I've had some time to think about these debates, and a few thoughts I think people aren't talking about (enough)..
After the debates I'm seeing a lot of furled brows and shrugged shoulders here and everywhere I go (In the right wing). I would like to offer some words:
Trump is a better debater than Hillary is. You don't get to where he is without being good at this. Without winning. Winning arguments, winning negotiations and being alpha male. When the debates began, Trump stopped in front of his podium and made HER walk to HIM. This is a powerplay that he eludes to (Although not with podiums) in his book, The Art of the Deal. He started off with her on a leash.
5 minutes into it, she loses her freakin mind. Yes, Hillary has debated more politicians than he has - but she has only debated OTHER democrats. And those democrats know, as Bernie Sanders does now, that if they cross her she will literally pull them into a broom closet during the commercial and work them over with a pipe. She has NEVER debated an actual opponent from another faction. She has only debated other dems for power within the democrat party.
Donald Trump has a cold. And likely a sore throat. He will never talk about this because it will only come off as petty and childish. He will even deny it. The man has a cold or something.
Allow me to get to the real core of this vanity post. We must now do our part to help out, and control the conversation whenever and wherever we can. I recommend pointing out the obvious irrefutable truth.
Donald Trump has been involved in some of the biggest real estate transactions in history. In Manhattan, in Chicago, in foreign countries. Donald Trump has NEVER been part of an investigation in corruption. He's never even been fingered for it.
Hillary can't make it to lunch without being investigated.
That is the truth.
America needs us now. I'm all in.
I'm also in the eastern time zone, so I'm going to bed. If I don't respond to you guys tonight - I will in the morning. Have a good one, God bless, stay strong and preserve the Republic.
Hopefully Kellyanne Conaway and that guy from Breitbart will set him down and go over this debate with him and show him every time he left opportunities laying on the floor.
Considering this is his first time in the big leagues of politics, he didn’t do too badly.
He was himself and that goes a long way.
The contrast between himself and Pickles was strong.
He showed a strong businessman who doesn’t back down from a fight, who talks TO the everyday person.
Pickles showed herself as a polished politician.
So polished that she uttered only focus group approved empty talking points and talks AT the everyday person.
We’ve had eight years of a polished pol who accomplishes nothing.
America wants a fighter.
That fighter is Donald Trump.
haha people don’t understand about persuasion if they think Trump did not dominate tonight..
What's that?
Probably means, “alludes”. ???
“She hates being mocked. Mock her until you lose your voice.”
Yes! Ridiculing the enemy is one of Alinsky’s main points. It works. Ridicule. Mock. Point and laugh. Whatever.
Anyhow... good observations in your post. Some subtle optics there on the stage that you noticed.
Not a muumuu. Those pants when the cameras shot from behind before the debate began... just OY!
Excellent observations. I see you noticed the first power play same as I did...
<><>When the debates began, Trump stopped in front of his podium and made HER walk to HIM. This is a powerplay that he eludes to (Although not with podiums) in his book, The Art of the Deal. He started off with her on a leash. <><>
Check the picture of him shaking hands with Netanyahu. Same thing. Huge smiles, and genuine not fake ones, they both were obviously pleased to meet, but Trump had the power stance. It looks like he’s pulling Bibi’s hand in.
I thought Trump did pretty well, probably won’t be seen as winning it, mainly because Hillary and Holt tag teamed all night to keep him on the defensive.
He did well enough, but I was surprised how many times he left great openings hanging there. Off his game I think, probably because he was under the weather, and was being kept on the defensive as much as possible. Nobody does his best under those conditions.
I agree with all your points, Trump has been warming up for the oval office for a good while, and has had a couple of excellent meetings with foreign dignitaries before the election is even a month away. He had a rough night last night, and still did very well. I expected him to hit her harder, and didn’t expect Hillary to come across as energetic as she did.
He did make a couple of excellent points. She has had 30 years and done nothing. He probably got a lot of attention for hammering her on that one point several times, using different terminology. He also tried to counter her lies, but not as well as he could have in my opinion.
<><>I only think that a Hillary win will be through fraud. I’m convinced that’s the only way that her (OR anyone in her evil, despicable party) can win anything.<><>
Very true and my greatest fear. She has been a liar and fraud for over 40 years, and I have no doubt she will cheat as much as possible to win. Bill and Hillary both will do absolutely ANYTHING for more power. Lie, cheat, swindle, fraud, and I don’t hesitate to add...kill.
Trump MUST be our next president. He’s been acting as at least a diplomat for a long time, and doing it more effectively than Hillary ever has. Just the fact that he’s been able to get as much of his own party to join in as he has, tells us of his potential.
A couple of things you didn’t point out.
We’ve had politicians in the white house for 50 years who have made millions for themselves and let the government go broke. We need Trump’s business and financial sense now more than ever. I’ve been calling for that for 20 years. He is not one to spend more than he makes. We need that.
He is too rich to be bought. If that were possible, he would have dropped out long ago. That’s what terrifies everyone in DC. He can’t be bought, he can’t be controlled. They are accustomed to someone who is a puppet of the same small group of globalists who want to implement a world socialist government. A puppet he ain’t.
He has the backbone to stand up against the status quo politicians. Nobody in at least 50 years has had that. I think when LBJ took over our government really started going seriously downhill. Since then, every president has gotten richer, while leaving the government deeper in debt. It’s out of hand now, Obama has run up more debt than every other president combined.
He actually listens to us, the people of this country. He’s been doing that for a long time too. It’s been a known fact for years that he doesn’t rule his empire from afar, he goes to the jobs and talks to the workers. Bricklayers, concrete guys, carpenters etc. Asks questions, finds out how to do the job better and listens to what they say. He has his finger on our pulse and has for a long time.
I see his detractors on TV saying the same old lines, the same talking points. His economic plan will blow up the economy...really? Only if you ignore most of it and only think about tax cuts for the rich. Once you add in tax cuts across the board, limited write offs, loopholes and tax shelters, more sensible spending...it starts to look a whole lot better. Then have NATO countries carry their own weight, more evenly balanced trade deals, we might actually come out ahead.
Dear Washington,
America is coming,
and they’re bringing Donald J Trump.
Got some kind of ‘ludes there.
Here in the 5 Boros of Confusion some do like Hillary
