Re: Campaign 2016

the captain - Yeah, the multi-quoting can be a bit tricky

I can see where you're coming from, but it's not accident that he he's changed his positions multiple times within a short time frame. He tests the waters, and once he figures out what works he sticks with. Keep in mind that he's been a politician for like 18 months, so he's had to do all his testing and cementing on the fly. Politicians flip flopping around isn't anything new, and Hillary done some of that herself. Only difference is she can mask it by saying she's changed with time. The past few months he's made numerous policy speeches and his positions are all available on his website.

And as for the speech mannerisms, he could easily speak more 'presidential' if he chose to, but he's framing this election as the everyman vs a corrupt system, outsider vs establishment, David vs Goliath. The way he talks is connecting with people because from the very beginning, Trump has used the fact that he's not a polished politician to get further.

It's fine if you don't find an issue with Clinton's health, but you can bet it's going to come up before election day again. That video of her collapsing is pure fuel for his supporters and as far as I can tell, there isn't a clear counter punch for it from Hillary's campaign


Personally while there's been some dodgy stuff in the leaks, there hasn't been a super homerun with it as far as I can tell. The fact remains that it's a dark cloud circling over the campaign, and it's a tool that Trump uses every single chance he gets. He's continues to frame Clinton as incompetent, plus it keeps her emails in the playing field, something her campaign wishes would go away.

The biggest point I want to get across is that you shouldn't underestimate Trump, because many others have and now he's within striking distance of being president. Fingers crossed, hey
