Debate prep reveals clash of styles for Clinton, Trump

Debate prep reveals clash of styles for Clinton, Trump | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Hillary Clinton is devouring briefing book after briefing book about Donald Trump's policy positions, personality and politics. She's watching highlight reels, taking notes and studying his style -- particularly when he's in attack mode.


Trump, meanwhile, is doing his thinking out loud -- mulling over policies and strategies in rolling conversations with top campaign aides and a band of informal advisers that includes Roger Ailes and Rudy Giuliani.


Less than four weeks from the first of three presidential debates -- on September 26 at Hofstra University in New York -- the candidates are preparing for an unpredictable, high-stakes night....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Will the first debate be vintage Trump or classic Clinton? I suspect insults will fly as the two wrestle in the mud. Unless moderators keep control, and why would they, it's gonna be great TV? No policies will be harmed nor insults left unhurled in this reality TV show. Who can resist watching?

A transcript of Donald Trump’s meeting with The Washington Post editorial board

A transcript of Donald Trump’s meeting with The Washington Post editorial board | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

The Republican frontrunner met with the editorial board on Monday morning. The full transcript follows at the link above:

 

FREDERICK RYAN JR., WASHINGTON POST PUBLISHER: Mr. Trump, welcome to the Washington Post. Thank you for making time to meet with our editorial board.

 

DONALD TRUMP: New building. Yes this is very nice. Good luck with it.

 

RYAN: Thank you… We’ve heard you’re going to be announcing your foreign policy team shortly… Any you can share with us?

 

TRUMP: Well, I hadn’t thought of doing it, but if you want I can give you some of the names… Walid Phares, who you probably know, PhD, adviser to the House of Representatives caucus, and counter-terrorism expert; Carter Page, PhD; George Papadopoulos, he’s an energy and oil consultant, excellent guy; the Honorable Joe Schmitz, [former] inspector general at the Department of Defense; [retired] Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg; and I have quite a few more. But that’s a group of some of the people that we are dealing with. We have many other people in different aspects of what we do, but that’s a representative group....

 

Jeff Domansky's insight:

I thought they had quit making episodes of the Twilight Zone. If you enjoy politics, this will keep you entertained. One lesson though for PR and public affairs pros. Who suggested he meet with an obviously hostile crowd? There was no possible win here for Trump given his lack of substance and who he was meeting. Recommended reading. 11/10   ;-)

Why Trump's spokeswoman wore a necklace made of bullets on TV

Why Trump's spokeswoman wore a necklace made of bullets on TV | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
Donald Trump's national spokeswoman Katrina Pierson explains why she wore a necklace made of bullets on live television.
Jeff Domansky's insight:

In the light of all of the gun violence in the US, this clip is a sad reflection of insensitivity, disregard for victims of violence, self-centeredness and shallow thinking by Trump's spokesperson. Typical.
