Having previously written about the issue of three major Chinese EV makers putting massive investment into production facilities, the remarks by President Trump in Ohio warning of a “bloodbath” in the auto industry are exactly accurate.

No one who watches the mass media think of the auto industry with regard to Trump's "bloodbath" comment.

Case in point:
My mother said "if Trump wins he is going to kill millions of people. He even said so. He's going to create a bloodbath."


I wonder how she would have gotten THAT idea? /sarcasm

Biden is just brain dead. But Trump, he gives me headaches when he speaks.
His handlers need to tell him to STFU
if they won't, the voters will

Perhaps so, but whatever Trump says in a crowded stadium the participants cheer!
People eat up bombastic, pro-patriot words, insults to the opposition, much like the smack-talk between Pro-Wrestlers (how often have WE called this Bread & Circus?)
Honest to God, I've despised with extreme prejudice two names in Government since the 70's: Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden, so if the anti-Christ was running for Office, I'd vote for him over those two shit-stained assholes.
"Lesser of two..." "Party Lines"...et..al, I don't care there is NOTHING the Media can say or do that would make me vote for Biden and by default Obama.

What people forget is the candidates ain't campaigning for voters who hoot and holler at their rallies, they are campaigning for those voters who at this point have no idea who to vote for.
It's the independents that in theory elect canidates
They have to appeal to them, and if they get those voters to listen without making jackasses out of themselves, they have a chance to win

The difference is that Biden's handlers are the ones that run the show. He does what they tell him, goes where they say, etc...

I doubt "handlers" is even the right word for the guys around Trump. They certainly aren't in charge of what he says or does.

Years ago I was told that 30% of the population is unwaveringly Pro-Gun, 20% Anti, and the remaining 50% sits on the Fence...
Democrats invariably vote Democrat, matters not who they trot out, and during debates they are as vicious and vilifying to their own as any enemy could possibly be, but once a victor among them is found, they all rally behind the pack leader....Republicans either refuse to vote out of principle or just hold their noses, or once in a while throw out "the better man" card.

Pep rallies have value.

It's true that all the people going to the rallies were going to vote for Trump regardless.

But, what *else* they do is also valuable. All those millions of rallygoers can persuade the independents around them.

So, you're not trying to convince Joe plumber in the MAGA hat to vote for you. You're getting him to convince his apprentice, and his buddies at the bar, and you're arming him with talking points to use to convince them.
