Trump on the Ropes? Nope.
American Thinker ^ | June 24, 2016 | J. Robert Smith

Posted on 06/24/2016 2:44:15 PM PDT by Kaslin

The last week or so we’ve heard a lot about Donald Trump’s flagging campaign. Seems the unconventional candidate isn’t meeting conventional standards for what and where his campaign should be. As of this writing – June 23, 2016 A.D. – it’s a lot of hooey.

The hope among the MSM, Democrats, and the #NeverTrump rump is that Trump’s mojo ends with the primary and caucus season. A broader playing field full of independents and ethnics and women and “other” works against Trump. His message resonates only with surly unemployed gun-toting flyover country white males – who need to thumb rides to the coasts to find hourly wage jobs packing and shipping microchips, anyway.

Then there’s Trump’s supposed struggle with scale. This about a man whose business ventures are global.

Social and earned media, big rallies, and a shoestring campaign budget won’t cut it in a nationwide General Election, we’re informed. Never mind that the election really isn’t nationwide. There are red states that will go red and blue states that will go blue, even if Kim Kardashian was squaring off with Britney Spears. And battleground states, which either Trump or Hillary need to win. The proper scale is “battleground” with the betting that Hillary needs to play defense on blue turf like Pennsylvania.

Trump on the ropes?
Wishful thinking.

Trump never was on the ropes. You must have to dig mighty deep to find this garbage.

On one youtube feed of Trump’s Tuesday speech drew over 38,200 viewers.

Could Hillary even draw one-tenth of that: 3,820?

Trump does need to keep hammering that a Clinton presidency is an Obama 3rd term — more of the same, only MUCH more.

Don’t listen to the naysayers Trump is going to win big.

We have to avoid getting caught up in the daily preference polls and ‘creative’ reporting. They are intended to demoralize the Trump supporters.

Remember: He who commissions a poll can also commission the preferred results.

Don’t trust any of the anti-Trump headlines or polls or commentaries. If Trump were doing that bad, he wouldn’t be still getting 10s of thousands at his rallies.

I didn’t listen to Trump’s speech on Tuesday morning, because I had some errands to do. But Rush had the YouTube video of the speech in his transcripts so I listened to it after I read the transcript. It was very good.

I WANT Trump to run into static, to hit a wall here or there. Men in the private sector, when they hit resistance rise to overcome it and NOW not later. Making a Donald Trump sweat just puts him into his own wheel house.

It was so 'good' that Team Clinton still have not responded.

They are still in shock that any Pubbie would attack Saint Hillary in such a manner. They are also probably trying to figure out how they can get Hillary out of doing any presidential debates.

If Trump can stay alive I think he will crush Drooling Evil in the general.

All day I envision Hillary waking up bright and early at 10AM, turning on the TV and finding out that not only did the British go against her advice, but Trump, who had the opposing opinion, is on all the news stations, physically there, having a big news conference.

A couple of weeks ago Bill O’Reilly invited her on the factor. As expected she hasn’t shown up yet.

Trump walked through 16 candidates but he’s not the one registered Republicans want. And he’s in a dead heat with the worst Democrap candidate in the history of the world. It all makes sense to the establishment...

Looking at the pix with his 2 sons, its amazing that the MSM hasn’t compared him to the HUSSEINs. I’m sure they will eventually.
