Last night Trump unveiled his campaign strategy, I think it could work.

I think the strategy may be, avoid the traditional media (broadcast and cable news) and focus on streaming content/podcasts etc. Trump has countless surrogates on YouTube and other social media platforms who regularly do reactions to Trump vids that generally prove Trump was right about much of what he claims.

Trump will do himself a huge favor by minimizing his interactions with members of the Anti Trump Consortium, instead, allow his thousands if not millions of surrogates to spread the America First/MAGA message while Trump fortifies the message with social media and his legendary rallies. No debates, no problem....there's no upside for Trump.

This ^^^^ strategy is a bit like Biden's 2020 GE strategy. Biden minimized his exposure to criticism by hiding away and he allowed the Gaslighting Media to carry the pro Biden load. Trump can employ a similar strategy using social media platforms.....I think it may work, particularly if the US economy is floundering this time next year or God forbid the US is actively engaged (US boots on the ground) in another military conflict....like Ukraine.

Trump's 2016 campaign was brilliant. I think campaigning is his strong suit. The creativity and unique things he does - maybe now that he's not POTUS full time he has more energy and time to pour into maximizing his campaign efforts. He also has the "Redemption Story Arc" in his favour, as Scott Adams would point out. Humans have a deeply engrained craving for redemption. Trump might do better with moderates this go round, especially if he behaves reasonably well closer to the election.

Not the same as a debate, at all.

As i stated last night, I do not recognize kings in this country. Maybe you do. But all candidates must debate to be qualified as POTUS.

Trump is about to destroy the MSM's (lying Media's) hold on the body politic.

Glorious!!

Sounds like a good strategy if your goal is running a campaign on the cheap

It depends on what you mean by "work"

If by work you mean hide long enough to win the nomination (which I think he will do regardless), sure.

Hide to WIN the election, no.

There are far more Democrats than Republicans, and more left leaning Indys than Right leaning Indy's.

Any R needs a lot of things to go there way.

Hiding and preaching to the choir will not do it. He needs to be 2016 again and also have some things go his way.

Trump won in 2020.

The message America first has always been the winning message.

Dude could coast into the WH if he'd stick to policy and quit acting like a teenage girl.

I don't mind him skipping the first debate but I will not vote for any candidate who refuses to debate.

Under any circumstances.

You can't complain about the DOJ being weaponized and then simultaneously say it's ok to not debate. We have foundations of our democracy and not having a debate is weak, pussy shite.

Again, I don't mind him not going to the first one but he needs to be there when the field thins out

Man, I don’t mind telling you that this strategy really seems like a Hail Mary pass to go to overtime.
