General discussion

Media and the Don

Oct 28, 2018 4:36AM PDT

It seems that the media is not giving the Don much coverage as he's trying to get his message out about the caravan and the great things he wants to do with taxes and drug coverage and health care.

They moved on to the pipe bomb thing and now Pittsburgh.

Tough to stump for the repubs when the media ignores you.

Mid terms are getting close and the Don better hurry.

Discussion is locked

Some thing's are just more important
Oct 28, 2018 7:55AM PDT

Bombs being sent , folks being murdered , being potentially inundated with thousands of folks trying to enter the country at one time .
That's pretty heavy stuff .
It's as it should be with the media coverage and I think the prez gets it .
He understands and he can hold his own under these kinds of conditions

Where HIS head is in the last 11 hours

HIS tweets

Very interesting!

When Lincoln, an outsider and a Republican, won the election of 1860, all hell broke loose and Democrats went berserk. Sound familiar?


Lincoln was assassinated, is THAT what he is suggesting will happen?

AND

Watching the Dodgers/Red Sox final innings. It is amazing how a manager takes out a pitcher who is loose & dominating through almost 7 innings, Rich Hill of Dodgers, and brings in nervous reliever(s) who get shellacked. 4 run lead gone. Managers do it all the time, big mistake!

How many times has HE changed "pitchers" on HIS team?

Pitching HIS policies. Of course there are fewer members of a baseball team. BUT the affects of the change are obvious within a few hours, unlike when a person is POTUS.

So far it doesn't look like things are going along swimmingly for the UNITED States of America.

PS...Is TheRUMP suggesting HE shouldn't be "pulled out of the game" by the electorate?...

Trump? "Loose and dominating", he does have loose lips and he certainly tries to dominate...especially the news cycle.

But, I wonder if a national leader 'holding his own' can be considered lesdership.

capturing the criminals very quickly and has done everything he promised during his campaign ....

But
I think he qualifies as a leader

He should use the old one, 'Like the east end of a westbound horse'. At least that gets a chuckle.

Important
Oct 28, 2018 5:25PM PDT

You are correct there's important stuff to be done.
Such as hold a stump rally hours after the shooting.
The Don has a lot of Repubs to stump for in a short period of time.
The mid terms are coming quick and he is running out of time.

Sure your'e right !
Oct 28, 2018 5:44PM PDT

For me it seems like the prez is doing all of it ...
The bad bomber was arrested
The mad racist shooter was apprehended
American military headed to the Southern border
Everyone that wants a job should try as it seems jobs are plentiful
and so on ...

If he can do all of that and more , Why not campaign if he can physically handle it ?

I'm ok with it

Going to the rally that was scheduled months ago?
Oct 29, 2018 6:22AM PDT

vs BO going to a fund raiser in CA without HOURS after the Benghazi attack when NO accurate information was formulating at that time? Hypocrite, Bob...….You keep slamming, I'll keep disputing you with real facts.

What BO did may not have been right
Oct 29, 2018 6:48AM PDT

The Don is in stump mode and he is running out of time.

What BO did is in the past and I don't live in the past.
You live in the past with your grudge list.

If he hadn't been encouraging nasty responses
Oct 30, 2018 4:01AM PDT

to any and all incidents on the blue side, it would be a nice human interest story.
I see nothing objectionable. He's paid to preside, not to handle accessories.
The first Suit OTOH is paid to fetch and carry but did not. The second one is a true public servant.

but waste their time and that of others. A stupid video with obnoxious background music. Come back when he does the Mary Poppins trick with it.
