What Trump Can Do To Reach More Voters
Donald Trump For President Blog ^ | October 23, 2016 | Pinkbell

Posted on 10/23/2016 6:53:55 PM PDT by Pinkbell

We currently have some polls that show Trump with a 2 point lead, and then we have others, like the ABC poll that show him losing. Trump is fighting a three pronged war against Hillary, the media, and some in his own party.

The media is minimizing (if not ignoring) the Wikileaks. The attention given to the O'Keefe tape was so minor compared to if it were the reverse and Republicans were caught doing what they did.

Therefore, how can he get the message out to the American people? He is doing it at his rallies, and certainly thousands watch online, but probably a lot of those are his supporters. I have seen this suggested by Trump supporters on Twitter, so this isn't entirely my idea.

First, it was suggested that Trump turn his Twitter feed into a source where he can Tweet out Wikileaks and negative Clinton stories. Trump must have seen that advice because that is being done on his Twitter feed.

Second, utilize Periscope, Facebook Live, or Youtube Live. Trump has over 12 million followers on Twitter. If Trump goes live on Periscope, for example, this will not only reach them, but it will reach people they retweet. It's unconventional and may even be covered by the media to some extent.

Trump can read the Wikileaks and the news the media is ignoring. The media won't cover it like we want? Bypass them.

Trump can do a different theme each night talking about jobs, trade, the economy, crime, school choice, the 2nd Amendment, immigration, foreign policy, faith, etc. I'm not talking about a big policy speech but rather just a face to face with the American people explaining why his policy will benefit America and help the person watching. If anyone saw the Facebook Live post debate, Trump's advisors were on there discussing things. What Trump could do is do is do a Q&A or discussion with a friendly moderator or have guests like Rudy, Jeff Sessions, Pastor Jeffries, Sheriff Clarke, women who have defended him or who support his campaign like Diamond and Silk, AJ Delgado, Lynne Patton, Carrie Prejean, etc. He could have his strongest surrogates, his family, on there.

It's a way that has never been done before by a Presidential candidate. We know Trump prides himself on breaking the mold and thinking outside the box. The media isn't with you, so bypass them and become the media.

There are still undecided Americans out there. That's why the polls move. Trump can reach these people by speaking directly to them. They might not go to or watch a rally, but they might watch something being Tweeted out or posted on Facebook or Youtube by one of their friends.

The most effective way to sell a product or service is through visual advertising. Trump rhetoric is fine but doesn't reach anyone other than those at his rallies who will be voting for him anyhow. He is preaching to the choir.

Donald needs to advertise on tv by playing 30 second snippets from Clinton Cash and the O'Keefe videos. All the material is right there in front of him. Share it with the public.

30 minute cable infomercials playing for the next two weeks as the first ads after regular programming stops and the last ones before it starts up again in the morning. Play them on multiple channels. Show the best part of his rally speeches mixed with bad of Hillary or new materials. They would be cheap, reach millions of non news watchers, and fly under the media radar.

I agree. Add to that visuals of certain key wikileaks emails - small snippets -

I saw a few anti-Trump and anti-Hillary ads during the Cubs-Dodgers game last night here in suburban Chicago.

I know Trump has his minority outreach program, but I have no idea how effective it is. I wish Trump would make more of an effort to reach young voters and explain how the country's perilous financial position will impact them as they get older.

Aside from Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s people are working in a silo. No creativity.

They’re looking for ideas. You have any, tweet his sons, his camp, post on these boards, etc.

Trump listens to talk radio shows - email them, call in with ideas.

Monday night, paid 2 min address during primetime. seated at his desk. Frame everything in terms of the dismal economy and a fresh change for real economic growth. Mention Hillary’s defects only in passing, but with deadly accuracy. A message of optimism.

I've sent Trump money and offered to be a silent, unpaid "asset" to his campaign to offer nothing more than ideas. All I get in return are canned requests for more money.

I don't know how to contact anyone who could make a difference with fresh ideas and innovative thinking. What is are Ivanka, Eric and Don Jr's email addresses?

Freepers need to text the video link to everyone in their cell phone contacts and ask everyone to share it likewise.

Compare Trump Hillary flyers with links to fact check. Put on Twitter,email and text to current supporters and ask them to print and pass out at churches,schools meeting to thhe uninformed voters. No other way. MSM willl not help.

30 minute cable infomercials....

NO!! And not just online either. What he already should've done is buy time on the major networks...ABC, NBC, CBS. A lot of the voters he isn't reaching with his message are the ones who are suffering the most. Antenna TV of major broadcasting networks is the only way to reach them directly. Consider how many millions watched the debates when they weren't restricted to Cable TV.

I agree but he should turn to social media for the broadcast. Newt did a great talk on Facebook. He needs to do two or three of these, but well publicized in advance, talks/addresses/ messages to the American people.

Target the TV advertising to known liberal shows like Madame Secretary and Two Broke Girls. Only a few weeks left to reach the liberal TV viewer.
