Breitbart News’ Pollak: Trump’s Supporters ‘Are Going to Have to Drag Him Across the Finish Line’
Breitbart ^ | 09/11/2024 | Breitbart News

Posted on 09/11/2024 12:47:53 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

“If you want Donald Trump to win, you’re going to have to do it yourself.”

That’s the assessment of Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Joel B. Pollak, who appeared with Jennifer Horn and Grant Stinchfield on AM 870 in Los Angeles on Wednesday to offer his thoughts on the presidential debate in Philadelphia the night before.

“As great as Donald Trump wins — he gets up from a bullet wound to the head, and all of that — his supporters are going to have to drag him across the finish line, because he was not prepared for the debate that happened last night.

“I’m not saying he wasn’t prepared in general. But I have been saying … for weeks that he should not try to beat her in the debate, but rather try to use the debate platform to communicate to his own supporters. He did not do that. He did not make the case for himself last night. And [Kamala Harris] did what she came there to do, which was to show her supporters that she could be strong.”

Nonsense — he was on point, and Harris was an empty suit.

This is MSM BS, pure and simple. All the neo-cons are jumping on it. For more non-stop war it is Harris, otherwise Trump will shut it down. This is embarrassing at this point and time.

Yup. Accurate commentary. Hopefully he’ll be better coached for the next debate. And hopefully they can enforce the rules stronger so that corrupt moderators like Muir can’t blindside him!

Pretty sure his own supporters are gonna vote for him, Joel. Same with Kammy’s It was the squishes that the debate was aimed toward.

Trump takes almost no advice.
Let Trump be Trump, they say.
Anyone who even suggests he do so, is branded as a traitor equivalent and dismissed rudely.

Well last night he missed a large opportunity and surely his prep team like Tulsi Gabbard could have done better. Or did he ignore their advice?

He coulda turned that whole Haiti issue away from defending memes, to highlighting the social issues on communities when large numbers of unvetted unassimilated “migrants’ are dumped into small communities, why is that occurring and to what benefit. It’s not happening in Georgetown, Chevy Chase, Potomac, McLean….

In honest elections, that is how it's supposed to happen. More voters vote for one of the candidates, giving him the win. Democrats don't understand that. They'll steal it. Rig it. Impose “their” will, not we the people's.

There’s not going to be another debate. Harris did exactly what she needed to do last night. Trump screwed the pooch.

I’ve been warning people that Harris wouldn’t be the pushover people here thought she’d be.

Trump was prepared for debate with “Que mala” Harris, but not for the sniping that came from the “moderators”, who were quick to fact-check Trump, but nary a peep directed at the vice president, who came up with some pretty absurd assertions, which she kept repeating.

Funny.
Trump’s dragged his supporters for the last 4 years to the November 5 2024 finish line, so they didn’t start killing the thieves and conspirators of stolen election of 2020..

Pollak has always very dependable so I was surprised at this. As I responded to him on X, keep talking Trump down and we will get 4 to 8 or more years of a communist in the oval office..

And that goes for others even on FR

Bannon hasn’t run Breitbart since January 2018.

But that’s nothing new. So Trump was essentially forced to debate the typically hostile media.

The only thing that I see resonating with politically naïve voters are Trump’s points on the economy and the illegals. And Harris had nothing “new” to offer which Trump pointed out repeatedly.

Women will have noticed Trump’s steadfast determination to fix a critically broken country. Harris had nothing to offer other than childish platitudes.

Sure, for the wonks, it’s about performance minutia, but those votes are already counted.
