Eric Bolling: Trump team waited too long to ‘shake things up’
The Hill ^ | 08/23/2024

Posted on 08/23/2024 6:52:34 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Fox News and Newsmax host Eric Bolling is sounding the alarm to his fellow Republicans, saying former President Trump’s team waited too long to “shake things up” after Vice President Harris entered the race.

“Wake the F— up.. we are LOSING!” Bolling posted to his X account, along with a four-minute video.

Bolling, a friend of Trump’s, said he warned the former president and his teams that it was not the right idea to wait until after the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to begin attacking Harris.

“You waited too long, guys, you waited too long,” he said.

>>>> Biden would probably have won, even post debate.<<<<

ANYONE could “win” against President Trump if their side is efficient at cheating.

That’s how Brandon “won” the last presidential election.

People, I don’t recall either knew what would happen because of the June debate, or were great at guessing what would happen. Wish I could remember who said it.

What happened to this guy? He became Debbie Downer. Quit his anchoring stint on Newsmax in June. Now is critical of Trump all the time.

Looking at the viewership chart he posted, which I guess is the basis for his vapors, it looks like a bunch of people watched the DNC on MSNBC and CNN. So what? I would have expected both networks to get a bounce this past week.

And what the heck’s going on with his puffy face?

She’s a paper pushing hack like Fani. Fani has a great title but if you watched her perform she is no a impressive person. Trump should abasolutely take Comrade Kamala seriously but she doesn’t seem terribly impressive and her title doesn’t change that. A lot of idiots with law degrees.

Related observations:

1) Influencers and media people on the right are desperate for clicks, views and attention. They’ll do anything and say anything to remain relevant. The fear of losing out on fame and opportunity is their number one motivator for being online. F****ing gross and weird. They’re also much more nefarious than most realize and enact super cringe tactics to maximize profit via social media, because they don’t actually have any business sense or talent in the real world.

2) The base is scared s***less after the conviction. Arm chair quarterbacks who rely on the people above, aimlessly regurgitate their talking points and the fear manifests in their incessant need to cry online about every little twist and turn. If you show any levity or calm, they hyperventilate and attack you for not agreeing with the fear porn they’ve been reading.

3) President Trump appears resolute, relaxed and totally fine with whatever fate awaits him. He’s not willing to grovel, whine or alter his messaging in the hopes of a lighter sentence. His grace during this time in his life is a testament to his faith and leadership. Incredible lessons to be learned from him over the next six weeks.

Disagree, she will neve4 be challenged, not even once, without a debate. She’ll get nothing but glowing BS stories until election day then on November 6th they’ll remember she’s unimpressive.

People have already forgotten Yrump was shot. It’s horrible to say but it happened too early. It should have decided things but it won’t even register when people are voting.

Really, Eric? When your political enemy is digging the hole deeper, just let him/her dig. There are still approximately 75 days - a political eternity - for the Trump campaign to make Harris look like the buffoon she is. So take a deep breath, Eric. Really.

Most Americans don't watch mainstream news any longer. Their message isn't the only access to information to those who care to pay attention.

Plenty of idiots to hoodwink, but most people just don't care enough to pay attention. Only around 13% watch broadcast news, while ~45% get their political news from television in general, apparently. Smartphones and computer devices is where over 86% get their news, so that can encompass any online sources.

Only 3% get their news from print media. 18% social media for news updates.

They have influence, but the covering up for the left is their major fault, and we just let them do so. Their credibility has cratered and influence waned, and that's been obvious for a long while.

The liberal audience laughing at Colbert's mention of CNN “Report the news, as is” was quite telling. To me it denotes society wide acknowledgment across the entire political spectrum of CNN's bias in favor of the left, which is easily extensible to the rest of our MSM.

There are no minds left to change. The only ones watching such a thing are those with minds made up, but the media coverage will declare something he said to be racist.

There is nothing to gain. She is not going to be the issue for anyone. No one cares about her. It’s not Trump vs Harris. It is Trump vs the government norms.

It is a silly risk.

Hannity was repeating it from some source. It may have been Rush, and Rush could have gotten it from another source. Hannity kind of ran it into the ground, but it was a smart observation, and he didn’t have many of his own.

Could have even been O’Reilly.

Gee Ear-ache, maybe if the Department of Injustice, Fulton County D.A. Fani Will-ass, the NYS Attorney General Lucretia Borgia and the Manhattan D.A. Fatty Arbuckle hadn’t been prosecuting President Trump these past 4 years, things would have been a bit more “shaken up,” not stirred. What an ultra maroon Bolling is. What an embezzle. (Credit to Bugs Bunny).

Bolling is wrong. This is not contest for what's trending on social media or a fight over TV news ratings.

Trump, the candidate running for office, is no longer attacking Vice President Harris. The Trump-Vance campaign is running against the Harris-Walz campaign. Harris and Walz had to give some introduction, some definition of themselves and their campaign before Trump could effectively respond. Meanwhile both party's conventions, dozens of campaign events were already set, before all the crazy happened. The last two months have been unlike any other Presidential race ever:

  1. June 27: Trump Biden debate. Biden shows he is barely functioning.
    In response to Biden stumbling on his words, Trump has the line:
    "I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said either."
  2. July 12: the attempted Trump assassination.
  3. July 15 to 18: the Republican National Convention.
  4. July 21: Biden drops out of race.
  5. July 22-Aug 18: Harris secures her nomination without having to campaign for it or having her own platform.
    The Trump assassination attempted gets Orwellian memory holed by the DOJ, FBI, US Secret Service, and news media.
  6. Aug 7: Harris selects Tim Walz as her VP.
    Walz's military record and handling of the George Floyd riots comes up the next few days, without prompting by any PACs or conservative aligned groups.
  7. Aug 19-Aug 22: Democratic national convention and Harris's nomination without having campaigned or having her own platform (a fact worth repeating).
  8. Aug 23: RFK Jr drops out and endorses Trump, gives speeches torching the Democrats for their anti-Democratic governance.
There has never been a Presidential campaign season where so much goes off the rails like this. No campaign has a perfect crystal ball or can react to surprising and unexpected changes like this in the middle of the campaign.
