Trump plans major campaign changes amid GOP intervention buzz, Giuliani says

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump will soon undertake another significant shift in the tone and staffing of his White House campaign, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani said.

The changes come amidst rumors that Republican leaders are mounting an "intervention" in an attempt to have Trump to accept professional political advice and embrace a less confrontational campaign style amidst flagging poll numbers and low morale in the party.

Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, who has close ties to Trump and is a top advisor on terrorism and national security issues, rejected the description of the shift as the result of an "intervention," as reported by NBC News.

"I wouldn't use the word 'intervention,' because its a word to describe what's done for drug addicts and alcoholics, and Trump is neither of those two things," Giuliani told NJ Advance Media Wednesday evening.

"But I think you're going to see Donald Trump campaigning in a somewhat different way going forward — an evolution that will focus much more on the positive than the negative."

-- I don't think he needs to change much. --

He'll change, but it will be a natural change and it won't be sudden. In hindsight, looking back a few months, it will be a remarkable change in presentation.

Trump's public/rally presentation is a self-created caricature. He will slowly drop that, and the public will start to see more of how he deals with issues and conflict when he is in charge. The caricature is to get people to put him in charge. Before the election, he will be acting as if he is in charge.

"The debates will push the reset button."

The debates will be handled by the media the same way as the Khan thing.

Add the media/Clinton collusion on questions and answers and it could be another very serious issue.

Trump needs to control who the moderators are and refuse to participate in the ambushes.

It is always good when the opponent's voters refrain from voting, as every vote (or non) counts.

However, a wide kickass margin is gonna need fresh blood.

Low morale?

Low morale among the GOPe, media and Hillary staffers because they know he has the energetic support behind him and they have nothing, zip, zero, nada.

So this is the kind of drivel you must pay lip service to when you want an interview with the Libtard Press!

Soon this should be called “Giving them the MONICA!!!”

Clean house of the concern trolls? That is a good way to lose an election.

Trump is killing himself by not making the change. He acts like it’s not serious business sometimes and Americans don’t like what they see.

Campaign like Romney... lose like Romney. Democrats and Cruz globalists want Trump to not be Trump so they pretend through lying polls and media memes that being himself is killing himself.

The opposition never... ever... but ever tells you what you should really do. What the gaslight polls and media stories are really saying is that Tump being Trump is killing them and they are scared.

Yesterday was a two a day, day. Jax and Daytona Beach. More outside than the house capacity crowd inside. But don’t let that color the media’s meme that Trump’s supporters are demoralized. BTW...has Hillary topped 100 yet at one of her ‘rallies’?

The other overlooked aspect is that these events on you tube had over 20,000 viewers on you tube. So whatever the attendance is, add 20,000 additional people in the audience.

If Trump cavers into the establishment globalist hacks he’s through. Whatever the talking heads tell you to do, do the opposite.

True. I heard some pundit the other day talking about a huge rural groups of non voters in states like VA that might come out for Trump in a way they never would for Romney or McCain. We shall see.

He needs to not get caught, but he shouldn’t change his tone.

That is the last thing he needs to do...

absolutely that’s the last thing he should do...if he wants to be seen as completely petty, childish, and boorish, then by all means he should bring up the Khans again, following some national tragedy...

Trump got caught with his pants down by this scurrilous Khan character, and the sooner he distances himself the better...

Yeah, Trump is so unlike all the last bunch of really good presidents like Clinton, both Bushes, Carter, and of course 0bola. Now they were presidential!

Trump needs to get with the presidential program like them!


Yeah, nothing says “Presidential” like sex in the Oral Office.

Trump also needs to reverse himself on the border, on trade well on everything to make the GOPe happy. Tell them it was all a ruse he just wants to be President ‘cause the plane has a cooler paint job. /sarc

Very wise advice, Irish. Absoluely. To continue this will do nothing but hurt the campaign.
