Don’t blow this, Mr. Trump. The United states will not survive a Hillary Clinton presidency, certainly not as a constitutional republic (and maybe not as a nation at all).
From your keyboard to God’s ear. They are going to attack him relentlessly waiting for one miss-step, just like we saw with this Muslim parent of the soldier.
Trump needs to pick and choose his battles and chill out on the tweets. He does not need to respond to every little yapping chihuahua the left puts out there to attack him. If he can stay focused we win. If he can’t control himself we will lose. That is going to be their campaign - attack Trump and make him “unfit” for office.
To the inevitable posters who call me a “concern troll” (yes I am concerned about the future) I would simply say this. The bases are set for this election and Trump is in fantastic shape going into the final months. The votes he now competes for are the margin of victory and the possibility of the mythical “mandate”.
Trump is competing for the mushy middle, the independents, the ones who make their mind up at that last moment based on emotion vs principle. It’s not even all of them - the map is favorable - this campaign is now down to the swing states for those who still sit on the fence. This is not the posters on freerepublic that will be super impressed that Trump is full of fight and he does not take crap - they are fickle.
Trump has to control himself on twitter. He can’t let this be personal or take it personal - he needs to be measured. He can’t afford any more “small hands” moments in the debates. He has to pick and choose his shots like a good boxer, because at this point I really believe the only person that can defeat Trump - is Trump.
Hillary is at her ceiling and it’s close if she can only somehow shave a few points so her strategy is to attack Trump. Her minions will bait Donald non-stop until election day - they will throw it all at the wall. He is smart and he knows this, but God help us, he has to tape this to his phone and on the bathroom mirror because all it will take is one stupid moment, one sentence in an interview or during the debate, or one damned tweet that makes us all cringe and WE are screwed.
“... at this point I really believe the only person that can defeat Trump - is Trump.”
I agree 100%. That’s why I prefaced my original post with “Don’t blow this, Mr. Trump.”
And you are so right: He needs to rein in this twitter foolishness.
