Post WalMart receipts from 2019 and today.

No words necessary. Just 30 seconds of silent TV with the different receipts side by side.

You’re asking the PT how to win over moderates? There have been multiple threads debating nicknames for Kamala ffs.

For real though the Trump people better get started because the dems are making a strong play for moderates. Rally message last night was all about Walz record for reaching across the isle.

Even after 8 years some people still don’t understand that the appeal of Trump is rooted in his willingness to be himself, warts and all. If he starts coming off like a polished product of a focus room he ceases to be effective.


Sure, but he reached a point where he’s maxed out. He needs to broaden his appeal and not tick off people with his BS.

He could be himself and not bash a John McCain, or Gov. Kemp. He could not take the bait and weigh in on Harris’ ethnicity. He needs to not comment on everything everyday.

I’m not suggesting that he becomes a trained parrot, but he needs better self discipline. Harris and Waltz have a record. Attack it.

Are you under the impression that 100% of the population votes?


No one suggests that, it is assumed in common discussion we are dealing with the actual ratios. If you are going with 30% of the 250 million eligible voters are straight up MAGA then you have 75 million. Because only about two-thirds actually vote, you are now at 50 million people. So, you need other voters to win the election still.

I say most points the Republican platform has can be trotted out. The problem I see is that Trump will attack the reporter instead of the company like he did with that reporter last week which really turns people off. I would say Trump/Vance need to focus on how they execute their platform and if they encounter a "loaded" question during their explanation.

Not upsetting.

Just concerning.

No. But I do think Trump would love it if he did.

Trump and Vance just need to focus on the 2 things I posted on page 1: Economy and Border. These are polling across partisan lines as concerns.

You won't get there just by hammering Kamala's negatives.
1) Trump needs to stay disciplined. He can attack,, but get his campaign to review tweets before hitting send. Have a little tact. You won't lose any of your base with a little tact.

2) You can be vicious in attacking the press. The best way to raise Trump's ceiling is to convince more of the public that the press has been lying to them and continues to lie 24/7 about politics. Show the many examples in ads. Trump should admit that he can be a little brash. But most people who hate him do so because they have believed the lies from the press, regurgitating whatever the Dems tell them to say.

Why would we want to do that? Anyone who has clicked a D in the past 8 years should not be courted at all. Focus on the Independents and getting the Ds to realize how stupid they are (and not vote).

I agree.

If 100 percent of Trump campaign ads on Youtube and TV between now and November are about either the "cost of living ad" or the "border,"it would be a great benefit to his campaign. I'm talking about every last one of them.

Ads asking parents if they want their 14 year old daughters forced to share bathrooms with 14 year old boys pretending to be girls.
It's hard to imagine even Dem parents finding that acceptable.

borders is a winner, but they need to focus on specifics, not casting every hispanic person as a murderer and rapist and drug dealer.

one thing that is NOT a winner is spouting the groomer/pedo bullshite at every person who doesn't loudly scream trump. giant mistake letting it get this far.

If he can stop killing his own message Trump can win.

Lots of moderate D and R to be had.

Dump DJT and Vance and reveal Ike and Nixon were cloned and ready to run.
