re: Vivek is right. Trumps going to lose using the current campaign approach

It's a campaign point ... Kamala heritage and bar passing. But not the point that Trump needs to make. Others need to buy he needs to focus on policy and being presidential

He needs the timid middle

Look, Obama insulted half the country as bitter clingers and stoked racial hatred at every opportunity. Biden threatened detractors as needing fighter jets if they had a problem with the government and insulted his voter opposition frequently while his wits held up. Both received these "timid" votes you speak of. Meanwhile, John McCain attacked HIS OWN VOTERS for attacking Obama. Mitt Romney basically shut his campaign down to be the nice guy. Both were drummed in the election.

Let's say Trump stays nice politician on the issues. Immigration: the media screams "RACIST" 24/7 like they did leading up to 2020 and throughout Trump's Presidency. Economy: the media screams "FAIR SHARE", "TARIFFS CAUSED THIS", "RACIAL DISPARITY" and Kamala just smiles and waves. Foreign policy: "RUSSIARUSSIARUSSIARUSSIA!" Kamala acts like Russiagate is real and the election is a fight against Putin.

The problem is the corporate media machine is 100% a campaign tool of the globalist left. The entertainment industry is 100% a campaign tool of the globalist left. The universities, education system, most of corporate America...globalist left. Do you know how Trump got elected in 2016? He was loud, brash and said a lot of politically edgy shite about immigration that the media REPORTED because they could paint him as racist, and it HIT HOME. His rallies make news. When he's the most Trump, he gets the most response. When he talks basic policy - which he does - it gets no traction in the media, it gets no traction in any corner of popular culture and outside of those already voting for Trump, no one knows he said any of it. Trump is going to burn through that. It's a gamble and it's one that's already WON AN ELECTION.

If Trump loses, it won't be the middle. It will be the same election laws that allow thousands of dead people to vote, empty lots used as home addresses, illegals going to the polls in droves with no ID checks, voter rolls being signed onto ballots by democrat campaign workers, regardless of whether they actually voted or not. That's what Trump is fighting and that's where the battle will be won. The "timid middle" don't matter. They don't care. They are the sheep driving the flock over the cliff while the elite laugh. You can't build a campaign around those people.

There still some reasonable enough to discuss granular details with a level head though.

I find nothing ‘reasonable’ about obvious concern-trolling by anti-Trumpers of any ilk.

It’s just plain phony and it’s not interesting, to me, to engage or argue with phonies.

For any truly opposed to the far left and who are scared by these feeble attempts at propaganda, I encourage you to note two things:
1. They NEVER accrue concern to short-comings of the far leftists’ campaigns.
2. Quit your sniveling, cast aside the Pecksniffian cants of those trying to weaken your resolve, and “Fight! Fight! Fight!…

I think the bigger question is why it's needed. What can this strategy do net positively for Trump?

---

I don’t know. The dude likes to kick the hornets nest sometimes.

I reject the notion that there exists some perfect script and, if only Trump would follow it, everything would be smooth sailing to an easy victory.

I mean, I just don’t understand how anyone can even pretend that’s remotely reasonable given the landscape.

If only Trump was Jeb! he'd have this thing locked up right now.

At first, I thought Trump was stupid for wading into this. But then, when I see how Kamala was cooking masala with Mindy Kaling and MSM covered her a few years ago, I now think it's 8D MAGA chess.

I never said that. I'm a big "perfect is the enemy of good" person, myself.

It's about more/less efficient/EV and the risk-reward associated with both.

This is highly risky with no upside at all. It's a waste of resources (inefficient) and -EV.

What landscape?

Have we forgotten just how discombobulated all institutions aligned with the Left were around the debate when Trump what people like slut and myself said he should be doing now? He focused on issues, not personal attacks and looked like a serious politician and not someone just trying to be king of trailer park insults, and the Left did not know how to respond.

Why not just do that?
