The Wall St. Journal reports this morning that the Trump campaign has radically reduced its advertising in the key battleground states as it searches for a compelling message to defeat Biden. Under Brad Parscale, the just replaced campaign head, the campaign had been spending $9 million per week in the critical states. Biden is and has been spending $10 million per week. The new Trump campaign manager will spend just $1 million per week over the next several weeks.

During this pause in advertising, the issue centers on “what is the message”? How does the campaign define Biden for voters?

To date, the effort to define Biden has taken several paths:

* Sleepy Joe.
* Senile Joe
* Joe has been captured by the radical left.
* Joe will tolerate violence in the cities and allow that violence to attack the suburbs.

According to various pollsters, approximately 5-13% of voters have not yet made up their minds. For the Trump loyalists here, is there a message you think will solidify and expand Trump’s appeal?
For the never Trumpers, what Trump message do you fear will do the most to hurt Biden?

Thanks.
 
I am a supporter of Trump's policies- not Trump. IMO the campaign is a disaster so far. I cannot figure out what the message is. There are so many things Biden is vulnerable on- raising taxes, soft on China for example weak trade policy and South China Sea military bases, mental. acuity, soft on crime, association with Sanders and AOC, etc. I don't see a clear focused message. Somebody isn't doing their job. Even with all his obvious flaws, he should never lose to an empty suit with obvious developing dementia who is afraid to campaign, but I see that happening. JMO.
 
NoShore. I agree with you.

An incumbent president should rarely lose a reelection, particularly to such a weak candidate as Biden. An incumbent should list all his accomplishments and outline his agenda for the next 4 years, stressing continuity and follow. But, Trump prefers to be the bull in the China shop (pun intended) lashing out at opponents and acting like the victim of unfair attacks. It’s Trump as victim rather than Trump as victor.

Most insiders list Jared Kushner as the true campaign head. But, he’s secretive and remains out of the public eye and quite likely out of his political depth. What is he doing?

Good question.
Trump= Law & Order
Biden= Defund the Police

Trump= More Tax Cuts and regulation cuts Igniting the economy again
Biden= raise Taxes on everyone and everywhere
drive businesses out of our country again. Kill the economy and head for socialism

Trump= Complete the Wall and establish merit based immigration
Biden=Open Borders & destroy our country.

Trump= New Innovative Health Care Including coverage for pre existing conditions
Biden= Bring Back The failed ObamaCare. Which means lose your Dr lose your health plan. Medicare for all.

Trump= stay tough with China NKorea Russia Iran
Biden Bend over and Bow down to China Russia N Korea. Send Iran hundreds of Billions more in cash
 
The message is pretty clear. We aren’t going to be the worlds little bitch. We will look out for ourselves number 1. Hence why all the globalist are in full blown panic mode.

Cash, Do you think that’s a winning message to get him to 50%?

Brad Parscale was reassigned to what he did for Trump in 16’.He handled the digital world.
Trump campaign also reduced traditional media advertising, but is spending much more than Biden on digital.
Trump has more than enough funds.
Gonna save it for when Americans seriously start to focus on the election.
Cortez, I believe you will see Trump highlight Biden’s political career, votes and bills. He ushered in the crime bill, which arrested more blacks in history. He will highlight and exploit similar other historical votes.
He will focus on Dems being progressive Socialism, open borders, immediate benefits to illegal immigrants, Medicare for all, Higher taxes, big government, more regulations.
Basically he will pound on the major policy differences.
Wait for it...
He will talk Economy !, Stock market , Historic unemployment for Blacks, Hispanics, Asians
What is Biden’s campaign???
Besides Trump isnt Presidential

Ed,

That’s a good list. If Trump could package that clearly and stay on message for 90 days, it could work. [ It doesn’t address his handling of the pandemic, however. That’s his greatest liability. ] His discipline, however, has not existed to date. He spent June focusing on the Confederate flag and statues. He is his own worse enemy.

Agreed but he’s changed over the last 2 weeks. His tone his discipline are on point. Hence he’s rising in the polls. It’s still the 3rd quarter fellas. The dems were acting like they won at halftime.

We've turned into just that. Our citizens can currently not travel to much of the world because Trump botched his COVID response and Russia are actively plotting to murder our soldiers while Trump dithers. That's some policy.

Trump didnt botch anything. In fact joey called him a Xenophobe, Trump saved tens of thousands of lives by shutting down immigration from China, then Europe. Como is one who screwed up royally forcing nursing homes to take Covid patients.
50% of all deaths were from Nursing homes or long term facilities. 40% of those came from NY,NJ, & CT.
Wake up!

