THIS Is How You Win!

“I will cut the price of ENERGY and ELECTRICITY in HALF within 12 months. We will seriously expedite our environmental approvals, and quickly double our electricity capacity. This will DRIVE DOWN INFLATION, and make AMERICA and MICHIGAN the best place on earth to build a factory….” - Donald Trump, Twitter, October 10, 2024

It’s complete nonsense, but Kamala should learn from him - and fast.  

Has Kamala ever made such confident assertions, expressed such a bright vision for America, or promised the people that their future will be better?

Simply stated, no. Her pleading, plaintive voice, her continual references to her middle-class values, and her wonky policy proposals don’t reassure, much less inspire.

She’s got a few weeks to turn that around. We’ve heard her inspirational voice on occasion. She should use it every day from now through November 5.

Her policies in aggregate are designed to make the country better. But she’s got to say it, and say it loudly and clearly, every minute, every day, to the people who need to hear it - lower and middle class working stiffs, not just the ladies of The View or the smug youngsters of Stephen Colbert.

“Always Be Closing” is the salesman’s mantra. Trump lives it. Kamala seems afraid of it.

She should go to mega-churches, show up at NASCAR events, go on Joe Rogan, do interviews on Fox, and always, always, promise a great future.

If she promises a goal of affordable health care for everyone she can reach Bernie Bros and poor toothless slobs.

If she shoots a Glock- or even drives a car - she’ll trump Trump visually.

If she does serious interviews, she should stop weaseling out of answering questions on fracking and talk about a bright, all of the above policy that’ll bring us clean, cheap energy. On immigration, talk about the bipartisan approach that’ll make us secure and keep our economy strong.

Go Big! Make News!

And for God’s sake, take credit for the nation’s recovery from Trump’s recession and promise even more.

It’s not rocket science.

The country doesn’t want a lawyer. It wants a leader.

Trump is scum but he knows how to get a crowd and the country roaring.

Emulate him. At this late date, it’s the only way to win.
