I have listened to an hour of CNN commentary prior to the debate and not a word about the importance of her looking healthy.
* Trump should say that ending illegal immigration and reducing legal immigration will put the interests of the American people ahead of the interests of foreigners. Trump should say that Hillary Clinton sides with foreigners instead of the American people.
Women voters know that mass immigration and illegal immigration swamps schools, overwhelms hospitals, lowers wages and destroys cultural cohesion. Women voters know that mass immigration allows the infiltration of radical Islamic terrorists. Women voters know that mass immigration brings crime, infectious diseases and multicultural mayhem.
Trump might say: “Hillary Clinton and the Democrats want to erase the US border. Hillary Clinton and the Democrats want to give amnesty to 12 to 20 million illegal alien invaders. Hillary Clinton and the Democrats will leave the United States vulnerable to radical Islamic terrorism. I will defend and protect the United States of America.”
* All through the 2015/2016 Election season I’ve kept thinking… where have I seen this movie before? It finally hit me. Donald Trump IS Daniel Larusso. His rise in 2016 is the story of The Karate Kid.
We meet the main character first. Trump grew up just outside Manhattan. So did Daniel-san. Both have a personality that rubs a lot of people the wrong way. First impressions are hard for them. Frankly, so are second impressions. And third impressions. They make lots of social mistakes. And when you’re new, and you show up with a different look, people make fun of you.
In the beginning, outsiders like Trump/Daniel have to go it alone. It looks like a very long road. You know what the movie is about but it seems so unlikely. President/karate champ? At the outset, it seems impossible. I mean, they have flirted with politics/karate a little in the past. But they have no formal training. In the beginning, Trump/Daniel-san see one tenuous possibility for a special connection. They want Elizabeth Shue/voters to fall for them.
Now, Shue/voters used to date Johnny. Who is, of course, Hillary Clinton. Johnny/Clinton is a mean looking blonde who knows everything there is to know about karate/politics. Doesn’t matter. Trump/Daniel-san have to pursue that which they love…
For showing interest in Shue/voters, Trump/Daniel draw fire. Not just from Johnny/Clinton, but from the whole Cobra Kai Dojo/Political Establishment. Which is overseen, obviously, by John Kreese/the mainstream media. Theoretically, everyone in the dojo/Establishment should have a shot at winning, but Kreese/media clearly favors Johnny/Clinton. It seems odd that Kreese/media is giving Johnny/Clinton all these advantages. Why? Is it necessary? Isn’t Johnny/Clinton the best? Hmmm…
It’s particularly crazy that Kreese/media lock in on, and malign some long-shot outsider like Daniel/Trump early on. Johnny/Clinton becomes obsessed with Daniel/Trump too. Huge mistake. Instead of focusing on their own work (messaging and policy/karate) they waste energy heaping scorn on their rival. Is it really necessary to swarm this new guy on bikes in skeleton costumes/ writing endless op-eds about everything he says? No. It’s insane. But that’s just the way with Daniel/Trump. They’re the main character of any story they’re in. They’re magnetic somehow. Still. Clinton/Johnny seem poised to crush Trump/Daniel.
But Trump/Daniel-san have an ace in the hole. They glean wisdom from a mentor who had been in the arena before. Mr. Miyagi… and Ann Coulter. Coulter, like Miyagi, is a loner. And basically a wizard at sparring even though you’d never know it to look at them. These mentors instill values, and offer tactical advice that seems crazy to other experts in the field of politics/karate.
It starts, in both cases, with the construction of a big beautiful barricade. Paint the fence. Build the wall. In both cases, it’s getting done for cheap.
All the seemingly unrelated skills Trump/Daniel acquire through hard work ultimately translate to politics/karate. Waxing cars, sanding floors… managing a real estate empire, becoming a reality TV star… It all adds up. When the fighting starts in earnest, they are way more prepared than their enemy thinks. Than anyone thinks.
The Republican Primaries. The All Valley Karate Tournament? Same difference. It’s just Trump/Daniel shocking the world by plowing everyone in sight. Who saw it coming? Jeb! and Kasich, Fiorina. So many vanquished foes writhing on the floor. Utterly shocked at their humiliating defeats. It had to be a fluke right? Nope.
Daniel/Trump change the game with unconventional moves nobody has ever seen before. There’s a lot less feignting and jabbing and dancing around than all the other challengers.
But Trump and Daniel are very human. They’re vulnerable. Especially to dirty tricks. It’s hard to win a tournament when the biggest powerbroker in the sport (Kreese/media) hate your guts. They try to knock Trump/Daniel out any way they can. Gold star dad! Sweep the leg! David Duke! Put him in a body bag!!!
Trump/Daniel look wounded. Honestly, how can they still even be standing up? But these guys (Trump/Daniel) are just relentless. They love Shue/voters. And they see Shue/voters are starting to love them back. And it gives them strength.
They get in the arena, stand tough, square up, and after a brief misdirect… kick Johnny/Clinton straight in the face. Clinton/Johnny are basically out on their feet. They wobble and hit the deck. And just like that… it’s over. That’s what is about to happen tonight.
By the way, in the sequel, Daniel/Trump, having defeated all challengers in the States, go rep their country abroad… And they defeat Asians at their own game. Watch out, China.
