I think MAGA is a powerful product, but in 2020 — and Trump knows this — He’ll have to have MAGA++ to drive the point home. What form that will take I don’t know, but Trump knows that branding has to be refreshed and oriented based on the audience.
There's a curtain on the voting booth. Do you really think they're going to admit to you what they do behind it?
The best solution is to put minus signs after the concept of election fraud.
Meaning prosecute it to the fullest.
I forgot to mention that a lot of these women are REPUBLICANS.
Appeal.
What appeals to the voter?
What appeals to the young voter it not the same that appeals to the middle aged voter or senior voter.
One of Hillary’s major problems in 2016 was her running her campaign in 1992 mode. The 1992 mode had little appeal. She still managed to get just over half of the votes, however.
Republicans have always had an ‘appeal’ problem. They were perceived as the party of big business. Democrats ‘appeal’ was the party of the common man/little people/etc.
For decades, we have been yelling for the Republicans to seek professional marketing advice.

Correct. Today the appeal MUST be to the heart.
You make a tremendous point with Cankles, who proves this! She did not appeal to anyone’s heart. Trump did. Yes, many hated him but he appealed to the heart through MAGA.
The NEXT KEY MUST BE THE “WHY!?” Why MAGA?
Here is the answer: “Because a great America is a good America.”
That is why Reagan was so popular. He could do that and he backed it up with action.
You make a good point about the emotional women’s vote.
But if they didn’t have fraud to add to that vote, they wouldn’t be winning.
I think there is a lot more to say on this, but if we continue to blame fraud, voting machines, public schools, or whatever-—even if some is true-—we will lose elections because so far the 21st century is all about the heart.

Powerful, true statement.
BINGO.
Story about Reagan from my book “Reagan: The American President.” He would make anyone feel like that person was the only one in the room. (Clinton did the same thing).
Then Reagan would forget the guy’s name and have to be reminded sometime the next day-—but it wouldn’t matter! He still would make the person feel special.
Obama NEVER did that. Obama’s sole appeal was “first black president.”
Money in their pocket empowers them to make a difference, because they aren’t fighting for their lives, and because it empowers them in a way that’s measurable.
Huge observation. My kids now see the connection between politics and their situation, but I’m conservative. Their friends have HAD IT with feminism.
They aren’t connecting feminism with liberalism the way they should be.
That’s another thing.
Exactly. Gillum makes her feel good. This is gonna be key in the next two years.
Too often we “sell” money/jobs as an end in itself. That has to change.
And I’m sure your stance will be backed by such demographic horrors as incels, misogynists, Moslems and the alt-Right. No thanks. (And I’m a dude.)
Democrats importing hundreds of thousand of illegals into Texas then making them citizens or just ‘letting them vote anyway’ helped the guy a lot more than just getting the ‘woman vote’. Look at the BLUE areas in Texas and their along he border where illegals have moved in... Same with Tampa in Florida and places in California. Place enough illegals in and they’ll vote democrat.
He gave her hope.
