Protest in Tulsa plays RIGHT into the mad-maniplular's
(tiny) hands. Their big news... "horrible. horrible" people outside."
I have never seen a more masterful but sinister display of spin, ever. Just like the Netflix documentary chronicled in NYC, he is the master at personal PR. IMHO, if you want to be honest, we are in for a huge uphill climb here. How do you fight against utter unabashed lies and spin and mistruths? Say everything is great, but if you pull away, and think big picture, unless someone hires some brilliant ad men and psychiatrists and media savvy and great strategists, we are in for 4 more horrible years.

I stand my point: Had Hillary won a MAJORITY of the vote, she would be president today.
She did not. That little bit of vote that went third party is what killed her. The whole point is that Trump only became president because Hillary could only win a plurality of the vote in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. |

4. So far the protest is peaceful. People are yelling, but its not violent
A trump fan at the rally was asked what he thought about the protesters there- His answer was he was in Paris for the yellow vest protests and this does not even compare to that. He said the only thing he had a problem with was being pepper sprayed. He had a problem with law enforcement, not the protesters. So even that narrative looks like it is going to backfire

39. The minds he manipulate are already manipulated.
What the story will be is that Trump held a rally, despite a pandemic, where six of his staffers tested positive, and instead of having a packed house, like he was so used to in 2016, half the arena sat empty.
Oh and the President proved he could drink water. Trust me. No one, outside the inner-circle of Trump's deranged fan base, is talking about 'very bad people'. Here's some headlines when you search 'Tulsa': BBC News: Donald Trump: Tulsa rally fails to draw expected crowds amid virus fears NBC News: A rambling Trump returns to campaign trail with routine speech to smaller-than-expected crowd The Guardian: Don't call it a comeback: Trump's Tulsa rally was just another sad farce Yahoo! News: Trump back in rally form in Tulsa, but the promised crowd doesn't show Financial Times: Trump relaunches campaign before reduced crowd in Tulsa Washington Post: Trump gives grievance-filled speech to unfilled arena as protests stay mostly peaceful Bloomberg: Trump Reboots Rallies in Tulsa With Smaller Crowd Than Promised You get the idea. This went way better for Biden than I could have ever imagined. Tonight was a disaster for Trump. |

66. I would totally agree if approval #s were stable. But they have not been.
he has steadily ticked down in the last month. Getting him close to 40 is what we need to offset rigging/suppression. If he gains support back up to 45 he can explain away a manufactured "win".
Hope this recent dip holds. Hope you are right and I am wrong. |

22. True. But if you listened to him it is very obvious that we are
seeing a master manipulator that we (Biden team) need to be prepared for. And it won't take typical political savvy, it will take big guns. How do you fight against utter lies and spin? Zero truth?
BTW, listened to rw talk before rally since only network showing it before it started. The main talking points will be: 1) never ran anything 2) beholden to CC companies in DE 3) can't effectively communicate, dis oriented. 4) never had a unique idea. NOT pushing or agreeing. Not pushing right wing talking points...just pointing out what THEY will say against our candidate and we had better be prepared. |

91. Well, yes, you ARE pushing RW talking points
I mean, you LITERALLY are watching some unnamed RW source and running here to post how Biden sucks and will lose. That is literally pushing RW talking points. Literally.

112. I was watching Dipshits rally which on Fox. I was interpreting what he
Was saying, acting, spewing, to try and understand how to counteract a VERY dangerous opponent. If we don't figure out how to combat outright lies we could very well lose. Never ever said Biden sucked! Hell I have been on his team since day 1. Never has to switch from anyone else.

But we also have a pandemic and civil unrest.He is going to lose.

But Joe can handle himself. He will be prepared by the best.

It's not all that bad. I do agree with you the smart move for protesters would have been to totally ignore Tulsa.

His rally was a flop. He is being mocked everywhere Of course not on Fox. He had less than 10000 folks when he predicted a million.
And he came out and said he wanted less testing. I know some people are totally traumatized by him but tonight was a great night. He is the butt of the joke. |

109. Just read it... Extremely pointed. If you watched his speech
You come away with an overriding impression.... We are not dealing with anything close to a normal opponent and should adjust asap if we want a chance to win. I don't know how - but hopefully psychiatrists do? There is zero truth to what he says, zero. And he can take any huge pile of crap and spin it into gold. It means he can also completely lie about his opponent.
It was very scary to watch and listen to him. An anomaly of a human being. Normal, typical methods, truthful broadcasts and news reports are but a mere minor bump in the road for him to manipulate and create lies to counteract. |

Yep, he is a dangerous crazy manipulator, but he is not a master of anything. Nothing played into his hand or the right wingers hand with the protest.
