Dan Bishop was down 17 points 3 weeks ago. He then asked me for help, we changed his strategy together, and he ran a great race. Big Rally last night. Now it looks like he is going to win. @CNN & @MSNBC are moving their big studio equipment and talent out. Stay tuned!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 11, 2019

“Dan Bishop was down 17 points 3 weeks ago. He then asked me for help, we changed his strategy together, and he ran a great race. Big Rally last night. Now it looks like he is going to win.”
I listened to Bishop at the Trump rally Monday evening, and basically listened to him unabashedly position himself as a Trump mini-me by convincingly parrot every major Trump position ...
I’m assuming bishop was NOT doing that when he was down 17 points, but instead was running some kind namby-pampy, watered-down, GOPe/RINO, consultant-driven, conventional pablum and drivel campaign that is typical of the losing kind of GOP campaign, but then he took Trump’s advice and switched to a hell-fire and brimstone, full-bore, damn-the-torpedoes, pro-everything-Trump type campaing and consequently came back from that deficit and won with a bigger margin than the GOP did in 2018 in that district.
If my assumptions are correct, then bishop did what I’ve been advocating that ALL GOP House members do in 2020: run a campaign based solely on national, pro-Trump, anti-socialist-nutjob-insanity issues and force their Dem opponents to either deny or defend the insanity being advocated by the Dem presidential candidates ...
If the above is what actually happened in bishop’s case, then all other GOP House candidates should realize that the above is a template for a winning campaign and successful election, and they ALL should do their damndist to replicate it!
