Again, not as bullish, I haven't switched to bear, I'm still calling it a buy at this point, but simply more reserved about it, I wasn't expecting Morning in America right out of the gate, but I don't think MSM Stalingrad is neccessary, nor particularly productive.StCapps wrote:Nah. He's hammering home a clear advantage and won't slow down until he starts seeing those diminishing returns. I haven't seen any sign of diminishing returns yet and neither does Trump apparently, if he did, he'd switch the strategy as you suggest and I would advise mixing it up as well. If ain't broke don't fix it.Smitty-48 wrote:Well, as I said, if that is the case, then I'm not as bullish as I was, because I think this is having dimishing returns now, he's overplaying the media war hand.

Re: THE ERA OF TRUMP
He'll switch it up once it stops yielding dividends. He's not a one trick pony, look how he made buddies with all the New York tabloids after they dragged his name through the mud for years. He'll switch it up when he senses it's time to do so, bet that. Be more bullish, it's totally warranted.Smitty-48 wrote:America right out of the gate, but I don't think MSM Stalingrad is neccessary, nor particularly productive.

Re: THE ERA OF TRUMP
I'll get more bullish about it, when he switches it up, wait out. He's not in any way, a proven quantity, I'm not getting bullish, at the behest of his cheerleaders, don't tell me, show me.StCapps wrote:He'll switch it up once it stops yielding dividends.

Re: THE ERA OF TRUMP
Alright fine, but he's done it in the past, why would he abandon that strategy when he knows it works, it's just all about timing? Just remember that I saw it coming before he even did it, based on his personal history, unlike some who couldn't extrapolate his actions beyond current trends.Smitty-48 wrote:I'll get more bullish about it, when he switches it up, wait out.StCapps wrote:He'll switch it up once it stops yielding dividends.

I get called a partisan hack from both teams. My left leaning friends think I'm freakishly to the right. My right leaning friends think I'm freakishly to the left.Smitty-48 wrote: I don't think Kath is always wrong, she's partisan, but even a partisan clock is right twice a day.
I call it validation I'm truly in the center.

I make no predictions, I simply wait and see, what I'm seeing so far, is not that impressive, when it gets more impressive, I'll get more impressed.StCapps wrote:Alright fine, but he's done it in the past, why would he abandon that strategy when he knows it works, it's just all about timing?

Well, one assumes that the center would be partisan against the GOP, since they are hardly in the center, bunch o' Jesus juice huffing right wing kooks, yo.

Re: THE ERA OF TRUMP
Exactly the Democrats are far closer to the center than Republicans yet Kath thinks that means she hates both sides equally.Smitty-48 wrote:Well, one assumes that the center would be partisan against the GOP, since they are hardly in the center, bunch o' Jesus juice huffing right wing kooks, yo.
Sure you do Kath, you aren't biased at all.....

Re: THE ERA OF TRUMP
Interesting insight from Dick Morris of all people:
Conservatives and liberals fought for decades over what should be the right scope of government, i.e. should we have large or small government..
Trump swept into power fighting over the role of government, i.e. does the government serve the interests of the American people first, before the interests of globalists, corporations, and foreigners.
We all realized this implicitly, but to really lay it out helps to show why he faced opposition from everywhere. His only real support came from the American people.
Expect the media and corrupt politicians to do everything possibe to reframe politics in terms of scope rather than role, because when you talk about the role of government, they lose.
Something to consider...
