Someone should get this to Trump.
Has Luntz turned on Hillary?
Most “advice” to candidates from commentators is BS.
But this is quite good.
Trump turned down Luntz looking for his business a while ago and now it looks like Luntz is ‘pitching’ again.
Very sensible points from Luntz
If we're getting into the last three weeks of this campaign and Trump still hasn't closed the deal on a few of these items, then I really have to question the competence of his campaign staff.
Trump should not get mad, but pivot back to the real issues, with remarks to the effect, "Now John, this is not a locker room event from another decade. I have already handled that--[or apologized for that]--it is the American future, at stake. It is about safe borders; safe neighborhoods, fair trade relations; about an American future that those of us who love America & the Americans will be able to recognize and take pride in."
I don’t see any good reason to announce specific cabinet appointments.
Getting back on offense, yes, for sure!!
[...he must pivot away from allegations of sexual misconduct.]
Weasel Wallace will absolutely ask him to respond to these allegations, a good answer, IMO, would be:
“You and the rest of media have been, on a daily basis, beating the drums about this subject, therefore, I will defer to my opponent to comment on these salacious allegations and when you and she are finished pandering to each other MAYBE we can get on with questions concerning saving our Republic from tyranny”
Can't disagree with any of the above other than number 5. He needs to make it clear why his "change" is to reinstate American liberty, leadership, power, and standing in the World. Hillary claims he wants America to go backwards.
Trump needs to address what made America great and the envy of the World, not to mention copied time and again. Now those same nations look at us and laugh or dismayed that the USA is no longer "The Shining City on the Hill". The USA has become a shadow of itself and kows to our known and potential enemies. The World became a better place from our original concepts of liberty, limited government, an equal opportunity. Now it is self-destructing from the lack of our strong leadership and direction.
Geeze, make me his speech writer or many on this board.
Agree with the comments. Trump needs to show he will be the President who will fix all these problems. Not mired in the mud with Hillary.
Yea... right.
Have you already forgotten what Lutz was like during the primary season.
This swarmy little puke needs to crawl back in his hole and place his focus groups up his AZZ....
Points three and five are his best bet. I don’t think he can give a detailed analysis of the budget and naming cabinet figures could be seen as presumptuous. Pivoting away from the sexual misconduct charges would be difficult since Clinton will harp on them. But asking her about change during her time in D.C. and presenting himself as the change architect that she could never be might be very effective.
Most of these sexual misconduct charges are so old they should be countered by “So, you could have hit me up for a lot of money back then. Why did you wait until now?”
“Number three, he needs to talk about Hillary Clinton in terms of more than three decades in Washington, D.C. Did you get the change you want? Did you get the change you deserve?”
Trump has been saying this, even said it at the last ambush [aka debate].
Luntz belongs in the same receptacle with Rove.
At the end of the week put it out on the curb for pickup.
