.

"So, for example, the liberal media led this morning not with stories about Trump’s speech, which would have damaged their preferred candidate, but rather with stories about his campaign staff shakeup. Trump needs to circumvent the liberal media in a manner that was not necessary when they largely cheered him on during the primary season. In that respect the debates, when voters will see Trump unfiltered by his enemies, likely will be critical.

I am thinking the MSM is going to have to stick their collective wet finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing. I believe the prevailing wind is from the right.

Kellyanne Conway was on CNN with Don Lemon and he was giving her a real hard time over the speech because “Trump made it sound like blacks are the only ones responsible for crime”. He wouldn’t even let her talk and it went on for a good 10 minutes. And guess who sat there and let it all happen...Corey Lewandowski...the man is %^&$ to me!

I’m gonna agree with the first part and not the second.

I’m old enough to have been involved in both Reagan’s elections. It was not until the second election that the media’s audience *required* them to join the bandwagon.

*IF* Trump succeeds, the media *will * follow, eventually. The timing is the question.. how soon.
