An unsourced tweet is not news. Zero chance this is true.
Please provide your source that establishes that zero chance.
If not, you are doing the exact thing you are attacking and it makes you a world class hypocrite.
why does it matter whether or not it is true?
if Trump can convince independents that ABC cheated to help Harris, that helps his campaign.
It's not like Democrats don't stand up and say things that are unsourced and provably untrue to win elections. Why shouldn't we do the same. Do we want to be right, or do we want to win?
Can't agree with this. I'd prefer to be right than win or be popular.
And in either regard, these type of shenanigans make the campaign lose credibility with the American people. Ultimately they will hurt Trump when Americans believe nothing he says can be trusted.
Doesn't seem to hurt the credibility of Democrats. Why should it hurt the credibility of their opponents?
Because the MSM is running cover for the Democrat party. Republicans should know the spotlight is focused on them, in any misstep will be spun by the mainstream media. That being the case we have to behave differently.
And in either regard, I don't want to be like the Democrats. I'd prefer to be the party that speaks truth.
translation: I'd rather be right than win.
LOL. It is madness t to conform to the battlefield offered by your opponent. We should build our own platforms to push the messages that benefit us. That includes undermining the credibility of the MSM, by making sure THEY are put on trial for insisting things like this are not happening:
So, lie like Democrats, and have the media point out that you're an obvious liar?
How has that worked out for Trump thus far? Not well by my book.
dude. they're going to call you a liar no matter what you say, invent ways to call you racist/sexist/this-or-that-aphobic no matter how your couch your opposition or how easily provable as truth it might be. So make EFFECTIVE arguments.
Notwithstanding the hand-wringing by the wizards of smart, Trump appears to have made highly effective arguments in the debate. Somehow, he's got the whole country focused on a perfect microcosm of the illegal immigration problem that is one of the three driving issues of this election cycle.
The template for how he does it is pretty clear. He makes an inflammatory statement in clear violation of political correctness, which ends up inviting fact checking that focuses attention right where attention needs to be focused. Perhaps the initial allegation is thin or hyperbolic to modest degree. But the facts discovered in the arguments are highly damaging to his opponents. There are a metric ****-ton of a single nationality in a small, Great Lakes region city that's been hollowed out by globalism and now finds itself undergoing precisely the kind of social chaos that uncontrolled immigration causes. And their taxes were used to cause it all.
The state of affairs in Springfield OH might not be an earth-shaking issue in most of the country. But they are going to move needles in places like PA, MI, WI, etc.....rust belt states who see examples of similar kinds of problems all over the place.
