It was unfair, but he could do it if he had the facts, I think he's still relying too much on his original talking points. There is so much he could add to several of them. People will begin to roll their eyes after hearing the same phrases a certain number of times.
And he had answered the third party question several times before, so that was an old question for him. He just hadn't added the powerful facts to it he could have, the topic of this thread. (All the "Big Donors" trying to keep him out of the debate, and demanding that the other candidates take him out") Talk about not being treated fairly, which he did mention, but without those Big Donor stories.
He does need to flesh out some of his talking points and add more examples and facts. Strong supporters are beginning to say that.
I believe more are coming to “get” Trump and part of it is that he is doing building blocks that start with repetition.
Instead of being told by someone what it was that Trump has said, more and more viewers are able to hear his voice, see his body language, and can also see the obvious media establishment’s organized mark of destruction on him.
Taken all together it is human nature to like hearing the truth and rue the political assassination aligned against him. He can make the sale.
His repetition is salesmanship.
Iowa Trump supporters were interviewed by a Morning Joe guest. The supporters said that FOX News just showed the world everything of what is wrong with America.
