Breaking with conventional mainstream media wisdom about voters' top election concerns, part of President Trump's strategy will be to pummel rival Joe Biden on corruption allegations during Thursday's presidential debate in Nashville.
In a race that could hinge on questions of character, a Trump campaign pollster told Just the News that mainstream media polling questions asking voters to pick their top issues of concern from a list usually don't include corruption or scandals such as the Hunter Biden/Burisma investigation or FISA abuse among the options listed.
For example, recent polling from Gallup recently gave registered voters a list of 16 issues to rank in order of importance for their vote. None of those 16 options included questions around government accountability or corruption or surveillance of the 2016 Trump campaign and alleged FISA abuse.
A recent Pew Research Center survey employed a similar methodology with 12 issues, none of which included government integrity or public trust as an option.
Because of this information gap, the Trump camp is prioritizing discussing these issues throughout the debate.
"The mainstream media polls — they're not asking these questions at all, they're not acknowledging that this ever happened," John McLaughlin, a pollster for the Trump 2020 campaign told "Just the News AM" television show on Tuesday...

I don't think Trump would lose any votes.
I hope he points out that there was a lot of corruption in Ukraine and that the voters there recognized this and had enough of it, hence the surprise win by the candidate there who ran against corruption.
But don’t forget the stress the economy and bringing back jobs from overseas/Communist China.

You give people 16 choices to rank in a poll, none of those choices being corruption, and surprise surprise, it doesn’t show up in the polling results.
The moderator is a lib who has the power to cut off Trumps micrphone at will. And the topics will be Covid, the economy, racism and climate change. This debate is a farce, I don’t know why Trump agreed to this
When it’s too hard to come up with solutions for today’s problems this is what you do
Release the hounds!
I haven’t looked at the list of 16 options but I’d bet Q-anon isn’t on it at all, and if climate change is it’s about #15 at best. So why are debate questions about Q-anon and climate change all the time?
This is the only way a lot of people will hear about it with the complete blackout by corporate/social media.
The 3rd debate was originally to be foreign affairs but that was not in Joe’s best interest. My money says Trump ignores the topics and pounds on corruption anyway daring them to continue cutting his mic.

the even more garbled, actual answer:
VIDEO: 14s: Grabien: ABC/WISN: Biden Confuses Trump with Chris Wallace, Then Slips up and Calls Chris Wallace ‘Mike’
‘The president interrupted Mike, I mean, excuse me, Chris Wallace and me’
TRANSCRIPT:
BIDEN: “You noticed last time, according to Chris Wallace, he interrupted the President and me 148 times, I think that’s right. He interrupted Mike — the President interrupted Mike — I mean, excuse me, Chris Wallace and me 148 times.”

barry is back talking.... oh man... brings back memories of how much I couldn’t stand that person!

I believe in climate change . IT IS REAL.
Earlier in the week it was very nice here in Minneapolistan.
Yesterday we got seven inches of snow and the climate is much colder.
This climate change thingy seems to be happening every year.
Tell the truth and trust the people.
Nationalism and the swamp. It’s where Trump started, it’s where he must finish.
Just let him talk.
All a democrat laundry list of subjects. They’re not going to let Trump talk. Trump shouldn’t even bother.
Voters are going to care less about crack-head Hunter’s sexual transgressions, than about Joe using Hunter to launder kick-backs and bribes.
Hunter is not running for President. Stick with Joe’s crimes.
They will cut the mike as soon as they hear the name Hunter. They will cut the mike at any word sounding like huh.
Maybe a good idea. For instance those that watch only the nightly news don’t know anything about the Biden/China/Hunter/Burisma corruption.
