How Trump Should Approach
the Final Debate

Original Article

Posted By: Mauigirl, 10/21/2020 4:47:24 PM

The so-called mainstream polls of the swing states show the race narrowing. If the trend continues at the current rate, President Trump could poll even in two weeks—in addition to the “other” polls that show him near there already. So Trump’s mission at the final debate on Thursday is to continue to accelerate his momentum, not to take risks to melt down Joe Biden with verbal fireworks. Every 10 days, the campaign starts anew. Trump’s rallies are back. He miraculously beat COVID-19 in near record time. Judge Amy Coney Barret proved stellar.

VDH is pretty spot on. And so is that lady from the NBC Town Hall/Savannah Guthrie debate. Smile more. But I'm not sure any advice beyond "Let Trump Be Trump" is gonna work.

VDH offers good advice. Trump is a smart person and knows how to win. He is not dealing with his base of supporters, he already has them. He is not dealing with the hard-core left, they are firm about being democrats. Trump must deal with the independents / undecideds, and maintain a presidential posture in doing so. He has accomplished so much, and needs to point that out.

Add: coming after our firearms, sanctuary cities, charter schools, defunding the police, law and order, and bringing businesses back from China.

Trump should go in as the calm teacher, and treat the moderator and Biden like students.

The best advise is completely ignore the question and do two minutes on whatever subject you want. "That's a great question, Greta. But I'd really like to talk to the American people about . . . [2 minutes] . . . and that's why I need your vote."

Donald Trump will be Donald Trump. Period. If Donald Trump had followed all the well-meaning advice of the political talking heads out there, he never would have been president. So, while I am sure VDH means well, this is "crunch time". And President Trump wins or loses by being Donald Trump!!!

I love all the wonderfully wise counselors who constantly advise Trump to not be Trump. He got here by being Trump. He called the liars liars, and has been proven right again and again. He said he would do this, that, and the other, and he did it. We have already lived through the time where a Republican was the guy at the cocktail party apologizing for not being a Democrat. In the famous words from the best movie of the 20th century, "Oh blow it out your ass, Howard!" I am proud to be an American, I am proud to be a Republican, and I am proud to support Trump. I am not one of the liars, chiselers, screamers, libelers, or the corrupt compromisers who enable them. Go sit in the corner with your wine and cheese and let the real patriots support and restore the Constitution and the government of free men and women.

Agree the President needs to have short, concise answers, and not ramble, or get into the weeds. I'm sure Joe will ask him about a peaceful transition, which Trump can laugh a little, and declare he's planning on leaving in January 2024 after continuing to work day and night, for free, for the American people not these entrenched elites. Say how much he loves this country, and how he will ensure the American people will get to the bottom of the baseless attacks on him the last 4 years that no one would testify under oath that he had anything to do with Russian collusion. (again, don't get into the weeds, just broad brush). Be ready with the nursing home death totals from NY, NJ, PA alone, but be short, and concise. The last paragraph from VDH is terrific too.

He should approcajh it through the nearest OUT exit, hop in his limo and go enjoy a nice cheeseburger. I'm wondering if GOPs have any limit to the degradation they will allow themselves to be subjected? If they had to sit in their own poop for a week before the debate, would they raise an objection?

I wonder if Rush could pick up tgge phone and ask the President to read VDH's essay and consider using at least some of it? I get that "Trump needs to be Trump", but this is his last good chance to convince some of the folks who like his policies but are (IMO, bizzarrely) extremely upset by 'not being Presidential'.

Trump is a man of passion and principles! We like him like that! Go after Joe Biden with both barrels! If Joe objects, say “you can’t handle my tough questions but you want to negotiate for America in front of Dictators, Communists at the United Nations?” Sorry Joe, but either toughen up and stop being a fop behind some liberal skirt like she is your mommy! Get Joe to tell POTUS to “shut up” again! That was priceless!

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Catie Grusin didn’t know Eliza Fletcher, but she woke up at 3:20 a.m. and put on a pink top before attending a vigil and running event honoring the slain kindergarten teacher who was kidnapped during a pre-dawn jog in Memphis, Tennessee. Thousands of people like Grusin, in cities across the U.S., finished Eliza’s run on Friday morning. Holding a candle in the early-morning Memphis darkness, Grusin gathered with others and sang “This Little Light of Mine” — the tune associated with Fletcher, who softly sang it to her students in a video posted on the internet.

Without bogging us down in too many technical details, suffice it to say that this is a big deal. Or at least it might be at some point. Scientists and engineers have been working on a way to build a workable fusion reactor for decades. A fusion reactor is quite different than the fission nuclear reactors you see around the world today. But there are enormous challenges involved in taking the fusion process from the hypothetical realm and creating a functional reactor capable of producing electricity for our energy grid.

Former President Trump said late Thursday he would not oppose the release of a warrant authorizing the FBI to search his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. Driving the news: Responding to Attorney General Merrick Garland's request to a federal court earlier Thursday to unseal parts of the warrant that he confirmed he "personally approved," Trump said a statement: "Release the documents now!" What he's saying: "Not only will I not oppose the release of documents related to the unAmerican, unwarranted, and unnecessary raid … I am going a step further by ENCOURAGING the immediate release of those documents," Trump said.

A massive brawl broke out between up to 20 family members during a funeral for an elderly woman in Richmond on Aug. 6, leading to one injury, one arrest and $20,000 in damage, officials said. The Richmond Police Department said it responded to the Rolling Hills Memorial Park at 1:30 p.m. after several reports of a "chaotic altercation" between eight to 20 family members who were reportedly armed. Sgt. Aaron Pomeroy said it was an instance of family drama that started between a brother and a sister who were attending their mother's funeral and who do not get along — and "it goes back many years."

