Hey MSM! Making Trump a Martyr in your "Town Hall" Will Backfire Spectacularly
Lenora Thompson, Patriotic Writer ^ | 10/15/2020 | Lenora Thompson, Writer

Posted on 10/15/2020 8:01:48 PM PDT by Lenora Thompson

This is a rant. Plain and simple. If I don't rant here, I'll burst a blood vessel because I don't have President Trump's grace and patience. Within the first five seconds of the Trump Town Hall hosted by Savannah Guthrie, I was using words that would make a sailor blush.

Please tell me I'm not the only one.

In yet another example of Trump-debating-and-beating-the-Moderator, the Mainstream Media culminated a week of doing every possible thing to silence any anti-Biden news with this charade of a Town Hall.

How exactly is that supposed to serve the Democratic ticket!?!

Don't they know that a martyr is more attractive, not less?

Thank God in debate Trump ain't no gentleman. Savannah may look bedraggled yet sweet in candy pink, but she came out swinging, beating the same outdated, invalidated drum, starting with the gag-me-with-a-spoon "Covid, Covid, Covid" and moving on to White Supremacy. Way to think inside the box, Savannah! A rehash of a rehash of a rehash. It didn't work four years ago and it won't work now.We're not stupid, even if Kamala thinks we are. (Debt, anyone!?! LOL)

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

If you watched the Town Hall on YouTube as I did, you doubtless noticed that the ABC icon for Biden subliminally screamed "President" while the NBC icon just said "Trump." Uh-huh. Nice try.

But it wasn't just the visual, it was the audio quality. It was horrific on YouTube. Torturous. The ear drums were buffeted. I finally found good quality audio on the Telemundo channel. My nature is usually trusting, but I believe the audio was engineered to torture the American people into tuning Trump out.

Remember "their feet left bloody footprints in the snow." We are the people of Valley Forge, of Bloody Omaha, of Fort McHenry. Bad audio won't discourage us from supporting our beloved president. We patriotic Americans are made of sterner stuff than that!

It may be clever marketing but bookending each segment of the debate, I mean "Trump Town Hall" with Joe Biden ads was in-your-face. Shut up, Joe! Or shall we talk about Hunter? Aw, c'mon man, I wanna talk about Hunter!

Presidential debates are tradition, not law, but this unprecedented scrapping of a proper face-to-face debate format screamed one thing: cowardice. Joe Biden is too dirty, too corrupt, too treasonous, too embarrassed and too far gone with dementia to face President Trump in debate. COVID was just a pathetic excuse. Don't insult my intelligence!

Talking logically about Truth in the face of the hypocrisy and bald-faced lies of the Liberals is as futile as trying to have a logical discussion with an insane person.

The Left knows the truth just as well as we Conservatives do. It must be a special kind of Hell for them to continue to support Joe, in spite of everything, while attacking our good president.

They should be ashamed of themselves and frankly, I wouldn't want to be facing their Eternity. As Helene Hanff said so pithily in 84 Charing Cross Road: "They'll burn for it, mark my words."

I avoided getting my blood pressure raised by either of these farces. Watched the MLB playoffs instead. Much more interesting. Besides, I’ll get the synopsis of both on the morning talk shows if I really want.

Not that either of the “town halls” would influence my non-vote for President. Living in CA, it doesn’t much matter if Biden wins by 4,000,001 votes or 4,000,000 votes. He still will get the 57 EVs regardless.

Good for him. We have those kinds in our family as well. Some would vote for dog droppings for office if there was a ‘D’ behind its name.

I knew my reaction would be the same if not more violent than yours. Ergo, I didn’t volunteer for the pain and didn’t watch 1 second of it.

You must have a higher pain/anger threshold than I.

Yep. They don’t get it.

The more flagrantly and belligerently they treat him, the more support he will get. They just don’t get it...

The town hall tonight easily, easily gave Trump hundreds of thousands of not milllions of new voters, most then purely because of how absolutely biased and spiteful the host treated him.

I think it was just to put it in Biden’s face, so fair enough. Guthrie is a joke. I can’t imagine anyone was impressed by her frantic non-stop attack mode.

Whoever on Trump’s team agreed to the format should be fired. Allowing the rabid anti-Trump host to attack the President for 20 strait minutes before even starting the town hall was totally unacceptable. And then, after answering the questions from the audience, the host attacked and twisted his answers! Clearly she knew the questions and had prepared rebuttals for the answers!

It should have been a straight “Town Hall” as advertised, with ACTUAL undecided voters, not democrat shills.

Meanwhile, Biden fielded softball questions that he likely knew ahead of time and chummed it up with buddy George.

Say Trump will get sympathy all you want. This was a bad night for him.

Thanks for writing reporting. From what I’m reading, the Me Again, Chrissy, style. Ask accusatory Q....attack/interrupt....attack/interrupt...attack/interrupt...and some talkers talk fast for diversion purposes. Did I watch it? 7734 NO.

