Trump doesn’t seem to be concentrating on House seats these days. He should at least tweet his support.

That's a great point. I have been wondering why he doesn't do more national addresses like Reagan did to speak directly to the people.

And the press is beginning to whine about that too.

I think the reason may be that to do a televised speech, he has to ask for airtime. The networks used to generally give it, but they don't always. He does not want to put himself in a position of having to ask anyone for anything.

And maybe he doesn't do it because he knows it drives the press and libs crazy. for that reason alone I love that he doesn't do televised speeches. Of course, I'm sorry for those who don't have internet or don't know how to watch online. That is a valid concern.

We could all volunteer to hold a teaching session at our local libraries to show all the blue hairs how to do it?...Nah, the libraries are too lib, they wouldn't let us do it if they knew it was to help Trump connect with the people. But, in a perfect world..

I was wondering the same thing. But when I read your post the thought popped into my head that so few people watch network TV it wouldn’t reach his target audience and also that it would be subject to the ‘commentary’ instantly shredding his points. So that what he’s doing with youtube videos and tweets is actually more direct. Just my thoughts.
