President Trumps allies are urging him to change his tone and key figures in the campaigns orbit are pointing fingers over who is to blame for the presidents spiraling poll numbers with just over four months to go until Election Day.
There is frustration in Trump World over the president's lack of discipline and his confrontational tone during a time of high anxiety over the coronavirus and civil unrest around the death of George Floyd while in police custody.
Some Trump allies are worried that campaign manager Brad Parscale is in over his head. And there is sniping between pro-Trump outside groups about whether their money is best spent propping up Trump or tearing down presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
Ed Rollins, the chairman of the Great America PAC, a top outside group supporting the presidents reelection, said the course correction starts with Trump. He said the president faces certain defeat if he does not convey more compassion and focus on a message that expands his coalition to include women and independents.
The message is weak or nonexistent. The rambling on about Biden and Pelosi or Clinton and Obama is old and tired. This needs to be about the future, not the past, Rollins said.
He needs to show empathy, which he hasnt, and project strength by doing what Reagan, Thatcher and Churchill did with strong speeches. Not macho bullshit, but thoughtful solutions to serious problems. This is about the future, not what the Democrats did in the past. Make people be concerned with what [Democrats] can do with total control of the government, House, Senate and the White House.

I totally agree with that. I don't think Trump talks that much about what Democrats did in the past. He should talk about Biden's past outrageous statements about China e.g, "they're not competition for us", his speech that recently came to light about giving them our technology, because that is about the future.
Make people be concerned with what [Democrats] can do with total control of the government, House, Senate and the White House.
From Trump's speech in Tulsa:
If Biden is elected, he will surrender your country to these mobsters 100%...Joe Biden is a helpless puppet of the radical left, and hes not radical left. I dont think he knows what he is anymore, but he was never radical left, but hes controlled by the radical left, and now hes really controlled. His campaign staff even donated a lot of money to bail out rioters, looters and arsonists who ravaged Minneapolis. They bailed them out, they put up a lot of money to bail them out, the rioters, the looters and they were, they were the arsonists.
Joe Biden and the Democrats want to prosecute Americans for going to church, but not for burning a church. They believe you can riot, vandalize and destroy, but you cannot attend a peaceful pro-America rally. They want to punish your thought, but not their violent crimes. They want to abolish bail, abolish and open up your borders. They want open borders, let everyone, and by the way, were doing so well. We have a record this month on the borders. Nobodys coming in. Very few people. And they want to abolish ICE, our great people from ICE who send the roughest toughest, meanest people that youve ever seen or ever heard.Lots of other stuff like that were in the speech. The problem may be that most Americans don't know what he said. Start running commercials that contain excerpts like that from his speeches.
Ed Rollins, the chairman of the Great America PAC, is a deep state hack. He has no clue about Trump voters.
ROFLMAO!
It might help if the Justice Department actually made a few arrests of deep state bad actors.
I do not see where the Trump trails Democrat, Joe Biden anywhere, because I do not take any political poll as truth and reality...period.
I get my goodies from the actual results of the 2020 POTUS Primary election results and , if you match and measure the vote totals of Trump vs. Biden, Trump slaughters Biden in landslide victories in state after state. Trump actually, in many polls beats all Democrats listed on a state ballot ticket, as he just did handily in the recent Kentucky POTUS
primary election.
So...”The HiLL”, please do not “pee” down my back and tell me it’s raining!!! Thank you!!!
The news cycle changes every 48 hrs. There are so many things that will happen in the next 120 days, positive and negative.
Go do something nice.
Lack of discipline and his confrontational tone,aka not a puss.
He needs to show empathy,same answer
Allies = RINO Moles
This stuff is going to be never-ending until Nov.
Ha Ha nice try Hill!
I thought Katrina Pierson did a great job for trump. I never understood why he let her go.
According to her Wikipedia profile, she turned down an offer a few years ago to work in the office of the White House press secretary. It also says she joined the Trump 2020 campaign in 2018. What happened after that?
Nope, is was mostly full.
they are quoting Rollins? Bwwwwaaahhaaahaaa!
Ed Rollins is a nice guy, but he’s getting up there in years, like Biden, if you know what I mean.
By any chance were you there?
Don’t I remember hearing much the same thing at about this same time in the last campaign???
I think it was settled by “Let Trump be Trump” -— and that worked out quite well!!!
I would love to see ads bought by the RNC and others with Conservative Black speakers like Diamond & Silk, Candace Owens, Thomas Sowell, Allen West, Condoleezza Rice, Alveda King, Larry Elder, Niger Innis, Star Parker, Alfonzo Rachel, and many, many others -— those ads run in majority Black communities to reach out to any that might not be 100% brainwashed that Trump and the Republicans are racist. We need to speak TRUTH to the Democrat lies loud and clear!!!
Parscale’s background is data. The data doesn’t tell you how to change the mind of a soccer mom or whatever. That’s political messaging. And then, the media strategy has to be designed around the message. Focus groups are typically used as part of that process. I know using focus groups to actually determine the message is not a good idea, but still you need some guidance about how people perceive things.
The campaign strategist is in charge of that whole process, I think. It can’t be Parscale. He has no background in that. Since he’s the number one person, he should have hired one. Did he do that? I don’t even know who the Trump campaign strategist is.
Remove the 12/31/2020 end date of his shutdown of foreign worker immigration and peg it to last until the unemployment rate falls to 2.5 %. This will let the middle class and the working poor Americans know that he has their backs.
Issue an EO to reduce by 50% the number of foreign student visas to free up space for American students with no fixed end date.
Issue and EO that forces banks and wire transfer businesses to verify that either the sender is an American citizen or a valid visa to be in the country before they can transfer or wire money anywhere. That money needs to stay in the American economy.
Issue an EO under the national emergency that all employers use E-Verify before hiring anyone. This EO should order the IRS to audit large employers for employee identity fraud and that INS step up indictments of employers that hire illegal aliens by a factor of 10.
The headline should be...The Hill predicts sun to
rise in west. Polls have shown that most people
would prefer sun to rise in west. /S
