What is Trump’s message?

No.Shore use my comment to gauge enthusiasm, how much more motivation do you think regular voters need to chose between the normal Democracy we grew up in, raised our families in vs A New Socialist/ Communist Governmental system that will Aim to Redistribute wealth, support ONLY their Ideals, Open Boarders, Raise Taxes, Re-Institute the Death Tax, etc by De-Funding the Police, Raiding Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security/ Pensions/ , by Taxing a Penalty for anyone that is healthy and doesn't need healthcare, by by Reducing America's industrial potential and Devaluating the Dollar, Etc etc . The Choice is Elemental

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.

He has no message

He is literally running for President to stay out of jail, since if he loses, he will no longer have immunity from prosecution.

I agree with everything you say. My problem is that so far I do not think the message and the contrast is being satisfactorily delivered.I hope this changes. This is going to be a dogfight with the media doing everything they can to protect Biden.

Op, it’s simple. Trump wants to make America Great. Biden’s is anyone but Trump. Trump has done more good for this country in 3 years than Joe Biden has in 40+. All the while being attacked by the left and the media. Trump has a vision for America. Biden is busy attacking Trump. By attacking Trump, who is making America better, Biden is signaling he wants to make America worse. Biden has 40+ years of lining his own pockets and engaging in shady dealings on the taxpayers dime. They didn’t call him the senator from MBNA for no reason.

I live in a swing county in a swing state in the northeast. My area is heavily union but what the new left doesn’t understand is this area is still blue dog democrat. Telling them you are going to raise their taxes, take their guns away, take away their jobs (this is still steel country and now fracking up north), take away their safety, and not be able to go to their kids football game is not a way to win their vote. People around here still hang American flags outside, struggled through nafta (thanks Joe and Clinton) and want a future for their kids. Donald Trump has been the first President that talks like they do and wants a better America for them. A president who doesn’t want to give billions to other countries, send our jobs overseas to benefit campaign contributors, or send their kids off to be killed in far away lands. The more the left mocks him in their MSNBC and CNN echo chambers the more out of touch they become.

The writing is on the wall. A recent article showed digital engagement with 18-35 year olds for Trump is huge vs Biden. Add in the multiple polls that show Trump with 30-45% approval from people of color and this could be a historic election. If Trump gets 12-15% of the African American vote, which he is likely to do, he wins 40-42 states. Trump surrogate digital events regularly draw a million viewers. Biden had a couple of hundred viewers of one of his. Internal polling is looking great and a electoral college landslide is likely.

If any of this were true then Trump would be polling higher than the low 40s. He's the only President who has actually managed to shrink the Republican base and send independents fleeing towards the other side.

lol ok

Just in Pennsylvania alone, an article from 3 days ago showed Republicans have picked up a net 165k voters since 2016 compared to 30k democrats. Combine that with Biden’s horrible enthusiasm. Stop listening to the national networks and start following what is going on locally. National elections are won at the local level. Trump visited a medical equipment plant locally during the height of our corona outbreak. Just outside the airport the streets were lined with people then outside the facility the crowds were 2 deep for about 3/4 of a mile. Biden had 8 people show up at an event and the media (all 10 of them) outnumbered the people outside.

You’re the one who can’t back up what you posted and labeled TRUE. Maybe as President he doesn’t want to give any credence to a leak one way or the other. The WH has said it was unconfirmed intelligence. Doubt you’ll get picture of wheel barrels of cash exchanging hands we’re talking Afghanistan here not Iran.

Didn’t realize Ozzie still at old tricks. Democratic Congressman who was removed from office
Myers was involved in the Abscam scandal in 1980. Myers was videotaped accepting a bribe of $50,000 from undercover FBI agents on August 22, 1979.[11] On that tape, Myers is recorded saying that "money talks in this business and bullshit walks."[12] Myers was expelled from the House of Representatives on October 2, 1980, by a vote of 376 to 30, becoming the first member of the House to be expelled since 1861. Myers was convicted of bribery and conspiracy and sentenced to three years in prison in 1981.[13]

He has also denied the Russians interfered in the 2016 elections, so his word on matters pertaining to Russia (as well as the other 20,000 lies he's told in office) is completely worthless.

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.
Trump's Policies

1) Keep America white especially the suburbs
2) Mexico will pay for a wall......Not
3) Make sure most Americans never get health insurance
4) Ensure he and the rich get richer
5) Collude with Russia, again!!
5) Collude with anybody that will help Trump remain in power

You must think someone speaks truth on Russia. Let’s see tell me who you agree with, Adam Schiff, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Lisa Page maybe the great fraud Bob Mueller?

Wrong. He has repeatedly denied Russian interference on many occasions - out of fear that admitting it would delegitimize his 2016 victory.

Said He was going to build a wall, he’s building it. Said He’d cut taxes, taxes cut. Said He’d end Iran nuclear treaty. Ended. Said Russian collusion was a hoax. Proven Hoax. Said He’d rebuild military, still in progress. Said He’d redo NAFTA. Done. Said He’d standup to China. Has. Said He’d rollback red tape and regulations, Done. Said He’d make US energy independent. We are.

These are the truths I like and there’s more. The goofy lies these people state I could care less.

State Department emails obtained by the conservative group Citizens United this week indicate that the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine was involved in discussions about the natural gas firm Burisma Holdings and even in a meeting with a company representative, despite testifying to Congress during the impeachment inquiry that she knew little about the firm.
Burisma wasn’t a big issue in the fall … of 2016, when I arrived,” she said, noting that the investigation and details surrounding its closure “happened before I arrived.”

"It was not a focus of what I was doing in that six-month period," she said.

But through a Citizens United Freedom of Information Act request for emails related to Burisma sent by former deputy assistant secretary of state for Europe and Eastern Europe George Kent, the organization obtained more than 160 pages of emails and memos sent during the fall of 2016, including communications between Yovanovitch and U.S. Embassy officials about Burisma Holdings and documents indicating that she met with a representative of the firm at the embassy in December 2016.
