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.
If the GOP hadn't pissed all over the Tea Party (after using them for votes) and then bent over and spread wide for Obama, Trump would never have gained traction.
BTW, you might not have noticed, but Trump loves America.
He needs to get the subject back on Immigration: or he should just openly insult Hillary to her face by calling her old, fat, and ugly, and saying she's just jealous because no good-looking men have flirted with her for decades, and she's so weak, her husband cheated on her with an intern IN THE OVAL OFFICE and then lied about it on national TV. The only reason she put up with it -- hell, the reason Hillary trashed the women -- was to gain power, and she got shafted by a black man, Barack Obama.
Then call her a pathetic excuse for a human being.
Be sure to draw your skirts a little more to the side while clutching your pearls the next time you attempt the Dem "moral equivalency game" dear.
Another Hillary voter outed.
King David committed murder and God kept him on the throne of Israel. If God chose this man as flawed as he is to lead so be it.
You are headed for very tough times. I had your attitude about 10 years ago until I was converted to have a heart of mercy, which you do not have. God is going to beat you down to your lowest common denominator and only then will you see the truth. The first of many woes are coming your way and soon.
We need to continue reading the Bible. We are -all- guilty of all 10 commandments... “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Finish the verse. "...and such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." 1 Cor 6:11
BTW, James Dobson has claimed Donald Trump has accepted Jesus as his Savior.
Aren't you supposed to accept him as a brother?
Oh...the White House isn't the Kingdom of Heaven. As Jesus said, "My Kingdom is not of this world."
It occurred to me recently that there really is no need to “close the deal” until you have the counterparty at the table, pen in hand. That is the moment everything else points toward. A counterparty convinced too soon can only change their mind. One is better to have them in a position of “still considering the decision”, perhaps, than decided too soon.
Personally, I don’t think this way but I have not made ten billion closing deals. Trump has and I think some of the pearl clutchers should give him a little credit.
Adulterers will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Neither will murderers.

It is really hard doing God’s judgement and getting it right.
The king gave the order to his general, Joab, that Uriah should be placed in the front lines of the battle, where it was the most dangerous, and left to the hands of the enemy (where he was more likely to die). David had Uriah himself carry the message that ordered his death. After Uriah was dead, David made the now widowed Bathsheba his wife.
Are you aware that the owner of Free Republic has declared FR is a PRO TRUMP forum? You might want to take that into consideration. That said, Donald Trump is exactly the person I want to be in the White House during these times to begin removing the poisons of progressivism.
Vote Trump.

Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.” (Matt 21:31) Notice to whom Jesus was speaking, the chief priests and elders of the people (Matt 21:23).

Let he who is without arguments cast the last comment.
How do you know he hasn’t asked God for forgiveness?
And if he hasn’t asked God for forgiveness, what kind of witness are you for him to do so?
Again, for the umpteenth time, we are not electing a pastor, we are electing someone to run the economic and security affairs of this country. By your standard, you can never expect the services of anyone in society that isn’t sinless.
For Americans:
More and better jobs.
Safety and security.
Lower healthcare cost.
Lower college cost.
Support of family.
Borders and legal immigration.
Against Hillery:
Hillary’s Clinton Foundation: money sources, pay-to-play, tax sheltering, waste, low charitable output, Haiti - Digicel, unbuilt hospital, cheating dirt poor blacks.
Hillary’s flip-flops - gay marriage, NAFTA, Keystone, TPP, debt limit, deportation, payroll taxes, on and on.
Hillary’s foreign connections, staff’s foreign associations.
Hillary’s hiding government emails, erasing an illegal private server, her lies.
‘Both candidates are human trash, unfit for office.’
You really want to compare Trump with the Clintons?

Do you remember when she had a pedophile-rapist trained to trick a polygraph test?
And she laughed about it. “I’ll never trust lie detectors again! Hahahah!”
That’s moral turpitude, even for a defense attorney.
His name was Thomas Alfred Tayor. Hillary won a plea bargain.
“Taylor pleaded down to ‘unlawful fondling of a minor’ and served less than a year in prison after Clinton was able to block the admission of forensic evidence that linked her client to the crime.” — [UK] Daily Mail
An accessory or hiring someone to committing to murder can be sentenced to life or the death penalty too. This can be applied to Christians who vote for pro-abortion candidates as well. God still charged David with blood on his hands.
Where in scripture does it say to vote?
Maybe even when we are to reject the “World”, we are to reject the World’s ways, including voting, discussing politics, arguing on FR, ...
“The way to pull this off ...”
Pull WHAT off? You are still thinking that the ‘correct’ candidate can ‘save’ the US.
Your hope is in the wrong place.