Psychopaths have “tells”. What does flailing flabby arms, Lizzy Warpath, Bill Moving Hands Gates, Flaily [arms mini-Medusa (to Gretchen Whitmer aka Wretched Hitler/Michigan Medusa)] Screechums (rep from Michigan Haley Stevens) have in common?

It’s like the whirling dervish/demons are coming out of them on camera. Look at the videos.

He knows what he's getting into, he knows what he's doing - he's turns lemons into lemonade at every turn with those losers. And it creates buzz he's looking for - people like excitement smack! bang! pow! and POTUS delivers...

That's true. Rumor is President Trump thought it would be worse than it was...

You’re absolutely right. Biden couldn’t survive the treatment Trump received. Trump seems to relish the conflict. Biden is pathetic.

...Not sure why Trump allowed her to run a town hall...

I will tell you why.

The ratings for these two head-to-head Trump vs. Biden shows are the best proxy for an anonymous poll we will get up to election day.

When do we get to know the ratings?

I do it to individuals that I know. Didn’t watch...but POTUS or anybody else should stop the attacker in mid-attack and ask the attacker why such an attack/interruption method...to point out for all to see. PSYCHOPATHS have very fast minds. That’s why they think/know that they are superior to non-essentials. A drugged up, doped up non-essential cannot keep up. I’ve distanced from long term acquaintances after realizing what they were doing.

FYI...a classic exchange watch Alex Jones fast in a good way confronting David Gergen at Bohemian Grove to catch the speed of Gergen’s thoughts. Chrissy Mathews...another fast talker...fast mind. Hillary, Liz, Haley, BIG MIKE....BIG SCREECHERS TOO. Pelosi, Marxine, Byedone, Hiilary and others are loosing it mentally and they know it...so they default to anger.

Others are just cold-blooded, zero-compassion-face calculating minds/faces...Soros...Barack (stutters/pauses to find the right words)...faces...Manson, Marx, Hitler, Atta, Khomeini, Mao...Strzok, Ohr, Brennan, Jarrett, Emmanuel,...

POTUS is fast-mind humorous that can keep up with them...quick...analyze Q...punch back. He’s up against the best deceiving PSYCHOPATHS in America.

It is a troubling time...the best of times...the worst of times.

Our amazing president Trump, who did not have the questions beforehand, as did the interviewer of this TownHall, answered each question with grace and dignity and concern for the welfare of the American people that he cares very much about.

Think of this, that interviewer had all the questions beforehand, had all the politically correct answers to what points she was supposed to bring up, had been coached on what she should say if he says such and such....Still he CONTINUALLY knocked it out of the park with GREAT, sincere, inspiring answers showing his great intelligence and loyalty to America.

Before the downhill, (whoops, I meant, before the Town Hall) it was the debate of a democrat’s dreams....THEIR side had all the answers, all the coaching of what to say, had handpicked all the questions from any audience participation...even the questions from people who had voted for Trump (all of 2 I think) seemed to be chosen to bring Trump down with a coached interviewer meant to interrupt and attack any inspiring thing he was to say, yet our President Trump knocked it out of the park every time.

This was hardball to its core.

And the American people will see it. We the people see that even in a room, which was set up just like the debates are, with hardball questions to the president, with the interviewer having all the topics the LEFT think are the down and dirty things to bring up, the president shone like a star. Because he is.

It is a great thing when godly people are praying for our president and his family and our government to make the right decisions. Our president is very intelligent, but I do give great credit to the people of America who have prayed for our president and for America.

If you would like to pray along, I would consider it a blessing.
Thank you.

Dear Heavenly Father,
We humbly come to you and ask You to bless our president, protect our president, and his family. Help him to always make the right decisions. Help him defeat Antifa and every other marxist, communist group that threatens the freedoms and a civil America that our forefathers fought for.

Please keep him safe and help him.

We ask that you will bring down EVERY attempt of fraud in this elections. We ask that every legitimate vote be counted and every fraudulent vote NOT be counted.
You can do anything.

We also pray for all the propositions on the ballot that are bad for America will lose; and the propositions that are good for our country will win and not be defeated by fraud.

We ask that wise, God fearing conservative leaders will be placed in the Senate and in the House.

We pray for godly decisions.

Lord, I know Your people will trust You no matter what happens. We pray that we would put our faith, hope, and trust in YOU alone. It is You alone who saves.

We have just been so blessed to have a president who has protected the life of the unborn and who has fought to reverse this evil.

We pray that Amy Coney Barrett will be confirmed and as soon as possible.

In all these things we ask that Your will be done.

Amen, in Jesus mighty name.

He did that, as did she. And her mic was bumped up higher so her shrill voice was louder than Trumps. This was straight up a debate between Guthrie and Trump, where she knew the questions and had prepared ambushes and rebuttals. The audience were just her props.

Like I said, whoever on Trump’s team signed off on the format should be fired.

Are you kidding? Anyone capable of critical thought watching this woman could clearly see she was an utter disaster and came off as a habitually interrupting jackass.

Did ya happen to notice Trump's not afraid to walk into enemy camps and go head to head? Did ya ever see Biden do that?
