Propaganda can work for both sides if properly executed. It can work for the truth, as well or better than it has worked for the lies of our current leftist media.

Trump has been the first Presidential nominee that seems to have the balls to speak his mind and cut through the insanity.

Pre-Empting the Liberal Media.

This is Sales 201/301.

Long after sales 101 (Mitt Romney Et al), with its “Features and Benefits” in a professional presentation.

Sales 201 starts to “Know” your audience/customer. Know their PAIN and keep pressing that pain button, this was Bill Clinton.

Sales 301 and Pre-Empting the Liberal Media.

The audience is no longer just the potential voter but the Leftist Media that forms their opinions. I’m not suggesting that Trump will ever convince/sell/close the liberal media, but he can literally use the media to reach his target audience, the voter.

Sales 301 is the tactic of addressing predictable objections before they are stated, and the liberal media is very predictable. Basically it’s, “I know what you’re thinking” and I’m going to address that before you express it, therefore removing it as an objection. When dealing with the media as a middleman so to speak, the challenge will always be getting sufficient air time of your message and not allowing them to define your position on their terms. In this environment Trump needs to be bold with the truth to get attention and simultaneously state how the media will attempt to spin or object.

Donald Trump knows all this and more. He’s a Master Salesman and knows how to read people but he needs to do this on a much bigger stage with a hostile media to boot.

It’s not going to be easy.

I agree, and the debates will be VERY interesting! Trump will certainly call out the media for fawning softball questions to Hillary while at the same time they get accusatory and confrontational with him.
