Trump needs to chill a bit. Have thicker skin.
This is a common MSM fraud media move:
1. Get photo of nut in audience
2. Get photo of candidate you don’t like with their mouth open - which makes everyone look terrible.
3. Show empty space in stadium or room or whatever.
Creates the spin the campaign lacks momentum.
Meanwhile, for Obama’s 2008 media love fest the crowds were amazing, women were fainting, the oceans were healing...
Just don;t use the F word... Otherwise I don’t blame him they look like they did surge the podium, As to the Sen Scott event, They showed an empty row of seats in the very back. It was clear they kept those empty so the cameras behind would have an unobstructed view.
“Trump “doesn’t seem to grasp that candidates telling journalists what to ask is not how the media works in this country.””
Tell Hillary Linton that and her media minions.
The thing about Trump is that he’s not just going to accept that the MSM commits fraud and publicizes propaganda. Why should he? It’s gotten to the point that we suffer from battered wife syndrome and believe that any candidate should accept it as par for the course. A candidate who can successfully maneuver through that MSM minefield with a deft touch. That’s what we are asking and that’s what we seek. About as likely as unicorns.
So it’s either travel through the maze of MSM propaganda and emerge unscathed just enough to possibly win an election. Or burn the whole thing down. I’m in favor of the latter.
Trump strategy is to stay everyday in news cycle, because there is a big gap from now till first primary poll. He is stealing rest of field time on TV and news.
Politico.
If it’s the event that I’m thinking of, TRUMP had a couple hours before he next event, so they asked him to speak. He was humble that the amount of people showed up on short notice. This wasn’t a campaign (scheduled) stop. Extra time that he was using to the fullest.
Well that’s what’s endearing about Trump: He rails against any MSM fraud move against him, instead of being silent like GWB in the face of withering attacks. But I don’t see why Trump overreacted by saying, “I just got killed on that thing”.
I don’t think it’s gonna harm him as badly as he claims.
A lot of weird paraphrasing, quote snippets, and cherry soundbite cherry picking going on here. Hard to tell who said what. But then again this is Polutico so Trump will be cast in the worst light possible. I get it.
Meanwhile Hillary can’t fill anything and yet the press protects her.
Trump needs to lighten up - they are getting to him. And now he’s made the crowd size a big issue. We can expect more shots of uncrowded rooms. This could spiral.
Tell Hillary Linton that and her media minions.
I used to wonder why Trump won't just pony up and buy his own media company to give him the press coverage he wants.
But considering all the free press he's getting now, it shows why he's a multibillionaire and why I (on the other hand) can't afford to contribute to the FReepathons.
Thanks for saying what I was going to say. Trump has the media on notice that their biased, and often juvenile, “coverage” isn’t going to be accepted this time around.
For that alone, Trump should have every Republican candidate thanking him.
Enough said
Hoping that Sessions or another person close to Trump clues him in that if he calms down a bit, he can start looking like the person with class in the face of the inevitable underhanded attacks.
Every attack picture that goes out, Trump can put out an ad with two pictures (he has his own photogs, right?) with the respective titles “Illusion” and “Truth.”
Storming at it at least is better than saying nothing... but I think he could leverage these attacks to produce a counterattack and look classy.
It could be. The article implies this happened at the end of one event prior to another event.
The chairs were only empty, he explained, because the crowd had surged forward to surround him.
“I was speaking from the podium. Everybody was wrapped around the podium. If they hadn’t done that, there wouldn’t have been an empty seat,” he told the Daily Mail. “’I’ve never made a speech where there were so many people wrapped around the podium in the front. That’s what happened.”
Eat that, “The Most Connected Man in Washington”, Mr. Jamie Dupree. The room not half empty like you said on the Sean Hannity Radio Show. Trump still draws. Next time do your homework.