A man who was suspected of purposefully setting forest fires in a remote section of woods was tracked down and confronted by three local residents who tied him to a tree until authorities could arrest him, police say. The incident occurred on Monday at approximately 1:46 p.m. when the Curry County Sheriff’s Office received a call reporting active fires near Mariel Lodge and Rogue River Ranch located in deep southwest Oregon in an area that is only accessible by river or by Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management roads, according to a statement posted by Curry County Sheriff John Ward on social media.

There’s no evidence yet that Roe’s imminent demise will flip many votes this fall. But if you’re looking for anecdotes, have I got the clip for you. I don’t blame you if you read the headline above and thought, “Who cares?” But conservatives have sometimes cared about Portnoy’s opinion, especially when he was ranting against lockdowns and raising money for shuttered businesses during the peak of COVID. He was also ahead of the game on Trumpism, writing two months after Trump entered the race in 2015 on his site, Barstool Sports, that he was all-in on MAGA.

He names no names but there happens to be a guy on the same network who’s thrown both arms around the “bioweapons” nonsense lately and embraced it in a big bear hug. Coincidentally, that same guy is one of the most influential populist-nationalists on the American right. And populist nationalism happened to be the target of a harsh Mark Levin rant at CPAC last month. Is there some beef between him and Tucker or does Levin simply find Carlson/Bannon-style nationalism repellent? Not that I blame him.

Former President Trump endorsed GOP candidate Katie Arrington on Wednesday in her bid to unseat Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), who has blamed Trump for causing the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Trump, in a statement via his Save America PAC, knocked Mace, calling her “an absolutely terrible candidate” who has been “disloyal” to the Republican Party. He also said the congresswoman’s “remarks and attitude have been devastating for her community, and not at all representative” of the GOP.

He’s also progressive and participates in protests and gives to left-leaning causes. And Mark is looking for love. He wants to get married and have kids. In a liberal city like New York, swimming with single women wishing they weren’t, one could assume Mark wouldn’t have a problem finding a mate. And while he dates and recently had a couple of short-lived relationships, Mark remains single. He’s trying to understand why.

President Joe Biden on Thursday denounced Republican governors as 'unAmerican' for the way they were playing political games with migrants, after more than 100 were dumped outside the vice president's official residence and others were flown to Martha's Vineyard. It marked the latest salvo in an increasingly bitter row over the thousands of people crossing the border daily. Republicans have stepped up their attacks on the Biden administration as they try to make immigration the theme of November's midterm elections. Biden hit back as he addressed the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Gala. 'Republicans are playing politics with human beings, using them as props,' he said.

Sea level rise is increasing at a dramatic rate. Scientists at the University of Miami warn that if we don't act soon, coastal cities and towns will slowly diminish. Scientists say a few decades from now, downtown Miami will be underwater. The tide is coming in and eventually it's not going to go back out," says Dr. Harold Wanless, a Geologist and Professor of Geography and Sustainable Development at University of Miami. So what does that mean for us? According to Dr. Wanelss's research, by the year 2060, nearly 60% of Miami-Dade county will be underwater.

There has been a creeping meme among some Republican voters indicating that they will refuse to vote because they are fed up with congressional Republicans. They are telling everyone who will listen how horrible congressional Republicans are and are asking, "Why vote when our representatives do nothing and get nothing done?" People who advocate not voting are advocating surrender to the leftist mob and surrender to Democrats who have ruined a perfectly good country. They are recommending surrender to the leftists who are persecuting Republican conservatives. There is no other way to read this: If you won't vote, you turn the reins of what power you have over to Democrats.

The White House said it was the 21st time that the Defense Department has pulled weapons and other equipment off the shelves to deliver to Ukraine. The package will include more of the same types of ammunition and equipment that have helped Ukrainian forces beat back the Russian forces in portions of the east and south.

Respondents to the Annenberg Public Policy Center’s survey also had little understanding of the impact of a Supreme Court ruling, and few could enumerate the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment. “My impression is that even in prestigious universities, maybe 30% of all students could pass the civics test required of incoming immigrants,” said Joseph Ellis, a Pulitzer Prize-winning constitutional historian.(Snip)One-quarter of respondents could not name even one branch of the federal government,

Especially considering the “demographic winter,” which is so evident in Spain and Italy. “In Italy there are empty villages with just twenty old ladies and nothing else,” he said. “Why can’t we make a policy in the West where immigrants are included with the principle that the migrant should be welcomed, accompanied, promoted, and integrated?” he asked.

A person can make a compelling case that dropping unsuspecting migrants off in places like Chicago or San Francisco is cruel, but Martha’s Vineyard? Isn’t it more humane to send migrants to well-heeled communities than to allow them to live in “squalor” in makeshift tent cities under highway overpasses? Because I rarely hear the left worry about the latter. Then again, why has a story about 50 migrants spending a couple of days on Martha’s Vineyard garnered far more coverage and outrage from left media and punditry media than 51 migrants being cooked alive in a tractor-trailer only last month? Why is it barely news that officials dumped 1,000 migrants into

Charlie Baker to travel the 32 miles to Joint Base in Cape Cod (JBCC) just 48 hours after they landed in the billionaire’s enclave. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flew in the immigrants from Venezuela on Wednesday, sparking a widespread cry of outrage from the liberal leaders of the small island in Massachusetts. It was declared a humanitarian emergency, with the island leaders responding in the same way as a hurricane.
