McCarthy tells Trump to stop questioning size of Harris’s crowds
The Hill ^ | 08/12/2024 | Sarah Fortinsky

Posted on 08/12/2024 11:00:35 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) says former President Trump should stop questioning the size of Vice President Harris’s crowds at her campaign rallies and instead focus on her as a candidate.

“You’ve got to make this race not on personalities,” McCarthy said Monday in an interview on Fox News. “Stop questioning the size of her crowds and start questioning her position, when it comes to: What did she do as [California] attorney general on crime? … What did she do when she was supposed to take care of the border as a czar?”

The former Speaker said Trump should also hit Harris on inflation, noting she was the tiebreaking vote on key legislation that has come to define the Biden-Harris administration. He also urged Trump to attack Harris for changing her position on certain policy views in the last couple of years.

>>”Every minute you spend jabbering on about crowd size or 2020 is less time you spend on the issues.”

Nonsense. There’s plenty of time to talk about both. Those who are interested in the superficial issues will focus on them and those who aren’t won’t. And most of the undecideds won’t even bother to watch a full campaign stump speech so even if Trump focused 100% on the “issues” during his stump speeches, it wouldn’t matter to them. Trump reaches such people through commercials, sound bytes and memes and interviews, not through a 90 minute stump speech. And there’s plenty out there in such venues to reach all categories of voters whether they be policy focused or not.

And your opinion would be wrong.

People are attracted to Trump because he is a fighter, not a pretend Gentleman like Jeb Bush!

An article from the pretend set of objective journalists over at the Washington Post and you want us to take you and your opinion about Trump seriously?

Go play on the Freeway kid!

Of course. Pointing out the hypocrisy of these never Trump hacks all butt hurt because Trump has been mocking the size of Kakamala’s events.

They’ve been doing it Trump for 9 years now. No?

Hey,

Jeb was wrong on the issues.

Plus his brother and old man got us into wars based on bogus “ facts” . After the lies about WMD and waste of young lives in their prime, I will never vote for a Bush again

some people are attracted to Trump for that reason.
Others are not.

In any event crowd size will not decide this election.
Inflation and the border will.

I’m not trying to elect Jeb Bush and never was.
I’m discussing the election of DJT.

I guess you and others on here haven’t listened to any of Trump’s rallys. Yes, he talks about crowd size and a lot of things but he has been hitting her policies (what we know of them) and her record a lot. Seems though all you and some others hear is his personal attacks — which have gone down.

Bull shit. Trump has talked more about the issues than ANY president in modern American history. And why he's hated by all the corrupt.

For example, the professional lawyer politicians and never did anything about the border. That's why we now have upwards of 35+ million illegals in country.

Trump is the only one who actually tried to stop these country killing policies all directed and produced by the lawyer politicians...And likely why they tired to assassinate him. Why do you think they want to throw Trump in prison?

We needed leaders, but instead got corrupt lawyers.

“The only people who care about the crowds are going to vote for Trump anyway.”

You’ll grow old and die before the fake news addresses fake crowds and AI videos.

Wrong. The faked photos of her crowds should disqualify her immediately. Trump should Hammer that fact over and over. Until she’s an even worse laughing stock than she is.
