Sage advice for FR concern trolls second-guessing Trump's every move. MSM wants you to think he's a loser.

But Hillary thinks he's the threat and she is focusing on him rather than all her wonderful plans for the country should she be elected.

FR's Nervous Nellies do us far more harm than any liberal. They all see every thing as bleak and dark. Democrats don't see Hillary as a winner.

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

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

“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.

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.

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.

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

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.

[patriot08]

See post 26. Hannity, Newt and all his guests agreed with every thing I said hours ago here.

[Innovative]

The point is: all Trump supporters need to get out and actually VOTE.

Rush is right, the MSM and the Democrats exactly want people to stay home and not vote, so they can get Hillary elected using the “votes” by dead voters.

[Innovative]

Bottom line : Just get out the vote, don’t listen to anyone trying to convince you that your vote is not needed either because Trump is ahead or behind. Just VOTE!

[Impy]

I’m not particularly concerned over the debate and I agree the agenda-driven media is pushing the not necessarily true idea that Trump did very poorly to influence ignorant undecided voters, but doubting that everything is sunshine and roses doesn’t make one a concern troll. I think all freepers should chill and attack liberals and democraps rather than each other.

[Trump_vs_Evil_Witch]

Not all of us ‘Trump second guessers’ believe he is a loser....but, it is time for his support team to EXPOSE THE WITCH! There is a whole generation that doesn’t really know about: Monica-gate, ICBM technology to China-gate, Whitewater, Mena Ark-gate, cocaine trafficing-gate, Vince Foster-gate, Ron Brown-gate, Saul Alinsky-gate, WICCA-gate, all the ‘convenient’ political deaths-gate,....the Dixie Mafia.....Kathleen Willey, Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, ....

It is an endless list

[itsahoot]

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

Because they saw Cruz as a winner.

[SamAdams76]

Good post. I think all the Debbie Downer concern trolls on Free Republic should take a vacation from this forum until November 9th. They need to get out into the sunshine and get some fresh air.

Donald Trump has given us the most exciting GOP campaign since Ronald Reagan back in 1980. I think the results will be similar as well.

Change is in the air. You can feel it, smell it, taste it.
