Trump did great last night. But it's not over. One more to go. Post your suggestions for how Trump can get an even greater victory at the next debate.
Four themes, two pairs intertwined, hammered over and over, at every opportunity.
1) Democrats, and Hillary first and foremost, want to allow as much ILLEGAL immigration as possible to create a new permanent voting block and do not care one bit how many AMERICANS, lose their jobs, continue to be unable to find work, continue to never get raises, or get raped, beaten, shot or murdered by criminal MS13 gang bangers. Her policy is ILLEGALS first, AMERICANS second, if at all considered.
2) Democrats, and Hillary first and foremost, want MUSLIM refugees pouring in here as a result of her polices in order to “appear’ enlightened, diverse, compassionate. Well look what that got France, Belgium, the UK, Germany, and Sweden. Terrorist attacks and a rape epidemic. Under Trump, AMERICANS come first. These people are the Middle East’s responsibility. It’s way past time the ME cleaned up their own backyard and if they want US support, they better start 1-21-17.
3) Hillary is a liar and as the leaks reveal, she has public and private policies. That is what DC business as usual is all about; taking your money and smothering future generations with debt to enrich the political class, their donors, the banks, Wall street, the multi-national corporations and globalists while telling you the people it’s all about you. Trickle down big government economics does not work. By the time it gets to helping the average American, 90% is gone to the top. Just like the Clinton Foundation.
4) The US Government belongs to the PEOPLE. Policies will put Americans first, PERIOD.
From now on he should just “no comment” anything off topic and keep the spotlight on security, economy, taxes and restoring dignity to government.
He’s made his point about Bill Clinton, that can be left behind now.
The e-mail scandal has some life left in it, perhaps, but frankly I don’t think most voters care about that very much.
It’s now all about getting votes back from Gary Johnson, soft democrats who don’t like Hillary, and people who don’t usually vote. Brainstorm what those people are looking for and if you can incorporate it without abandoning core principles, then do it. He’s got the assembled talent to figure this out.
On Russia, he needs to establish what I think is his true position anyway, he’s not as close to Putin as some have concluded, but he’s just not fixated on a pissing contest with a considerable power who could quite easily be our ally in more important fights than east Ukraine. But the Baltics are not up for grabs. That would set the right tone and signal to Moscow that Trump is not “their guy.”
As to the breathing, that actually works fairly well, he sounds and looks like an angry bull looking to charge at his enemies.
Trump would be well served to speak to his management style he would bring to the White House, emphasizing choosing competent staff, accountability, creativity and compliance with laws / regulations. He can draw such a distinction with Obama and Hilary.
“bitch slap her off the stage”. He could always claim he was just swatting a fly.
Trump did a lot better on not making faces this time out. Making faces detracts from his message.
“...and compliance with laws and regulations...”
And following the dictates of the Constitution.
Advice for Mr. Trump for the 3rd debate - there should be 4 focii:
1. Her (lack of) honesty - Continue to hammer Hillary on the honesty issue. You cannot lose, as EVERYONE knows that if she’s talking, she’s lying (Dems all know it, too - they just don’t care). Hit her again and again and again on this, and you’ll win over many more independents - and even some of the (idiot) Never Trump people who are Republicans.
2. Her corruption - Make reference to the comment that you made near the end of the 2nd debate, about the Clintons’ (new) fortune. Say words to the effect that, “You remember how in the last debate, Hillary, I challenged you and your husband to donate $20 million or $30 million to your own campaign? Well, I’d like to talk about that a bit more - no, not the donation part, but about HOW you and your husband got so wealthy, so fast.” Then talk about the pay-to-play aspects of the incredibly complex web of related entities is, how they hide money everywhere and pay out little of it, and talk about how Hillary sold 20% of our uranium reserves to a company operating out of Russia. Then ask her, “So, WHO made money in Russia, Hillary?” End that particular discussion with a quote from a DEMOCRAT President, Harry Truman: “No man can get rich in politics unless he’s a crook. It cannot be done.” Ask how it is possible for the Clintons to get so wealthy WITHOUT being corrupt.
