Why I'm Not Depressed And Panicked -- And You Can't Allow Yourself To Be Either

It isn't taking him out, no matter which poll you look at. You also have to keep in mind that it is an objective of the media-Democrat Party complex to dispirit you, to depress you. It is their purpose. The media-Democrat Party complex objective is to get you so depressed, so dispirited that you think it's over now. Beyond help. It's beyond fixing. They want to you lose your enthusiasm. They want you to begin to think of Trump the way they think of Trump.

And you notice the thing that they are not doing? For all this talk about what Trump's not doing and what he ought to be focusing on instead of the porn star, whatever she is, the Hillary campaign's not talking about what great stuff she's got planned. The Hillary campaign is totally devoted to Trump. They're not exactly running a big, positive campaign on all the great things that lie ahead of America if only Hillary Clinton is elected. They're not going there.

Trump needs to sell out and try to get the MSM to like him. That’s always worked for GOP candidates in the past.

Trump is a student of Norman Vincent Peale’s ‘The Power of Positive Thinking’. IMO, Trump’s positive attitude keeps him strong personally, and attributes to his successes.

When I despair during this campaign cycle, I think of ‘The Power of Positive Thinking’ which helps me to stay, well, positive myself.

“Why do some Freepers view Trump as a loser?”

Because we have a small number of GOPe and Soros trolls infesting FR. We also have a smattering of bed-wetting losers who wallow in defeatism.

Name calling is so awesome.

[Red Steel]

Always think like a winner just like Trump does.

You’ll win. :)

Why do some Freepers view Trump as a loser? Good question.

Many, tho surely not all, may be employing Hitlary's favorite tactic, to wit: accuse your opponent of your own character flaws/faults/sins/misdeeds/etc.
Repeat it ad infinitum and see what sticks.

Another percentage are what was called in olden times 'sunshine patriots' and prone to skedaddle at the slightest adversity.

Yet another percentage are defeatists by nature; Cassandras panicked by any little hangnail that comes along.

Then we'll always have those whose egos compel them to be contrarians merely for the sake of it - better negative attention than no attention at all.

Still others are simply clueless; making their presence here an even deeper mystery.

as for me, i say     Monster Vote !

I would add a small amount of my opinion as well.

I’ve been here for a long time(which means absolutely nothing). Having said that I would like to pose a major observation.

I personally have NEVER EVER seen FR so united behind one candidate. This is something highly unusual!

If the rest of the country are uniting like those of us on this small website, how are the rest of our fellow Americans taking this election? We are in the fight of our lives and I believe we are in it to win it!

How do the rest of you believe?

Just my .02.

Oh the Media morons so wish it.

Sorry you’re offended by nouns, little rabbit.

Well, we have a lot of them, but mostly I think this is just too big and too tense for them. They are listening to the propaganda coming from the well-bought old media. If Lester Holt didn’t cause the light to go on...if the coordinated bizzarly ridiculous Venezuelan Bimbo Eruption didn’t make the light go on...well, the switches ain’t going to work.

They wouldn’t have handled the Reagan election either. No one went into Tuesday thinking he would win...no one in the media was calling that either. For some people all I can say is chill, what will be will be and all the fretting in the world won’t help. Take a break, relax a little - it won’t hurt you - and let matters unfold. You can cut loose on the night of Nov. 8 and tie a big one on.

Presidents to lose Ohio:
Kennedy (D) 1960
Roosevelt (D) 1944
Cleveland (D) 1892
Cleveland (D) 1892
Buchanan (D) 1856
I should probably stop here (prior to founding of the Republican Party)
Taylor (W) 1848
Polk (D) 1844
Van Buren (D) 1836
Quincy Adams (D-R) 1824
Some sources will say “National Republican.”

Psychological warfare campaigning.

I’m just one person, but I don’t watch the news. I refuse to be spoon fed snippets of other people’s opinions.

[SaveFerris]

[ FR’s Nervous Nellies do us far more harm than any liberal. ]

Had one just a couple weeks ago or so with Communist Kapernick whose jerseys are now favored by rioters, it appears.

[scrabblehack]

I meant Cleveland 1892 and 1884.

[nutmeg]

What concerns me is an electorate that put BO in office. That and fraud.

Yup. The American electorate gets more dumbed-down every year. NOT good.

To qoute “The Iron Maiden”:

[Albion Wilde]

Why do some Freepers view Trump as a loser? Good question.

Because they have no respect for Jim Robinson.

[jacknhoo]

Trump will win, bigly.

[Republican Wildcat]

There’s no need to second guess that it isn’t wise when your opponent lays a trap for you - that is clearly orchestrated by her and the media - to just jump straight into the trap head first. That isn’t a guess at all. He did that with the Khans and now with the Miss Universe nonsense. “No comment” and both stories end with one round of interviews vs. giving them legs for many days on end by reporting his comments then getting more interviews with which to respond to the comments.

Trump is not someone I’m enamored with and that is no secret from the primaries...but he’s now the only thing we have to prevent Hillary being President and we can worry about the concerns we have with Trump again after Hillary has been successfully stopped. Even so, the belief you shouldn’t get roped in by your opponent so easily, nor give an opponent months of a monopoly over the message seen by huge numbers of voters in the air war is a universal viewpoint that would be applied to any candidate taking such a course of action...wouldn’t just be saying this about Trump. Of course, I can’t speak for everyone else making comments. I believe running over the summer a series of ads that were biographical, family oriented, etc. would have given him a more solid footing with people who have only been seen Hillary’s ads painting him as corrupt and dishonest - it would be helpful to more than just tied in abysmal favorability ratings.

Name calling just always seems so childish.