My wife, 3 adult kids and I will all vote for Biden. Yet, none of us voted for him in the primaries. Our votes were split among Bloomberg, Amy Klobuchar and Mayor Pete.

Joe’s message is emerging, I think. My guess:

* Trump badly mishandled the pandemic. He lied about results. He lied about testing. He proposed witch doctor cures instead of a national plan. Worse still, he doesn’t care about you, your parents or your grandparents. Indeed, he doesn’t care about the elderly. He is incapable of empathy.

* Racial/social issues are burning and Trump is fanning the flames. When we need unifying leadership, he talks of “looting and shootin” while praising the Confederate flag. Unacceptable

* The mishandled pandemic has killed our economy. As Trump focuses on the stock market and big businesses, front line workers have lost their jobs and small businesses have disappeared. We just had the worst economic quarter in history. We have the highest deficits in history. We need to build back a better America for all, not just for Trump’s cronies.

Whaddaya think?

Biden will be exposed in the debates. Do you really think he’s all there cognitively ?? He’s hiding in his basement for a reason. The only questions he’s taking so far are softballs from his allies in the MSM. The excitement level for Trump blows away Biden’s which is almost nonexistent. I seriously think he has early stages of dementia and I don’t mean that in a mean spirited way..

After it was too late. He only just recommended wearing masks a week or two ago and didn't have a national testing strategy. This is why we are still gaining cases while the rest of the world are back in business. Elect a clown, expect a circus... and 150k plus dead.

All Biden would have to do is discuss policy and Trump would be toast.

Cant fix biased rationalization
Keep spewing media talking points while ignoring reality
Tell us WTF Biden could have done or will do better?
Trump has bent over China, Restructuring new international trade deals, to benefit America more. Deficits fall into different categories, Trump had to rebuild the military that was ignored and fell behind under Barry. Trump ALSO had to rebuild the deficient NATIONAL medical supplies, that Barry and joey allowed to dwindle. How about the 150 BILLION dollars Barry and biden sent to Iran??????
WTF are you even talking about, sheep????
If it was up to you progressives socialistic pusses, the economy would STILL be shut down.
53 MORE months

I watched him live Thursday, he used prompters to speak in front of ten reporters. While speaking he forgot where he was, while also forgetting what year it was.
Unfortunatley, I think you’re right about Dementia

BS “the rest of the world is back in business.
USA current economy is still the strongest in the world.
USA handled this better than any other country, let alone one our size.
It was a new virus to the WORLD, situation was and still is fluid.
You speak from ignorance and emotion.

COVID 19 KILLED 679,000 people
 
As more people suffer financial ruin at the hands of Democrat governors look for Trump to pounce on the anti bankruptcy legislation that was authored by the senator from MBNA. I’m actually surprised he hasn’t pushed for a repeal of that law. That legislation stripped most people of using bankruptcy protections. Look it up on the google. There were plenty of stories written.

that will become a big issue along with Biden’s financial gains and those around him during his 40+ years of government “service”.
 
Big fat lie

Botched Covid Repose - Widely regarded as true given that other countries are opening up while our cases are going up again.

Lack of national Covid strategy - True

Russia attempting to kill US Troops - True

Given the above it would appear that you are on the side of “big fat lies”.

Relax 12. This is a thread about Trump’s message. What is it? Will it sell?

Nobody is trying to change your vote or anybody else’s on this board. Those votes are locked in. So far, you haven’t contributed a single thought to Trump’s possible messaging. Jump in just as Ed has done.

Really, I wasnt arguing again my facts are 100%.
Always try to deflect eh
This is clearly not true. Also, Trump wouldn’t be wise to suggest this given his own struggles with coherent speech.
really? OBVIOUSLY You didnt watch him Thursday LIVE, where he needed a teleprompter to speak to 10 reporters.
When he opened questions, he forgot where he was, and on another he forgot what year it is.
Sad but true. It was LIVE
So what say you now????

WRONG AS USUAL!
Only thing correct is NO National mandates for masks. CORRECTLY!
Russia ( or any. Enemy) are always trying To kill american soldiers. Nothing new here, except ANOTHER dem attempt, another piece of shit, thrown against the wall, to slow down Trump’s imminent reelection
The USA handled the virus better than any country in the world.
Keep putting your head in the sand thinking and believing China, Russia, or India’s numbers.
