Some Thoughts about Lewandowski, Campaign Funding, and Safety
Dilbert ^ | 6/21/2016 | Scott Adams

Posted on 06/21/2016 1:04:26 PM PDT by GilGil

Clinton will need every dollar she can get to match Trump’s powers of persuasion. As the GOP nominee, Trump will get all the airtime he needs. And because he is interesting, he will get more attention than any other candidate in the same situation.

Also, social media is a far bigger deal today than in any prior presidential election. Most of my friends claim they don’t watch television. And the few who admit to watching television record their shows and skip the commercials...

That said, massive spending on TV ads will move the needle a little. But at the same time, if the funding difference persists, it paints Clinton as the big-money candidate who is owned by the donors. Persuasion-wise, that’s suicide.

The bigger question is to wonder how much free advertising Trump has received in the last month. Clinton has raised $42 million. I bet Trump has received at least that much in free advertisement. Trump is doing to Clinton what he did to Bush.

She may as well take all her campaign cash and light a match to it. She will get the same outcome as doing the ads. The only benefit comes to those who produce the ads and collect the 15% commission.

This Dilbert guy is interesting.

First he was “analyzing” Trump. In a quite positive and insightful light. Then he went to open support of Trump.

But now he says he supports Hillary.

I would not be surprised if this guy begins writing negatively about Trump in late August or so.

It’s like Morning Joe.

You see how much they propped up Trump in the primary.

As soon as Trump won, they turned viciously against Trump.

You should carefully read how he says he supports Hillary. It’s a red herring!

The 2016 campaign will be the acid test of the effectiveness of a social media / asymmetrical campaign versus the conventional big money, old media, party apparatus campaign. Can Trump turn the race into a reality TV show?

His support of Hillary is a joke. Read his last couple of blog posts where he specifically tells readers how to persuade someone to vote for Trump. Would a real Hillary supporter do that?

Good gosh....he was being sarcastic. Do you ever stop Trump trolling, finnegan?

I endorsed Clinton for my personal safety because her side uses guns for offense. Republicans, mostly defense. https://t.co/06Nr6Iy7k0— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) June 21, 2016

You’re overthinking it. Scott’s support for Hillary is tongue-in-cheek.

I know. He is implying Hillary supporters are criminals and killers. What Hillary supporter wants to be labeled that!

But let’s look at the firing through a persuasion filter. If you are Paul Manafort, and you want to send a clear signal that the Trump campaign plans to do a post-convention pivot to a more presidential vibe, what’s the best way to do that?

Answer: Fire Corey Lewandowski.

Dilbert is saying this is RNC appeasement.

Or having Corey run all over the media saying what kind of a great guy Trump is is classic Trump. He gets another $20 million in free advertising and Corey must be getting some unbelievable gravy for doing this just like Roger Stone.

Exactly.

Like Scott Adams I could say that I support Hillary because she has the best killers and violence in her supporters.

Does that sound like a good endorsement.

Adams is saying that he supports Hillary because he does not want to be killed. Does that sound like an endorsement?

Trump is not stupid. There’s a very necessary role for paid media and for GOTV/ground game.

He’ll need both to win a national campaign.

“Adams is saying that he supports Hillary because he does not want to be killed. Does that sound like an endorsement?”

It sounds like humor.

He is a humorist.

You surely can’t take that statement literally?

All Trump need is a couple youtubes and teets and Hillary's a goner. Just off the top of my head.

"Bill, I'm totally bummed. You got lewinskied but you never asked me for a BJ.'
"I think you only married me for my vagina."

"Hillary, you want to be president, and my getting
lewainskied translates into a lot of Democrat votes and donations.
One Democrat offered me 200,000 if I got Monica to harmonica him."

========================================

HILLARY'S "HEART OF GOLD" CAMPAIGN STRATEGY Plans to showcase her "kind-heartedness and compassion;" emphasizing her sucking-up to the snarling abortion worshippers. Will use the classic compassionate Democrat MO---unleashing more govt power on the unborn.

"A vote for me is a vote for a Fully-Fornicating Society. I'll order non-stop govt
aggression over the unborn.I will end the punishment of an unwanted birth."

===========================================

Hillary knows the genital-sniffing Planned Parenthood abortion worshippers who populate the Dem party are crazy over the Clintons.

Bill and Hillary are the living breathing embodiment of The Fully-Fornicating Society w/ none of the evidence of sexual activity.....the "nuisance" of an actual child being born.

Hillary and Bill successfully exploited Bill's ability to have sex w/ younger women. Bill gives sex-obsessed lefties a vicarious thrill....visions of the married, gray-haired Clinton getting a young WH intern to crawl under his desk to give him a BJ is better than Viagra.

Really! The guy who killed the 50 people in Florida was a Hillary supporter. Over half of the 9-11 terrorists were democrats. The Mexican flag waving nuts at Trump rallies are violent and on and on.
