What to say to that 10-13 percent that may still not be sure about Trump.

Last edited Fri Aug 31, 2018, 03:12 PM - Edit history (1)

Lets be honest. 20 to 25 percent will never leave Trump. So if we can get it down to 22 percent approval and 78 percent not approval, we will have enough to impeach and convict Trump..

Therefore if now there is 38 percent that approve..and we want to get it down to 22 percent, then how do we convince that last 13- 16 percent that to save the U.S.A.? We need to unite and get rid of Trump.

Three Facts could convince those who may turn. Just 3 ...can convince those who may have doubt and are open to listening. And just one short question about those three.
______________________________________________________________________________________

1. Trump's personal lawyer has plead guilty to felony crimes and is going to jail. He has bargained with the prosecutor and pleaded guilty. Michael Cohen.

2. A leader of Trumps campaign for President has been found guilty by a jury of felony charges by a jury and will go to jail... Paul Manafort

3. Trump always says he has no connection to any of these events, and that he is "innocent" and has and "he has done nothing wrong."

After stating those three facts, please ask just one question. Short and clear and that question is this, "Do you believe that Mr. Trump lies about a whole lot and could he be lying about number three?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Those people that are open to listening will listen. They will conclude as we have that Trump is a liar and he is lying about the statement, "He has done nothing wrong."... I believe with those 3 simple facts, we can convince those who still have an open mind that Trump is lying about, "I have done nothing wrong."

We really don't know who the open minded people are, so we must have short conversations with those who might be open to changing their opinion on Mr. Trump. Yes, we can get that 38 percent down to 22 - 25 percent. Then, impeachment and removal will be more than possible. One more idea. Please. no loud arguments no matter what the other person or persons say. Just repeat those 3 as calmly and softly as possible. Then ask the question.. Then be quiet.. Present the truth. Repeat, slowly quietly, and then say nothing.. Yes, many will still change their minds, but the true, deep down believers won't change their minds. We need to try, and not give up.

The systemic oppression of minorities is also why they are not getting ahead. There is a group of very poor whites out there, who are often the most ridiculous of conservative supporters, who are truly harmed by fundamental and systemic government oppression. They are collateral damage in the war against minorities. I have often thought they should be one of our strongest voting blocks. They are one of our worst.

That 38% mentioned is not monolithic and are of the more stubborn kind.

government to subject them in ways they do not understand. For example: The recent tax cut for the rich, that was work of the corporate elite that worked within government to feed themselves. It may look like a tax cut, but it is only for the rich. A few crumbs to the rest, but only a few crumbs..
There are all kinds of stubborn people out there that do not understand the conservatives are not out for the U.S. but only out for themselves. The questions in the original post, are meant to tear that crap away, and get to the heart of the matter. The rich are the ones going to jail. The rest of us are watching on TV having some popcorn. Trump is the "rich, corporate, elite ", and some of his favorites will go to jail. But like other in his stall, he doesn't care about the next one over. He only cares about eating his own hay, and getting a few treats from time to time. That is why, the questions in the OP. Who is going to jail, and who does Trump care about?..The words, "I have done nothing wrong." prove that Trump cares only about the "I" word. Not the people who are going to jail. That is what Trump always has been and will always be.
