MSNBC analyst Donny Deutsch on Friday urged the military to release an ad campaign against former President Donald Trump ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
Trump is beating President Joe Biden in the five crucial swing states of Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to a May New York Times/Siena College survey. Deutsch suggested on “Morning Joe” that if former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, former Secretary of Defense James Mattis, former National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley release an ad campaign, it could help turn voters against Trump.
“Contrast is everything in this election,” Deutsch said. “And I think the military is the greatest example to show the contrast between two men. You see Donald Trump who, you know, got off, didn’t serve because of bunions and allegedly told John Kelly, his chief of staff … as they were in a cemetery looking at fallen heroes, ‘why would any person be a sucker and give their life for their country?’ And that’s all you need to know about Donald Trump.”

The Atlantic published a story in September 2020 citing anonymous sources claiming Trump canceled a 2018 visit to a cemetery in France where American troops are buried, saying that they were “suckers” and “losers,” but the credibility of the story has come under question. Former national security adviser John Bolton denied Trump made these remarks and said he did not visit because of weather and security reasons.
“I think the most compelling advertising campaign would be centered around the military,” he continued. “If we got Mattis, McMaster, Milley and Kelly, to go to screen and say, ‘look this country cannot stand Donald Trump. The defense of this country will not stand Donald Trump. We are great Americans. We believe in the country. We trust this country. We know this country. You can’t vote for Donald Trump.’ I think the military is the secret weapon in this election and I hope those ads come to fruition.”
To save our democracy, we need a military takeover.
“It’s OK when we do it.”
It is almost as the Left wants a Military takeover and a Junta to rule us, anything to stop Trump. Do any of these people stop to think what they are proposing?????
Bkmk
I agree. Milley needs to go to prison.
“Milley needs to go to prison.”
I still say there plenty of room at Alcatraz for Milley, Mayorkas, Garland, Fauci ...
He does the best job of running the nation of any person i've seen in my lifetime. He's better than Reagan in a lot of ways, and I am a huge Reagan fan.
Don't forget those nasty treasonous Vindmans.
Actually, there are dozens.
Dude, nobody’s arguing that our side should go back to yesteryear when the establishment raised the white flag & took it up the back door. Trying to say that the other extreme- constant noise & bluster- is exhausting & makes people & makes too many voters tune out. I’m happy to see conservatives fight back- ever watch Charlie Kirk interact with leftist students on college campus? He prepares & owns them & stays likeable while doing it. The only people MTG, Lauren Boebert, et al. impress with all of their explosive rhetoric are people that are already voting for our side. The people whose votes we need now are the uncommitted Independents & centrists, conservatives with cold feet & people who generally dont vote Th red idea that so many of our side thinks that you approach all voters the way you approach us is probably one of the main factors handicapping us. It’s sad to see the stubbornness that’s taken hold amongst us because it’s a sign that many in our voting Bloc aren’t politically savvy enough to know how to win the election. It’s also frustrating knowing that yall will miscalculate, go forward with that mindset, lose the election & then stand around bitterly after we lose as a result, give a million excuses, not learn a thing & go into the next election with the same strategy.
It isn’t the fighting back that’s a problem. I agree that’s an amazing thing that needs to remain. Arguing for our ideals is essential. It’s half of what is needed. The other half of what gets a candidate elected is how the arguments are made, how the candidate interacts & whether they are successful at messaging. Everybody forgets that half of getting elected is a popularity contest. It shouldn’t be as important a factor as it is, but it’s always been a reality. If you want to win an election, not see your freedoms disappear & not have our country taken over by commie bastards- then we have to recognize & master that element just as much as arguing for our ideals.
We also have to remember that conservative are, by nature, classier, more stable & more civil people than leftists. Once the arguer or the argument start resembling the trash on an episode of Jerry Springer, our side won’t vote for it 🫣🤭😱
I'm thinking there are hundreds, if not thousands. A lot of people were behind the vote rigging in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada. Not to mention the usual and typical vote rigging in California and Chicago.
That explanation makes perfect sense to me. Thank your elaborating. I sometimes jump to conclusion because of my frustration with those that cannot see the clear difference between the two and some use the “mean tweet” excuse for whatever reason. Thanks again.
No worries. I feel the same when it does happen. I can promise you though that 90% of the people making the ‘mean tweets’ argument aren’t moderates or apologists for the establishment (we have run most of those voters off, they’re being whiny babies & they are not voting President DJT). Almost all of the people on conservative forums like FR commenting about mean tweets are solid conservatives. They are simply stressed out bc they know the country has been in an awful place, our freedoms are threatened & the economy sucks. They get worried about being flippant, creating talking points for Democrats & blowing the election like we have the last couple.
I’ve been one of those people wringing my hands over mean tweets- & I’m sure not a centrist, establishment supporter. I’m conservative across the board on all issues. Politics isn’t just a past time for me- it’s a career. I’ve run some campaigns in my home state of Alabama. It’s one of the few things I think I have a talent for. I can promise you, the biggest factor that wins an election is discipline. Ground organization and messaging are important too, but a candidate won’t succeed at either of those or just in general without discipline.
Think about it: how did Republicans win any election. It wasn’t messaging that’s for sure. Like so many other institutions, they didn’t do the work to build a foothold in the media to develop & deliver a message. It wasn’t major ground organizations either. That’s another area they didn’t do a good enough job with. When Republicans won, it was because they were disciplined, raised the needed funds built the other factors. Reagan was incredibly discipline. He was Governor of California & won 40+ states in his races for President. Hingrich ended 40 years of consecutive rule by Democrats in 1994. He was disciplined too. Ron DeSantis, Governor of Florida. Same.
The one area President Trump needs to do better in is discipline. He’s got personality & delivers messages well. He’s not afraid. The problem is he shoots off his mouth & he steps into traps set for him. He never seems to realize: when he does that, Democrats & the press report on it endlessly & it ends up obscuring his message. He can win this hands down if he concentrated on what’s important. I think it’s far more important to do whatever needs to be done to win the election & save our country. By comparison, I could care less about owning or trolling or getting bated into stupid fights with leftists 😉
LOL ... oh, wait ... I thought the left said Pres Trump would call for military to take over.
These idiots can’t keep their projections straight.
I wonder who hired Donny Deutsch as a judge on the program, given how he's now a rabid Trump hater.

If I remember correctly,
Trump called John McCain
a loser due to his actions
as a POW in Vietnam.
He did not call all POW
veterans, losers.
