Trump’s Immigration Speech - Persuasion Score
Dilbert.com ^ | 9/1/2016 | Scott Adams

Posted on 09/01/2016 8:11:12 AM PDT by GilGil

And that’s how a Master Persuader runs in two directions at the same time. It was masterfully done. I give Trump’s speech an A+ for persuasion. Trump won the week. His poll numbers should move up again next week.

Also, Trump stuck the landing by engineering what I call the reverse-Khan. He surrounded himself with the families of victims of illegal immigrants so that any criticism of his policies will feel uncomfortably close to insulting those grieving families.

When Trump was giving his speech in Arizona, I went to every cable and network news web site to see that they all had live links to his speech. The same was true on the TV. How much free media did Trump get yesterday for his speech? $20 million? Hillary cannot compete against this especially if her health is collapsing along with her poll numbers!

Watched Trumps son interviewed by MacCallum on TV. I swear, that young man is even smarter than The Donald.

Trump runs rings media rings around old-school retreads like Clinton because he is not a politcian. He is a showman.

Reagan did the same thing in his own way. The public personnae of Trump and Reagan are quite different. But the method is the same.

OUR next POTUS hit it out of the park yesterday in Mexico and last night in his Immigration Speech...he said he would stand up for us, he would never bend, and he would win, and that is what he is doing...

You will work his way to Make America Great Again or you won’t be anywhere around him...you will pass laws to Make America Great Again or you will be replaced in the next House and Senate re election, this is what these ‘spineless sissies’ in our government have to look ahead to...

“YOUR EITHER WITH US, OR YOUR AGAINST US” “YOU WILL HELP MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” or your not part of us...

A few weeks ago, when we were told that his campaign was imploding, Trump said he would punch through the media. I think we are seeing that plan in action now.

Donald Jr is a bit sharper than Eric, in my opinion. He was the son interviewed,

Didn't seem to matter to the Twitter psychotics. 'Hate rally' etc.

Take a look at the Trump crowd from last night’s immigration speech:

The political class and the MSM would be wise to watch this over and over and understand that Donald Trump has awakened “the sleeping Giant” meaning We The People are wake and big time pissed.

Conway et al are not dumb.

They know that idle hands are the devil’s plaything and that Trump offstage or offscreen simply gives the press more time to ask their moronic rhetorical questions and hold a microphone up to the DC simps and their reverberation chamber.

The media are among the laziest beings on the planet so repeating cocktail party tittle tattle is all they really have to do until and unless there is footage, action, activity, etc. They can’t help themselves but air it even if they attempt to undermine the message (see also: Reagan).

Ironically, Sick Hillary is starving them of what they want on the Dem side. They are bored to tears of interviewing Lanny Davis or Robby Mook telling us what a cretin Trump is and how wonderful Hillaryland will be, as if we hadn’t experienced it for ourselves the last 25 years. A mouthpiece’s claim means nothing especially after he repeats it 100 times.

In short, not only is Team Trump using the media better now but Hillary and her 18-hour naps cannot.

Eric was on the radio with Hannity. I like Eric. Eric is very intelligent, a real gentleman, and very involved with charity work. Don, Jr. is a slightly better speaker, handsome, very smart. He could one day achieve high office, if he felt led that direction.

“Donald Jr is a bit sharper than Eric, in my opinion. He was the son interviewed.”

I am impressed with ALL of the Trump children.
Even the daughter he had with Marla.
The Trump DNA seems to transfer very well.

See America.
This is what you get when you hold your children to high standards and are involved in their lives even when they reach adulthood

Lot of yip-yip-yapping in these parts about Crooked Hillary outspending our Donald Trump with regard to “television ads” but Donald’s speech last night was worth about $100,000,000 in TV ads.

That’s $100m.
