I do not want to come across as arrogant; but based on 60+ years of fighting for traditional American values, including hours of using live TV to advantage, I want to share some experience driven suggestions, both for our candidate, and all of us who will be actively promoting a Trump victory in just 20 days.
While speaking in anger can sometimes help rally those who share your beliefs and priorities, it is not the most effective way to convert those who dissent from our purpose. When there is a real problem to be addressed, it is almost always better to speak in sorrow than in anger.
In the present ideological conflict, there is great reason for sorrow. We need to interject, in every possible exchange, those contemporary phenomena that are not only unfortunate from our stand point; but which are likely to be understood as sad by anyone listening to us.
Putting this understanding to work in a situation such as tonight's Presidential debate; Trump needs to intertwine his response to essential policy issues, by sadly lamenting the background social climate, which certainly impacts all aspects of contemporary American life, including the problem reflected in the issue. For example:
The decline in pride in heritage, openly encouraged by Obama's repeated apologies to others for America's traditions & achievement--leading to Americans kneeling through the Star Spangled Banner;--his & Mrs. Clinton's siding with Soros financed thugs against the Police--leading to the cold blooded assassination of American cops;--their refusal to protect the border, leading to job losses among rooted Americans, brutal crimes against American women, and the despicable riots in California, where aliens who do not share our values, or honor our heritage, intimidate local officials into not celebrating the achievements of the Founding Fathers and their posterity.
It was only last week, when anti-American culturalists advocated not celebrating Columbus Day! The Obama/Clinton cabal seem intent on denying that our values & achievements, under uniquely American cultural values, grew directly out of the experience driven values of particular European settlers. That is fact. It takes nothing away from the achievements or values of any other people; but it is our fact, and we are entitled to honor that fact and the rich cultural heritage it reflects.
To the extent that the Obama/Clinton cabal would deny us pride in our history, they are truly bigoted enemies. But we do best, again, when we lament the success of our enemies, as we explain, again quietly and sadly, how totally despicable is this ongoing attack, coming indeed from those who have benefited so much, while gaming our system.
Some may think that this approach is going soft. It is precisely the opposite. In place of venting our wrath at the Obama/Clinton betrayal, we begin to instill wrath in some of those who otherwise would simply go along with the enemy, "to get along."
There is nothing the least bit new in these tactics. Anyone familiar with Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar," is quite familiar with the technique. It worked in the play because it reflects a true understanding of the psychological factors involved.

Thanks so very much for sharing your brilliant insight,
NOTE ON ESSENTIAL TACTICS with me.
Indeed, I yearn for the restoration of traditional values in our nation.
We are suffering greatly for removing God from our schools and public square, leading us into the societal decline we are experiencing.
I love when Trump proclaims that there is no limit to the heights we can achieve if we all come together, united under one God, and saluting the Stars and Stripes!!!
The horrible disrespect seen in professional sports, with players (led by SF QB Kaepernick) in kneeling during the National Anthem should be condemned.
Also, Obama, Hitlery and the dems champion BLM, inciting a virtual open season attitude against law enforcement. It is, moreover, alarming that this climate has resulted in police departments finding it difficult to recruit new officers.
Trump’s policy of not telegraphing how he would defeat Radical Islamic Terrorism is absolutely the right response.
What’s more, he is the only one calling for extreme vetting to keep the enemy from infiltrating our borders.
Additionally, he is the sole candidate who cared enough to meet with and support The Remembrance Families, who have lost loved ones to crimes perpetrated by illegals who should not have been here in the first place.
We need the Wall, the termination of sanctuary cities and adherence to immigration laws.
Thank God for Trump’s unbridled patriotism—and he is already my President in my hear, mind and soul!!!
Thanks again for your tremendous post!
