Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

When you're explaining...

"When you're explaining, you're losing."


That expression has been going around a lot lately, especially applied to Mr. Trump.  Corollaries might be "If you're complaining, you're losing" and "If you're making excuses, you're losing."


People thought he would be a fiery antagonist, but his aim is terrible. Hillary is a sitting duck, for 100 reasons.

Have you been watching ANY rallies at all? I think not. He has been hammering and hammering and hammering. Please don't criticize when you don't watch. Round up by the press or big news organizations is not enough. They lie. You have to watch entire rallies for yourself.

Rallies mean nothing. That's just the celebrity appeal.

RUBBISH!

One time around, huge crowd, that might be "celebrity appeal."

But: EVERY. SINGLE. RALLY?!?
No.

That's ELECTABILITY.
(...especially when you compare it to Hillary's miniscule crowds...SO small, the MSM had to use a fake photo for her St. Pete, Fl appearance!)

You did not read my post. I wasn't responding to the crowds at his rallies and what that means. i was responding to the claim that Trump is not hammering on Clinton and Obama. Clearly they have not been watching the rallies.

He does hammer on them. He has rallies twice a day. He is talking about them in detail every single time. He also is hammering on them between the rallies on interviews with the press. So to somehow claim that Trump is failing at targeting Hillary and Obama is a big fat lie.

The PRESS is the one failing the American public by covering up what is being said, by focusing on a word like 'founders' instead of showing the actual content of his rallies.

That's alot of horsehockey!
The Dems have the best PR firm you can get: THE MSM.

This time around, they have virtually gone "full Göbbels" on Trump.
And Trump is STILL WINNING.

Don't buy the propaganda.
