Peter Heck of Kokomo Indiana, was quoted by Rush on his show at 2:10 PM today 6/7/2020 ---- Opinion: President Trump can win in 2020 by doing this 1 thing by Peter Heck · Jul 6th, 2020 4:44 pm 35 Last Updated Jul 7th, 2020 at 1:43 pm
Everyone seems to be ready to write President Donald Trump's electoral epitaph. Not that I blame them, given the current chaotic state of the country. Race riots have crippled our cities, a global pandemic lingers and has become dangerously politicized, the once roaring economy has been intentionally, even if necessarily, stifled, and there isn't a single individual at any mainstream press organization that believes Trump is ever worthy of receiving the benefit of the doubt.
And while it's true that the polls proved to be spectacularly wrong in the 2016 election, the current numbers are far more convincing for the Democrats than they ever were for Hillary.
But it's not over. The president's speech at Mount Rushmore convinced me of that. After seeing it, despite all of his shortcomings, I honestly think there is one thing that President Trump could do that would guarantee his re-election. One thing that would completely change the narrative of a frenzied and overmatched provocateur fiddling while his country burns.
That one thing? Focus like a laser on being the only thing standing between America and the leftist revolution.
Forget insulting Joe Biden over his lack of mental fitness. People can see for themselves and don't like elder abuse.
Forget defensively chiding and reacting to those who criticize the country's COVID response. Monday morning quarterbacks annoy more people than they persuade.
Forget bragging about the economy pre-coronavirus. That was then.
What the majority of people are about is their ability to live safe, undisturbed, and profitable lives. They like this country and want the stability and security it has always afforded them.
Believing their own riot-fomenting media allies, the Democrat Party has dreadfully overplayed its hand in recent weeks. Maybe it's more a matter of having created a Frankenstein and now not being able to control it. You certainly get that impression when you watch Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer uncomfortably don Kente cloth for a photo op before totally butchering George Floyd's name in floor speeches.
The brakes have come off on the left, and the train they are beckoning America to climb into is hurtling towards a cliff unable to stop its dizzying momentum. Robert E. Lee statues must go, then Abe Lincoln monuments, then one of the country's most beloved, enduring landmarks, Mount Rushmore itself.
Being ideologically paralyzed to the point that you can't defend memorials to Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, or even Teddy Roosevelt, the founder of modern progressivism, is bad enough, but it's only the beginning.
Democrats in Congress have proven they are unwilling to even join a non-binding resolution condemning mob violence as destructive and un-American.
The political left has made the catastrophic error of believing America is like the Twitter mob. They aren't.
All President Trump has to do is make the 2020 election about this. All he has to do is run ads demonstrating the lawlessness that is ruining lives, families, communities, and cities, and then ask his opponent if he condemns it.
All President Trump has to do is run videos of white Black Lives Matter radicals screaming the "n-word" in the face of black police officers who stand resolute and dignified in the face of the hate, and then ask his opponent if he condemns it.
All President Trump has to do is ask his opponent if he believes defunding the police is a wise idea or one that would lead to the loss of a disproportionately large number of black citizens' lives.
All President Trump has to do is tick off the names Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and ask his opponent to condemn those who would deface, desecrate, and destroy their memorials.
All President Trump has to do is make this election about the unfolding leftist revolution. Pelosi and Schumer can no longer pretend to control it and Joe Biden will be even less capable than them. All it requires is discipline and focus.
In short, Trump must embody the very essence Fox host Tucker Carlson laid out in the most prescient moment on cable news in some time.
Trump has the bully pulpit to do this. But does he have the discipline? We'll know in November. > https://disrn.com/opinion/opinion-president-trump-can-win-by-doing-this-one-thing
Sounds like the click bait come ons.
Just doing this one thing will cure diabetes etc...
They’re already running ‘defunding the police’ ads so we’ll see how that does.
Will increase your girth and stamina.
Lol. I know. It’s always this one thing, this one trick.
“Sounds like the click bait come ons. Just doing this one thing will cure diabetes etc.”

Heh - it does read like a clickbait pseudo-ad. But the guy’s right. If Trump can’t make the linkage of the Dems/Dem platform and all the violence & insanity, he’s gonna have a problem.
Don’t think think it’s the “one thing” that do it, though - that “one thing” would be having a vaccine ready to go before the election.
Focus like a laser on reopening, shutting down the governors behind the shut-down, and getting people back to normal life.
The reason all these states are shutting down again is to declare that there’s unemployment once again and force Trump to approve another 3 months of fat unemployment benefits, which prevents people from going back to work and also is the lead-in to the “universal basic income” that the Dems want so much.
People are dying (by suicide and general despair) and Trump has got to give us hope by declaring this faux “pandemic” to be over, say what he said first - “wash your hands” - and let people get back to living.
Otherwise, talking about America means nothing. It means nothing to people who aren’t being allowed to go to church, to sing, to go to movies or the gym, to eat in restaurants, to travel freely...he’s got to just reopen.
Governors and mayors who don’t go along get no federal aid of any kind. There’s a lot of ways to enforce this.
I’m still waiting for pounds to melt and wrinkles to disappear.

I hope Trump is shrewd enough to produce a Willie Horton ad - or several - because the GOP won't go there.
I think he’s on the right track. The issue in this election is the survival of the American way of life. Trump should focus like a laser on this as the crisis it is, as this fellow has perceptively described.
Sounds like a Heck of a speaker.
“What the majority of people are about is their ability to live safe, undisturbed, and profitable lives. They like this country and want the stability and security it has always afforded them.”

I agree with that first sentence.
That is why I said that the dems are gambling very very high stakes on this covert subversion plan, because the big risk is that they will lose the suburban educated white women who turned for them in 2018, who mostly felt safe to virtue signal against Trump, and probably still do despite what the nightly news is trying to hide from them.
I disagree with the essence of the second sentence though, and it’s the reason that the dem subversive plan might just work. Those suburban educated women have been so highly trained to buy into the concept that something is inherently wrong or unfair with our country that I wouldn’t assume you can override it with the reality of a culture bent on violence. They’re still insulated.

Focus like a laser on confessing you’ve been lying to the American public, it was all just a hoax? Sound like a winning strategy to me!
The DNC meets the definitions of Sponsor of terrorism.
He should declare a Antifa Terrorist org. He has yet to do so.
Use the Military to quell the terror.
Or he will lose the indies.
If he just takes out these little, tiny ads
Just push for making SSI income tax free. Allow millionaire IRA holders to withdraw $100k one time tax free.

Yup. The only people who are fond of the psychotic level ongoing violence and wanton destruction are the extreme left. Everyone else, not so much.
Trump has to learn to pin it all on the Dems.
