Donald Trump first has to realize he’s dealing with a weak opponent. He’s not competing with a rich businessman in Manhattan for a prime piece of real estate. He’s competing with Hillary Clinton and the liberal ‘basket-cases’ that run her campaign.
They are arrogant and conceited. In the last debate Clinton baited Trump into discussing former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado for five days (following) instead of promoting his winning policy. Clinton will appear at Sunday’s town-hall debate armed with a host of insults and twenty-year-old controversies expecting Trump to take the bait. If he doesn’t, she’ll be dumfounded and ill-prepared to handle an the unexpected rebuttals propagated by Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, in the vice-presidential debate this week.
Her campaign truly believes Trump is not capable of being successful. This is evidence of their inability to understand business success. Liberals like Clinton see everything through the lens of politics with virtually no business acumen.
When Trump is attacked by Clinton, his best option is to limit himself to a twenty-second explanation followed by the assertion that she is lying and pivot to the audience speaking directly about Clinton’s record of illicit behavior and his own policies to repair the economy while creating more jobs.
If Trump attacks Bill Clinton’s affairs, it will be received by voters as hypocritical. After all, Trump has been married three times himself resulting in two high-profile and contentious divorces. By contrast, I do not believe it’s off limits to discuss Hillary’s ‘war on Bill’s women’ as a defense to character attacks.
Trump would be well served to litigate the foreign policy failures of Clinton while Secretary of State: Benghazi, Lybia, Syria, Russian ‘reset,’ Iraq and the ridiculous Iran nuclear deal (which she instigated). Expect her defense to be the old and tired line of “I am proud to be part of the team that killed Osama bin Laden.” It’s hardly foreign policy experience to sit in the corner of the situation room and watch a television as our military men and women risk their lives. Trump might be well served to point out that fact.
Since killing bin Laden, a far worse enemy has emerged as a direct result of the Obama-Clinton foreign policy: ISIS.
Trump performs better when speaking to crowds. Clinton does not. She will not have a script even if she’s prepared for tough questions. And, unlike the town-halls she’s participated, she will have Trump fact-checking and refuting her many lies and distortions.
He will face the typical claims of being racist, xenophobic, et. al. He should not dignify petulant, liberal attacks with a single answer. Just talk to the voters and ignore the lady yelling to your left. He should try the line, “I love my protesters” (referring to Clinton) and then speak to the voters (ignoring Clinton as if she doesn’t matter).
Trump campaign manager, Kelly Anne Conway should confiscate Trump’s phone for 24 hours following the debate: No Tweets! However, if any accusation made by Clinton is still circulating in the media 24 hours after the debate, I do believe Trump has to answer it and set the record straight. That’s his style and that is what unifies his base.
Many ‘experts’ say Trump should stop discussing these negative attacks by the Left. They are wrong. Trump should stop giving life to them. He should only respond to issues that won’t ‘die’ in the media such as his leaked tax return.
Trump benefited from a nearly 100 year-old tax code that allowed him to carry over real estate losses and depreciation to escape taxes for a period of unknown years in the 1990’s. He should admit it, explain it and then offer the solution that every American should be able to invest in properties, depreciate them and apply any losses toward their income (regardless of which industry they work).
It would be hard for Clinton to battle that solution other than to claim people in poverty (who pay zero taxes anyway) can’t afford those investments and wouldn’t benefit from those deductions. In such a response, Trump could simply assert she has been in national politics for forty years, has yet to make any progress on poverty, has gotten incredibly rich and took a $699,000 deduction in 2015 on the same tax return line-item. He should say, “I didn’t get rich manipulating voters; I got rich running a business and employing tens-of-thousands of people. How many people have you employed?”
“The American people are too stupid to understand the difference.” Those words were uttered by professor Jonathan Gruber who was the architect of ‘Obamacare.’ Instead of taxing people with ‘cadillac health-care plans’ his ‘think-tank’ decided to tax the insurance companies. These ‘stupid people’ were excited that the ‘bad insurance companies’ are being punished not realizing they would eventually pay the costs in insurance-premium increases.
Liberals, including Clinton, think they are better, smarter and more important than you. They prey on Americans’ ignorance regarding complex matters in order to gain power. Our citizens simply don’t have time to investigate the complexities of our weak economy and stagnant wages. As a result, it’s much easier for liberals like Clinton to blame it on the greed of ‘the top one percent.”
The silver bullet to winning this next debate is pointing to the policies and behavior of liberals (like Clinton) and speaking directly to Americans about their most pressing issues while completely ignoring her petulant personal-insults and distortions.
Trump must enlighten voters and expose Clinton while introducing policies to solve our challenges and divisions. If he does, Clinton doesn’t have a chance.
Whole heartedly agree with your assessment.
Who would you rather vote for: A committed animal lover who is mostly vegetarian, without any hint of sexual misconduct or abusive behavior toward woman, who doesn't drink or smoke, and who is a decorated combat veteran to boot,
or Donald Trump, who was once recorded making some lewd locker room comments?
The first guy was Adolph Hitler. Now, he wasn't one of the "greatest leaders of all time," but if you want to make personal conduct your exclusive yardstick, you aren't always going to get a good leader.
It’s time. It’s time for a series of three commercials featuring Juanita, Kathleen, and Paula telling the American people what Bill and Hillary did to them.
They get away with it because they’re for abortion on demand.

