Trump campaign flying anti-socialism banner above Democratic debate
The Hill ^ | 09/12/19 | Aris Folley

President Trump’s reelection campaign will be flying a banner attacking socialism in Houston on Thursday, shortly before Democratic presidential candidates take the debate stage there.

An official with the campaign told ABC News that the group plans to fly a banner that reads, "Socialism will kill Houston's economy,” from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The third Democratic presidential debate is scheduled to begin an hour later.

The campaign also plans to take out two full-page advertisements in local newspapers taking aim at Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), former Vice President Joe Biden and former Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Julián Castro. The ads will run in Houston and in San Antonio, where Castro was born, the campaign said.

“I LOVE that we finally have someone who is willing to turn the Alinsky tactics back on the Left.”

He’s trying to teach Republicans how to play politics in this age...but it seems sometimes that it’s like trying to teach Antonio Brown how to write in English.

I think that the Republicans should change color to green. Green is for money and it would be “in your face” to the “Green New Dealers”.

Too bad it could not have been kept a secret until they did it. Much more impact.

There's protesting going on all right - bunch of dingalings are dangling off a bridge over the Houston ship channel to "protest" big oil. You know the commie circus is in town for sure now.

I believe that the low info voter would understand and react to shutting the oil industry, than socialism.

Back in the 1950's and 60's the media identified red as the Democrat party and blue as the Republican party when drawing political maps concerning elections. Somewhere along the line the media swapped the earlier color identifications. How many of the old timers here can remember that?

Socialists were identified as Pinko's. Not quite full Communists yet.

Literary and historical references to “reds” has always meant communists. Young people will read these pre 2000 references and think that they refer to Republicans. The propaganda press flipped the colors for the two parties in 2000 knowing exactly what they were doing.

Back in the ‘60’s it was “Kill a Commie for Christ”.

In the 1980s, too.

R switched to totally red in 2000.

I’m not denying he’s a genius - but his political success is largely due to having the balls (and wisdom) to tell the unvarnished truth, and damn the torpedos.

He speaks his mind on Twitter, but also in interviews, at rallies, press conferences, speeches, whatever. He obviously isn’t trying to score political points, and thereby scores political points.

I think his honesty is so refreshing - no wonder people in high places hate him so much.

There’s a word of it, I think they call it unconscious competent.

The best strategy is to keep the Democratic nominee firmly boxed in to the Left, and not allow them to move towards the center.

“The air conditioning and electricity should be cut off to Texas Southern, site of their show, as an object lesson illustrating the folly of these ignorant Democrats.”

Sounds like a great plan. Having a meeting in Houston in mid Sept without AC and electricity to promote a green agenda.

He is by far the best president of my lifetime, and I got to vote for Reagan. The GoP throws one limp-wristed sissy after another at us, and we’ve finally got a man’s man in the White House.
