Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) says former President Trump should stop questioning the size of Vice President Harris’s crowds at her campaign rallies and instead focus on her as a candidate.
“You’ve got to make this race not on personalities,” McCarthy said Monday in an interview on Fox News. “Stop questioning the size of her crowds and start questioning her position, when it comes to: What did she do as [California] attorney general on crime? … What did she do when she was supposed to take care of the border as a czar?”
The former Speaker said Trump should also hit Harris on inflation, noting she was the tiebreaking vote on key legislation that has come to define the Biden-Harris administration. He also urged Trump to attack Harris for changing her position on certain policy views in the last couple of years.

Well.....he’s right. Independent and wavering voters don’t care about crowd sizes. They care about what Trump would do for them and the Country. And what can happen if Kamala wins.
Every minute that Trump talks about crowds is a minute wasted instead of talking about what really matters: Inflation, costs, wars, Kamala flip-flops, etc.
The only people who care about the crowds are going to vote for Trump anyway.
Considering McCarthy’s own political failure, his offer of political advice primarily serves to keep his name in the news as someone who thinks he is still relevant. He’s not.
LOL!! From the pussy who didn’t have the balls to tell Pelosi to get the hell out of the Speaker’s office for the whole 10 months he was Speaker.
I find myself agreeing with McCarthy here. I think Trump should drop the talk about her crowd sizes and drop the talk about her not being eligible. Leave both of those things to others.
Concentrate on Biden/Harris policies that are hurting Americans, helping illegal aliens, and helping our enemies like Iran and Hamas.
Trump needs to talk about new things tonight in his interview. How he plans to stop inflation. I hope tonight Trump also tells Elon why he was against the Senate Border Bill. I am so sick of hearing this as a retort against why Harris/Biden have not done anything to close the border. He needs to clearly state in outline form so everyone understands how it was actually going to make things worse.
However true it may be, no one cares about the size of Kamala’s crowds or how dumb she is, what they care about is how Trump will improve things.
Issues, Issues, Issues, is all that matters, daily bombard the public about the border, price of food, price of gas, price of housing, etc.
The only non-economic issue I would hammer Kamala about would be her refusal to answer questions from anyone.
Kevin. President Trump has got this!
>> McCarthy has given some sage advice
In addition to hitting back at Fakala’s fakery, President Trump IS whacking her on her failures, her marxism, and the inevitable collapse of America should she be elected — and the President is ALSO touting his own record and what he will do for America when elected. JD Vance, same drill.
But of course The Hell fakenewszine ONLY reports the 5% of Trump’s comments that are personal.
And then low info wishitwasntTrumpers like you dutifully lick up their spittle and regurgitate it here and elsewhere.
I really don’t get why more of you pearl-clutchers willfully refuse to open your eyes to this. It’s disgusting and unproductive behavior.
Trust has nothing to do with it.
I’d estimate at least 50% of Republicans want Trump to follow the most obvious advice regarding his message.
McCarthy’s sage advice is:
Play by the rules set by the media. Never say anything that the media may mis-characterize or try to use against you. Let the left tell you what’s acceptable and what isn’t, and accept the media’s opinion of what matters to voters and what doesn’t.
In short, follow the George Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney playbooks.
All the more reason to do so! Traitor!
“ Trump also tells Elon why he was against the Senate Border Bill.”
Hopefully.
Most people have no idea that the Dem’s border bill is just to spend billions more to process people through the border faster. Republicans have allowed Democrats to repeatedly say that the Republicans have refused to pass the border bill as if the Dem’s border bill would shut down the invasion at the border. It’s almost as if DC Republicans want to lose.
Though crowd size may seem petty, it is important to point out the frauds that are being perpetuated by the democrats during this election.
The media sure won’t do it.
Isn’t he retired?
Though I despise McCarthy, like a stopped clock, he is sometimes correct. This is one of those times. Part of what turns off a lot of suburban women about Trump is that he engages in so many personal attacks. He will not lose one single supporter if he stops with those attacks, and instead focuses upon the issues in this campaign. One of those issues is the complete lack of ability that Kamala Harris has to deal with the substantive issues of policy, such as economics, energy, production, immigration and foreign policy.
Trump understands messaging better than anyone on this board. He’s been defying conventional wisdom for the last 8 years and his popularity has never been higher. So instead of advising Trump, why not try figuring out what it is that he sees that you don’t?
Well said and dead on.
McCarthy telling Trump what to do in the WAR we are in is sort of like a Seaman Recruit telling Nimitz how to handle the Battle of Midway.
McCarthy needs to just go away.
Excuse me. Your first paragraph is accurate. Your insults are not.
Trump is going to get 99%of the vote here.
And of course Trump is also saying everything you listed.
However, do you want to win or just rant against anyone who is concerned with the campaign right now?
During this time, Trump should be disciplining his message so that anyone reporting on Trump has to acknowledge he’s talking about inflation and the border. Maybe add in that KH is a liar.
Saying 25 other things is just giving the media other distractions to go on about.
All of this was predictable and Trump should have had a tight campaign ready to go.
People are upset that he is squandering the good will he gained after surviving assassination, and people’s awareness that the Biden/ Harris administration sucks.
Hopefully he’s getting the message.
As for you attacking anyone who dares discuss campaign strategy, do what you like.
