Isn’t it great when MSNBC advises Trump on how to run his campaign?

Surely football coaches love advice from the opposing team, too!

This Democrat campaign worker at MSNBC is saying Trump is destroying his election chances by campaigning in big blue states. He says he is wasting his time.

Trump’s new campaign strategy is as incoherent as his rally speeches

Why has Trump gone the baffling route of touring blue states in the home stretch of the election season?

With less than a month until the election, every hour of every day matters for a presidential candidate. Presidential campaigns are forced to make excruciating decisions about which battleground states to put most of their time, money and energy into as they seek decisive edges over their opponents.

That’s what makes former President Donald Trump’s decision to campaign in a number of blue states in these final weeks baffling. Trump is doing events in Colorado, California, Illinois and New York — states that are virtually impossible for him to win. “President Joe Biden won those states by an average of 20 points in 2020, with his 13-point Colorado win the closest,” NBC News reports. “And Colorado is the only one of those states to have voted for a Republican presidential nominee this millennium, backing George W. Bush in 2004.”

I think the strategy is perfect. He is trying to pick up swaths of votes from states who are run by Democrats who are destroying their states with big government policies.

He is making a great effort to win the popular vote so it is harder for Democrats to cheat. If he wins the popular vote along with the electoral vote, Democrats can stop their whining about how unfair the Electoral College is.

There may be congressional races where Trump can help the Republican candidate too. That is not a waste of time.

If they really thought he was wasting his time in blue states, why would they say so?

Exactly.

Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia.

If he can get 25% of the African American vote... pick up Arab votes.

Have to get at least an extra few hundred thousand votes though in each state to get beyond the steal-level numbers.

This from the same cable channel that lamented the fact that DJT wasn’t killed.

Be President of all American.. Also, only talk to Americans in red and Purple states. Also, if you don’t win the popular vote you’re not a legitimate President. These people are so dishonest it’s sickening!

The places he is going will all make national news. No one is going to ignore his MSG rally. That will give him a news cycle and it frames him as a candidate. I have no issues here.

To win he needs to pick up a few “blue” states where they haven’t prepared to steal.

They know it too, which is why this disturbs them.

Of course, they’re giving him flak because he’s over the target.

He’s forcing THEM to refocus on blue State’s leaving them thin on swing State’s.

It makes complete sense. It’s also the usual arrogance and hubris shown by the left, they assume everyone is else is stupid and can influence those making these decisions. The opposite is true, they now know it is working.

When I am in a public park and enter one of the port-a-potties, what I see floating in the bottom (if I’m stupid enough to look)… is MSNBC

MSNBC jerks have discovered a new way to lie... offer advice they know is bad and pretend it’s sincere. Will these jerkoffs ever reach bottom?

Hey MSNBC, your ratings will go up if you support Trump more... or ‘any at all’ ....

Trump is trying for an Unforced Error on Kamala's part.

In invading her sacred cow's territory, he's hoping for her to rush in and protect her cows. Or at least to fire off a a few broadsides in defense of her sacred herd.

Should she do so, she would be breaking momentum just before the election and have stolen the valuable press cycles with the current batch of fawning, so called, reporters.

Notice he is also trying for the same saying he is ready for a Fox News debate with just questions only from the audience at that time. Since she just had an interview with Bret on Fox news, thus she now is expected to do so since she and her man toy had their debates on CNN and ABC.

If she doesn't she is seen as unfair, if she does she losses those precious fawning cycles. Brilliant!!

But Thirdly, Trump has injected a new problem for her, and that is her sexuality with Willie Brown. Oh, he has not invoked that name yet, but he knows her Achilles heel.

True, she can bring up Stormy Daniel's, but something studiously avoided by the press is not something she is ready for, since Willie had his recent interview about his relationship with her.

Willie tried to reframe it to have been a 'girlfriend' relationship but admitted giving her an expensive car and help towards her career? What man does that while trying to get his marriage back together, at that time, without a major reason?? As it smacks of buying Kamala off and her taking it.

Folks, like those at CNN and MSNBC like to think he is dumb when Trump is as Wiley as a Fox!

Exactly. Swing congressional seats in blue states need nailing down.

PS: The first question is rhetorical.
