I was writing this to a friend, then I thought, hell, I will send this to EVERYONE. First let me say, I am nobody special, in fact I would say that I very likely have never been the smartest one in the room. I freely admit that. Please listen to me. Reality. No chance to beat Trump...head to head, right? None. BUT THERE IS! Here goes. The election commitee, or Democratic party, or whoever it is..had better change tack. Beginning yesterday, start looking Biden voters straight in the eye, respect their intelligence and start a new message. Find some way to tell it like it is, and not make Joe Biden the focus. This election will not be for Joe Biden or Donald Trump , but for the advisors around them Admit the truth of it, but there is no need to embarrass the president. The tactic is simple, speak truth. Both men are up in age and both will absolutely need to lean on their advisors. So, we are voting for a president AND his team of advisors. For the next 4 months..the best visual to go with is the split screen. Trump on the left, using images like we have all seen tacked up on the big board...the organized crime pyramid.Trump on top, under him- Bannon, Hannity, Navarro, Stone, Flynn, Stephen Miller, Lewandowski..and everyone else that was sentenced to jail from his administration. On the other side of the screen..Joe Biden at the top, below his image..his cabinet and Departnent heads. Many Americans may not know them, so ask them to simply familiarize themselves with who they are, then compare. Joe knows what he's doing, but he will need a lsound advice, as goes for every president Who wouldn't at his age?Trump on the other hand does NOT know what he's doing, and have a look at who will be advising HIM. The choice is the same as it was before the debate.But with Trump's circle of liars and lawbreakers, there still is only one choice. Period. The sweetest part of this new strategy is that we diffuse immediately all the new talking points coming from FOX and the Right having to do with Biden's performancec at that debate. They will have to change their narrative. And really, what defense could they have for that image of the boss and his crime family. Trump wants to be Al Capone, let him. Maybe Trump voters will come to see and understand, the vote for Trump is a vote for his band of liars and criminals. Is that what they really want for their country. Do they seriously believe those people have THEIR best interest at heart? Is that what they want for their children? Well, there it is. I say to Democratic leaders..We are intelligent. Please talk to us that way. I think it's the winning strategy. What choice do you have now?

[@donnakager5453]

[@EstevanValladares]

I am not from the USA, but having lived "clown politics" in my own country, and others (I have lived during clown politics abroad too), actually I think the best thing right now for the USA is to have Trump back, and not because I think he is a good person, but because I know he is a bad one. The USA people must be taught a lesson that only Trump, right now, in the situation it is, coming after someone like Biden, can teach. I am sure that if Trump wins, and governs as he might, the USA will understand once and for all the whole lot of fantasy and cultural generated blindness it has been living. Like in Brazil for example it took bad stuff for most people to learn that the "Brazilian way" was referring to dishonesty and theft rather than a "cultural aspect". The Sri Lanka people took a Mahinda to learn how traditional values can be exploited by bad people. USA, Argentina, Canada, UK, they are all yet needing a really BAD presidency to learn the lessons they are refusing to learn on how their culture fabricates the maladies they suffer. Trump is not the president the country of the USA need, it is the president the people of the USA need.