3. Her ideology - the latest Wikileaks posting mentioned a speech in front of some Brazilian bankers in which she indicated (secretly) that her ideal would be a hemispheric union with completely free flow of capital and OPEN BORDERS. Compare that with her statement that she plans to vet everyone coming into the US. Give some background of her association with Saul Alinsky, a super-radical who wanted to completely undermine and destroy this country, and replace our government with one that is literally Communist. Show her, once again, as an advocate for high taxes, Wall Street bankers, nearly unlimited immigration, etc. In short, show that she is interested in only herself or others besides Americans, whereas you are here to be President of all Americans - ONLY>
4) Your plans - this should be woven into virtually all of your responses, and would be a continuation of what you did so well in the 2nd debate. Talk about how lower taxes, reduced regulations, a lower cost of energy (which is the biggest single cost input in our economy besides labor) through the use of high technology, better trade agreements, etc. will help to make the economy boom. That boom will take care of budget deficits, rebuilding the military, our infrastructure and a whole host of other problems we have. Get growth up to 3.5%/year, and we can handle ANY problem. Then compare and contrast Hillary’s horrible plans - like we need more solar when it only works as designed during perfect weather and if heavily subsidized, or higher taxes, etc. She’ll ruin the economy BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND BUSINESS, whereas you have better and more business experience than literally every President up to and (especially including) the present one. Emphasize that she’s NEVER signed the front of a paycheck, only the back.
Wear a strobe tie. Hillary’s secret service details said flashes set her off.
“Mockery is powerful. A few well-timed jokes about her lies about sniper fire in Bosnia and being named after Edmund Hillary would remind people of her inability to tell the truth about anything”
Fits in perfectly with my first suggestion in Post 67.
“Does Trump have a sinus problem? My wife kept commenting on hearing him breathing.”
Trump should breath a bit through his mouth, or take a decongestant. I know that this is a little thing, but elections can turn on very few votes, and many people will vote for or against someone for some amazingly stupid reasons. Trump has had my vote since about July of 2015, but I want him to get every single one possible.
TRUMP SHOULD SKIP THE NEXT DEBATE.
Nothing to be gained, media will attack non stop with cheap personal questions to Trump.
“Two WRKO Boston hosts this AM said they felt Trump’s “pacing” and “body language” during debate II was counterproductive, rude, vaguely threatening to Clinton.
Disagree! Trump’s mannerisms, pacing and impatient demeanor is EXACTLY what the country feels and WAS 100% NEEDED.
It said: “I’m angry that this felon and law breaker continues with a Presidential campaign.”
His Body Language & PACING ON STAGE WERE EXACTLY APPROPRIATE!!!!!!”
I don’t know if he did that purposely, but it didn’t look like it, it looked natural. Either way, it painted yet another contrast between them, with him coming out on the better end of the equation.
Have Kudlow and his peers/colleges develop the questions. That would be fun to watch.

“Since Clinton has shot her proverbial wad and has nothing left to accuse Trump with,”
I don’t even put a complete fabrication of such an event beyond the Clintons. They could find someone he’s never seen and Photoshop a picture (and certainly they can afford someone good enough to escape it being easily detected), and there’s your “evidence.”
That’s what could happen, and what she’d likely say if it did. Trump needs to be prepared for that...and the fallout in the Republican Party.
Cooper pushed that point.....for a specific reason. There is much more to come.
“Cooper pushed that point.....for a specific reason. There is much more to come.”
BILL Clinton pardoned 16 Puerto Rican FARC terrorists...
On Hillary's behalf, of course, but be specific so they can't accuse us of lying.
Haiti, Bengazhi, Clinton’s late 90’s push for exploratory tours of Cuba by American businessmen, Hillary’s $700K tax deduction 2015, underwear gate, How Whitewater files disappearing/reappearing are consistent behavior with Hillary’s emails disappearing/reappearing - consistent deception is who Hillary is. Address Hillary’s claims that he’s said bad things about African-Americans, disabled, etc. and defeat them once and for all. Emphasize that ‘some illegals are criminals and rapists’ doesn’t mean ALL Hispanics. Importance of conservative Supremes - that contrary to what Hillary said last night, they aren’t bought and paid for by who has the most money. More detail about creating jobs - Non-union infrastructure jobs for unemployed inner city? Racial social and sexual division fomented by Hillary, violence towards his supporters and towards police by Hillary’s “words”. English as the official language. Illegal immigrants - Enforcement of e-verify. Enforcement of visas. Law and Order - peaceful demonstrations versus anarchist riots.
