The Fix

Last night I watched Trump's 100-day rally in Harrisburg, PA ... and then the round-table commentary on CNN (where Paul Begala called Trump a "moral midget" ... I suppose as compared to his old boss, Bill Clinton.) Anyhow, I, like many Americans, didn't like Trump's presentation style. He continues to strut and smirk in a pompous manner ... and heats up the rhetoric with uncomfortable, but valid attacks on the media and his Democrat opponents.

But don't get me wrong, I agreed with almost everything he said. I just wish he could say it with a little more finesse.

So I have a solution ... a way to fix the vitriol coming from the Left about anything and everything Trump. Here it is:

Here in Boston there is a furniture company, Bernie & Phyl's, that runs TV commercials using '40s and '50s B-movie clips in which the sound has be replaced by commercial voice overs. Very clever and effective.

So, in this same manner, I think Trump should fit his words into old Barack Obama speech footage ... and play this back to all Americans. Basically he would be fitting his hot rhetoric onto Obama's cool style. He could even throw in a number of  "folks" references and change some first-person plural pronouns to first-person singular ones to better match Obama.

That way he could appeal to those who worship Obama no matter what he says ... with his polished manner ... while still proposing fixes to the mess that his on-screen image had made of things. Americans would then have the best of both worlds ... Trump's right-on policies and Obama's suave personality. Much much better than the other way around.


Afterward: I sometimes suspect that a great many of  Trump's base actually like his rough edges ... as witnessed by his reception at his rally yesterday.
