Donald Trump’s New Attack Strategy: Curb Clinton Vote

WSJ ^ | 10/11/2016 | Monica Langley

Donald Trump, faced with opposition inside and outside his party, plans to renew the nationalist themes that built his base and amplify his no-holds-barred attacks against Hillary Clinton to try to depress Democratic voter turnout, his advisers said.

Following the release of a tape-recording of his lewd comments about women and several high-profile Republican defections over the weekend, Mr. Trump has effectively given up the conventional wisdom of trying to reach voters far outside his core of support, one high-level Republican supporter said.

They have NO defense, other than complete denial - in which case you call them "Good Germans"... :)

Team Trump has a VERY reasonable GOP number that it must hit.

Likewise, it has a number on Cankles that she cannot go over.

I think both of these are eminently doable. My only question is how many of the Cankles voters will vote Trump vs. just stay home? I think it will be far larger than RINOs who vote Cankles.

So why would the campaign state their strategy to the world?

Monica?

Close, but no cigar.
