Trump's Tactics

[S.J.]

I keep hearing the talking heads and all the so-called political experts saying things like
"Trump needs to change his tone if he wants to win in November" and "When is Trump gonna learn that people don't like all that negativity?". "You can't insult your opponent and expect people to vote for you".

Here's a guy who has been attacked by both parties, his own party leaders, the entire media, and virtually every big business corporate heavyweight donor and something like $2 billion spent for the sole purpose of stopping him from getting the nomination as opposed to the paltry $50 million spent by him, and still he has handily eliminated 16 opponents, (some of whom have had unlimited financing and endorsements from former presidents).

He has defied all conventional wisdom and predictions from all the "experts" claiming he would drop out early, fizzle out, never make it to 1237, be ousted at a brokered convention, you name it. Not only did he secure the nomination but he did it ahead of schedule.

One by one, his opponents fell by the wayside while Hillary still struggles to put Bernie Sanders, a broken down old socialist who never worked a day in his life outside of government, never accomplished a thing in his entire political career, and has one foot in the grave.

But STILL, everyone who has been predicting his demise is saying he will lose if he doesn't adopt a different strategy.

Why in the world should he change his strategy now?

 

[Kat]

He shouldn't.

 

[ClosedCaption]

Because now the spotlight is on him and what he can do and not about his cute nicknames and vague answers.

Its not the advice of the latest enemy you determine is against you. Its the advice of his own circle! But since you cant use your phony attacks on Trumps people you instead pretend the advice is coming from "experts" (ooohhhh scary)

Trump imitates 'presidential': That was 'easy'

FTA: Trump told his audience that new additions to his circle, like senior aide Paul Manafort, are “supplementing” the team that he already has in place, while noting that he is being pressured to be more “presidential” by those close to him.

You mean the spotlight hasn't been on him so far?

doesn't matter.... he'll be a bully and a fascistic thug through the end of the race when he gets his butt kicked. even if he wanted to change, he'd still get up in the middle of the night and tweet insanity that "the uneducated" he loves so much will lap up.

Trump's tactics: "Lyin Ted's dad killed Kennedy!"

And with that, a paradox vortex opened and catapulted Earth into an alternate Universe where the Republican nominee for president is a limousine liberal.

Hearing you referring to "the uneducated" is like hearing Hillary Clinton referring to "the corrupt".

OP asked why should he change and blamed it on experts. Then he finds out those "Experts" are Trumps inner circle.

OP still blames others

I don't think Megyn Kelly is a part of Trump's "inner circle".

 

[Boss]

He cannot win the general election with 37% of the GOP vote. He has completely polarized the party from within. His tone and attitude, along with the tone and attitude of his supporters, has caused such a fracturing of the party that many will simply stay home come November and he will lose in a landslide. Even WITH party unity... everyone coming together to sing kumbaya at the convention... it is going to be a struggle matching the sheer numbers of registered Democrats out there. You don't seem to believe this, but you're going to find out.

Now... He does have the capacity to pull some Democrats over, and that's a good thing... it's still not enough to win the election because a vast majority of his base is the Conservatives who he has completely alienated. He has the opportunity to win their votes IF he changes his tone and starts speaking to Conservative values. If he doesn't, and if he and his supporters continue to act like they don't need the Conservatives to win, he will lose big time. 62% of the GOP didn't vote for him in the primary and many of them will simply never vote for him in the general.

This man has the largest negatives of any person to ever run for president on a major party ticket. David Dukes had more positive numbers than Donald Trump.

Ok gentlemen we have gone 16-0 on the season running the I (eye) formation. We've played through rain, sleet, snow, tornadoes, tsunami's, earthquakes, wild fires and we've even been attacked by our own players. Through it all, we have remained undefeated with this great offense. Today gentlemen, on the eve of the Super Bowl, we have decided to go to the shotgun formation!

I know all the ESPN analysts have criticized our "i'" formation and said we couldn't win with it, but today they announced we must use the shotgun to win. Good luck out there and bring home a victory tomorrow!!

No. So far he's gotten away with just not answering questions about his flip flops. He STILL won't answer if he's still a birther. What he's going to do is launch an all out attack on Hillary over calling Iran a disaster, Benghazi, Monica, emails, etc. And what the Clintons excel in is picking their weekly talking point and sticking to it. We'll see if his inability to respond to issues of actual policy mean anything anymore.

Oh, absolutely. He shouldn't change at all.

So far Trump has a winning formula, however the playing field has changed a bit and by default he will have to communicate with those he wishes to have on his side. That means there will be some change. This is where we will see whether he has what it takes to be a true leader as he needs to retain those who now support him and gain new support and backing.

"Tactics"... implies forethought. A plan. Thinking.

Not Trump's style.

Thinking before speaking...
