Rush juts had an obviously planted caller on this very article. Obviously the GOP surrender monkeys or Dems are pushing it to suppress support for Trump.

“Strategists” arehoping more than anyone that Trump loses, because Trump has proved them to be largely unnecessary.

All I can say is that after everything that has been made public about Hillary's multiple crimes and dishonesty, after eight years of Obama’s feckless leadership and with Hillary not even denying she's running as his “third term” and with 68% of the country saying the country is headed in the wrong direction. If Hillary DOES win in a landslide, then Anne Coulter is correct, the country, as it was founded is truly finished and conservatism is a dead political philosophy. The voting population will have reached a critical mass of illegal immigrants, aggrieved minorities and brainwashed youth with the only viable philosophies from here on out being mainstream “European” socialism and far-left “Hugo Chavez” socialism, and the country will move farther left over the next eight years as the Supreme Court is stacked with socialists and the immigration floodgates from every third world hellhole are opened and universal amnesty is granted.

Whichever one wins I think it’ll be with fewer than 290 electoral votes. Maybe fewer than 280.

Different time, different electorate. People keep wishing for a repeat of 1980. I don’t see it. I’m thinking much more like 2000/2004.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Schmidt

“Schmidt was the senior campaign strategist and advisor to the 2008 presidential campaign of Senator John McCain.[2] He is currently a political analyst for MSNBC and has appeared frequently on Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO. In 2016 he has been critical of Republican nominee Donald J. Trump.”

QUISLING. Like he did a GREAT job for that idiot McCain and is getting a paycheck from MSNBC.

"Strategist" Steve Schmidt, huh?

I'll just leave this right here: https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/29808

Schmidt warned that Palin's nomination in 2012 would be "catastrophic" for the GOP. His doomsday prediction was backed by an October Gallup poll revealing her as one of the most polarizing and unpopular political figures in the country with a disapproval rating of over 50 percent. Unfortunately for Schmidt and other party pragmatists, those who approve of Palin represent the heartbeat of the Republican Party, its most fervent activists, and cannot be dissuaded from following her, even if she is leading the party off a cliff."

I think the repeat of 1980 is all the polls showing Trump down (well, of course not all but that’s the way the media is spinning it) and then Trump winning...extremely unlikely Trump wins by 10 pts like in 1980.

Steve Schmidt was also McCain’s campaign manager - and absolutely hates Trump with a passion.

Note On Essential Tactics

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.

Why are you posting this when I already mentioned it earlier in a comment on another thread? This is not worthy of a stand alone post?

I just don’t think your “estimate of the situation” is correct. I know that what you lay out is what the libtards want us to believe. I just do not buy it. If we were that deep in the crapper Jeb would be the nominee and Hillary WOULD be up by 50 points. I believe these polls are bought and paid for voter suppression polls and if you look at the D + in them you have to conclude as much.

I like Anne Coulter, for the most part, even though we ran her off years ago (she once was a FReeper) but even she prefaces all that with “IF”. Well, yeah, if those things are true, yeah, we are screwed. But like I said, if all that we’re true Jeb would be the nominee and all these venues that are now packed with screaming, enthusiastic supporters would be standing empty. They aren’t. There are still enough Americans out here in flyover country to turn things around. Most of the battle for the libtards has been directed at trying to prevent us from realizing it.

I remember the media and Nancy Pelosi ignoring us when one million of us got together on The Mall and sang Amazing Grace. I remember thinking back then that they would one day pay a price for that. Well, the day has come. November 8th is the day.

I think it was Charles Krauthammer who recently said that "Republicans keep telling me that all Trump needs to do is get back the Reagan Democrats. We'll no matter how hard he tries, Trump is not going to get them back. Why? Because they are laying in cemeteries across the Midwest and South."

He makes a good point, if you were a middle aged (45 year old) blue collar democrat in 1980, you would be 81 now. Most people don't realize that it's been 36 years since Reagan won in 1980. We are in a totally different era with a different population, an 18 year old kid that was barely old enough to vote for Reagan in 1980 is pushing 60 now!
