Trump’s New Hampshire Rally Shows Why His Opponents Are So Desperate
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends)

You may have been wondering why your support for Donald Trump has suddenly resulted in your being labeled a “white supremacist.” Doesn’t matter of whether you happen to actually be white, or whether you are latino, black, male, female or one of the other mythical genders now being invented by the political left, if you support the sitting President of the United States of America, that means you will be labeled a “white supremacist” by the Democrats and our fake news media.

Don’t laugh at the notion that President Trump actually has Latino and Black supporters: A just-released Zogby poll shows the President’s support among those two demographics rising substantially in response to the ongoing “white supremacist” campaign. According to Zogby, 28% of registered Black voters and fully 49% of registered Latinos approve of Trump’s job performance.

Which of course is one more reason why the Democrats and their media toadies are frantically attempting to marginalize you as being some sort of inhuman monster. If the President were to win just 30% of Latino votes (he won 28% in 2016) and maybe 12% of the Black vote (he got 6% in 2016) next year, he will be re-elected in a massive landslide, and sweep in new, larger majorities in both houses of congress with him.

The Democrats cannot countenance that, so they believe they can counteract that growing public approval rating by labeling the President as a hater of Latinos and Blacks. But because ordinary Americans are not nearly as stupid as Democrats invariably assume them to be, this transparently cynical strategy is backfiring.

If you can remember all the way back to last week, Democrat members of congress and presidential candidates like Joaquin Castro (a guy who doxxes his own supporters), the pathetic Irish Bob O’Rourke, and Spartacus Booker rushed to argue that because Trump was a racist bigot who literally caused the mass shootings in Dayton and El Paso, why, that means he simply must cancel all future rallies like the one we saw Thursday night in New Hampshire.

Why do you suppose they would make such an outlandishly laughable leap of logic? Because they know just how effective those rallies happen to be, and understand how critical they are to the President’s chances of being re-elected. Other than his Twitter feed, those rallies are the only means President Trump has of cutting through the fake news media fog and talking directly to the American people.

But, you might be thinking, how does that work, since the only media outlet that televises the rallies is Fox News? New York Times best-selling author Larry Schweikart answered that question in his book – co-authored with Joel Pollak – “How Trump Won”:

Larry Schweikart @LarrySchweikart As @joelpollak and I wrote in "How Trump Won," the main value of the rallies was NOT Trump speaking to those in attendance but the local news coverage into large regions that allowed Trump to get his message out in short bursts without national anti-Trump "panels" commenting.

87 12:22 PM - Aug 16, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 28 people are talking about this [I’m not active on Twitter anymore, but if you are and you aren’t following @LarrySchweikart and @joelpollak, you are missing out.]

Note what Larry says in that tweet: “the main value of the rallies was NOT Trump speaking to those in attendance but the local news coverage into large regions that allowed Trump to get his message out in short bursts without national anti-Trump ‘panels’ commenting.” Bingo.

The President doesn’t really care that CNN and MSNBC don’t televise his rallies, in part because their audiences are rapidly shrinking since their “muh Russia collusion” narrative crashed up on the shoals of the Mueller Report, and in part because anyone watching those two fake news networks is already completely brainwashed anyway.

What Trump cares about is that he spoke to 12,000 New Hampshire voters Thursday night, and anyone who draws a crowd of 12,000 in New Hampshire is going to get gobs of coverage on every local newscast in the state. That coverage is going to largely consist of out-takes of key messages from his speech. That is an incredibly valuable means of influencing hundreds of thousands more potential voters.

Note also that, while Schweikart and Pollak say the local coverage is the “main value” of the rallies, they do not say that the attendance at the rallies is not important as well. Quite the contrary: The President spoke to more individual voters in that arena last night than any of the Democrat candidates have spoken to through the course of their entire campaigns at this point.

Even more valuable, every one of those 12,000 potential voters left that arena pumped up and ready to go try to convince their friends and family to vote for Trump. They’ll all be talking for weeks and months about the excitement he generated in that arena.

So, you wonder why you are suddenly being labeled a “white supremacist,” an inhuman monster who must be shunned and punished? It’s because if you are just a regular patriotic American who loves your country and wants it to be great again, then the Democrats have literally no hope of defeating you and President Trump in 2020.

It really is that simple.

That is all.

But it's super-secret and vague and subject to dubious interpretation.

Because THAT'S how you get a message out, yep.

How many people have noticed a shift in emphasis of message from restoring the American republic to one of simply re-electing Trump? Exactly what does Trump represent if the rule of law, due process and equal treatment are moot? What does it matter who is elected if major constitutional provisions are now effectively dead letters?

And for the grand query, what does it mean to the average patriot when they see the flag, serviceman or a fly-by? Who and what exactly is the military of the USA protecting? The average citizen, the 'American way of life', peace, freedom & liberty? Or, protecting the status quo from any fear of push-back, domestic disturbance and/or revolution?

I would suggest that when you finally "get it", then you will recognize that you just happen to be living during a time when an empire is collapsing. Yes, I know many cannot get over the shock that it's actually happening here, but in actuality, it happens all the time. Granted, over periods of millenia, but nothing lasts forever.

However, when you reach the point of viewing fed.gov as no different than GB in 1775, that "our" troops are actually the red coats, and that Trump is merely one of the last colonial governors, then you'll finally have the luxury of seeing seeing everything crystal clear.

The internal poling on the Dem side must be devastating, for the Dems.

Thanks for posting, semantic. All great questions. I’ve said many times on FR that we are fortunate to have lived during “peak civilization”. There is no guarantee when the Constitution, Bill of Rights and rule of law are ignored. This unique experiment is about as good as anyone has ever had it. The world has been a slaughterhouse throughout history.

I had a thought ... since the left is pushing the ‘anyone supporting Trump is a white supremacist’ meme, at the next Trump rally have some black guys wear tee-shirts that say “The left says I am white supremacist.”

Yup—those dead white male slaveholders did their best to fashion a system of checks and balances that could preserve liberty for a long time—and we are the beneficiaries.

The removal of their statues is a foreshadowing of a very dark future ahead.

Preparation of the battlefield. What about when they tie a chain around Lincoln and pull him out of his memorial, or blow the faces off Mt. Rushmore?

Now just imagine if he held a few in California. He would disillusion the Democrats, rally the Republicans there, and be worth 10 rallies in Trump-friendly states.

At the very least, Trump could hold rallies in San Diego, Palm Springs, Bakersfield, Fresno, Lake atahoe, Redding....

“I can think of another way.”

Assuming you are talking about the “Q” breadcrumbs, the stigma of a secret organization would only hurt the President. Fortunately, the number of “Q” followers is small enough to render them harmless.

But if you “Q” peddlers truly wanted to help the President, you would spare him the stigma of being associated with secret organizations.

For normal voters, it’s nothing but a huge turn-off to be confronted with the possibility that your candidate is being groomed and handled by some behind-the-scenes power brokers, and not his own man.

Luckily hardly anyone takes these claims seriously.
