The media has been deliberately spinning a very dishonest narrative of the Khan flap. They are leaving out the essential details to paint a picture that you have bought into.

How to counter it? We need to be careful not in anyway to asperse the dead soldier; but to point out that it is the Hilary campaign that is abusing his sacrifice, by using it to have his father, who has a very different agenda, slander Donald Trump. It is a lot like the Mrs. Jim Brady misuse of her husband's incapacitated remains as a prop for trying to take away Americans' Second Amendment Rights.

I agree that Donald Trump should not have continued to personally respond to the Senior Khan--particularly once the media demonstrated their total bias in their coverage. He should have let someone far down on his staff, respond by attacking the Clinton campaign for misusing the hero--even as they completely slandered the mother of one of the brave victims of the Benghazi affair. (And obviously, the two dust-offs need to be linked, when & if discussed from our side.)

The people piling on Trump are missing the point. If it's not Khan it's the plane. If it's not the plane it's Melania. If it's not Melania we'll invent whatever we need to, to carry the narrative that "Trump is imploding."

Then we'll put out the story that "Trump is imploding" and ask everyone what they think about Trump imploding, and report that.

My personal favorite was Obama attacking Trump as being unfit to the President because he continues to be attacked in the press.

The Media/Government Complex is in a full-feedback loop right now, one speaker attacking Trump and the other defending Obama/Hillary. It's full-on Propaganda now.

Exactly. But the MSM is trumping (Hmmmm) up nonsense and Donald is giving them the issues.
Whether true fictitious, whatever, that is what the public is hearing.

Donald is a businessman, deal maker. As such it doesn't matter if the people he's dealing with like him or not, they just want the deal.

Politicians need the folks to like them. At least better than the opponent.
Trump is seen as a bully, erratic, thin-skinned.

Trump needs to stay on the issues, avoid the personal swipes at whoever crosses him.
Personally I think it may be too late.

Of course I'm voting for him.
