Groups Trump needs to focus on to regain momentum.

Posted on 10/12/2016 3:53:58 PM PDT by MagillaX

From polling analysis I have heard lately it would seem that the sexual tape coup attempt had a significant negative effect on two groups. People 60+ years of age and black support for Trump dropped. The 60+ group is understandable since they would be the ones most likely to be watching main stream media. The loss with blacks I am not sure other then maybe inroads with some church groups dropped and they fell back into old voting routines.

It would appear most millennial's get their news from friends and online sources and seem to be less affected by over the air media. Women and Hispanics also did not seem to be moved as much from the news. Middle age men support did drop some but it should not be difficult to regain their support.

I think if Trump pushed the new Wiki revelations on Hillary wanting to raise the minimum age for Social Security. As well as helping only those Haitians who were friends of Bill he could pick ups some ground with this group. But he is spot on at the moment focusing on the Catholic bias news from the Hillary campaign since it impacts all the voting groups.

He needs to beat the Catholic thing relentlessly. It should get him more Hispanic.

I think Trump should start doing some photo ops with his grandchildren, and children at home in a casual family setting. I honestly believe that would be a game changer with women.

You might have something there. Not sure. I don’t think Trump is looking for help on what to do. Trump’s winning or losing is based on what he says and does. This is his show.

I don’t believe it. If we know the FBI and DOJ is “with her” if it’s been proven the media is colluding with the Clinton campaign, why in the hell would I believe the polls? They’re commissioned by the crooked media, liberal universities, or the Hillary campaign.

I’m in the 60+ group and, believe me, we’re not shocked.

I can certainly understand why support among middle age men would drop, because middle age men certainly have never heard anyone talk like that before.

I’m sure that most of the “drop” was just people saying that to pollsters, but isn’t real.

Bring Bubba’s “son” to the next debate and the aunt who can testify to $700/month per AR State Trooper. Sit them with Gov. Huckabee.

I do not know how the tape could reduce support in the over 60 crowd.

I am 66. All of us probably age 60 to 70 were teenagers and likely went to college during the days of rock festivals, rock and roll and basically interacted at least sometimes with the hippie movement.

So if those older than 60 can be influenced by this silly recording then they have had their heads in the sand for more than 40 years.

We never lost momentum except in the newsroom dope dreams. Our enthusiasm is sky high.

for 60+. Hillary is going to reduce social security and medicare , as mentioned in Wikileaks.

I think people will still vote Trump, but they will not say. Hillary is not likable.

Photo ops? In Florida, every other ad seems to be a Hillary ad. Now, shes running a slew of “I used to always vote Republican” ads.” What’s Trump waiting for? Is he out of cash?

At his very enthusiastic rally in Raleigh tonight Pence made several references to wikileak information and said “expect more tonight”. He is such a wonderful patriot and full force behind Trump.

He said he was a bit late because he stopped for dinner and Tim Kaine called 5 times and interrupted him. Asked us to all pray and never give up to media lies.

I am in the over 70 group, and reference to Vagina has been as common as December snow in Minnesota in men’s groups since the 1960’s when I was in college, except men called it the C-word (rhymes with Punt).

I’m in the 60+ group too, soon to be 61, former sailor and lifelong hippie, guitar player, bookworm. Trump’s comments on the tape barely raised an eyebrow, didn’t change my long standing decision to vote Trump one iota.

Dear Washington,

America is coming,

and they’re bringing Donald J Trump.