I'm still waiting for a Republican presidential candidate to hold up a enlarged version of a typical American pay stub and walk the audience through the weekly looting of American's hard-earned income, item by item. That looting is what enables EVERYTHING the democrats are doing. Stop the looting and you will stop them, in their tracks.
It'd only take a minute, repeated every time Trump gets up before the cameras, and the message would sink in, and people would start waking up. It's robbery, taking food right off their table and right out of the mouths of their children. OMG, a person could make such a big deal out of this. And it would resonate. Trump's lead in the polls would skyrocket. IMO. But time's running out.
ARE WE FREEPING THIS?
“The “town hall” debate will feature questions from the Internet — ABC and CNN moderators agreed to consider the Top 30 questions voted up on this site!”
Go to the linked page, register a email address (I have throw-a-way e-addys for this purpose) and then select the issues that you would like to hear discussed. You CAN click more than one. The libs are busy clicking on “climate change”, so we should weigh in.

This should maybe have a post of it’s own?
Page two of that questionnaire has the question about securing borders. APPARENTLY it is being overlooked.
Liberal’s outrage is confinded to themselves and their class.
NONE OF THE LIBERAL JOURNALIST CARED ONE HOOT ABOUT THE ABUSE OF JUANITA, KATHLEEN OR PAULA JONES.
WHY?
BECAUSE THEY WEREN’T ‘ELITE’ WOMEN - THEY WERE POWERLESS.
If you think the words in the Vagina Monologues are gross - check out the raunch in the average ‘gay rights’ parade.
Nope liberals don’t give a damn about any of this stuff - the ‘F’ word was spoken every 18 seconds on the Jon Stewart Show... no, for the little liberal sh*ts this stuff only matters if they can bash a conservative with it.
President Jimmy Carter in his own words:
“I’ve looked on a lot of women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times. This is something that God recognizes that I will do—and I have done it—and God forgives me for it. But that doesn’t mean that I condemn someone who not only looks on a woman with lust but who leaves his wife and shacks up with somebody out of wedlock. Christ says, don’t consider yourself better than someone else because one guy screws a whole bunch of women while the other guy is loyal to his wife.”
He concluded: “I don’t think I would ever take on the same frame of mind that Nixon or Johnson did—lying, cheating and distorting the truth. . . I think that my religious beliefs alone would prevent that from happening to me.”

Dang, missed the chance to pile on!
Lexinom was bludgeoned by many then zapped. What a ver blind individual.
Was that a separate incident from 3/19/16 when you were zotted by JR but reinstated in an hour?
And it's my understanding that he's on good terms with and is taking very good care of those first two wives and the children he had from them.
And I believe it because if he wasn't, NO doubt in my mind, we'd have heard about that long ago.
My daughter is not a Trump fan, she does think he's a racist and xenophobic, however, she liked his economic plan a LOT.
She's actually reconsidering her vote I think.
If he can focus on issues like that and present good workable solutions, I think that will go much further than trying to defend himself from every conceivable lie they liberal are trying to throw at him.
King David comes to mind.
Oh wait, he wouldn't be good enough for liberals either. He committed adultery with another man's wife and then had her husband murdered to cover up the evidence.
But unlike Clinton David repented.
Hillary is not a great leader but she is a criminal liar. These are actual overt conduct, not 11 year old private man being man talk. I hear worse that that every damned day.
I wish hillary had been aborted.
I just hope Trump doesn’t take the liberal feminist bait and sucker into being Mr. Nice guy again. If he does that he is totally finished. We don’t want MR. Rogers from Sessemy Street!! We want a total fighter to knock her out like ALi knocked out George Foreman. When he opens up on her I want to see withering unending facts and rebuke.This was all set up but it has opened the barn door and she is not going to like what comes out. That $hit eating smirk on her face will quickly dissipate into stark terror and fear. She better hunker down for a real fat ass whippin. Go TRUMP— NO DAMNED MERCY. If she interrupts like kaine did tell to Shut her pie trap.
