BlueVirginia got hold of an emailed Trump campaign "poll" to his supporters, a poll in which he asks his various baskets of deplorables what Donald Trump ought to say in the upcoming debates. It is standard fundraising fare, another reminder to his hardcore fans that he feels their hardcoreness so long as their checks keep clearing, with probing questions like:
Do you think Trump should refer to Hillary as “Crooked Hillary” on stage?
Should Trump call out Hillary’s reluctance to say “radical Islamic terrorism” and her underlying fear of being politically incorrect?
Should Trump contrast his tell-it-like-it-is attitude with Hillary’s running list of lies, corruption, and deceit?
Should Trump focus on his own experience living the American Dream, and his desire to make it accessible for ALL Americans?
To be honest, the whole thing is a bit disappointing. Here Donald Trump has access to many of the most addled minds in America, people who after an entire year of watching Donald Trump on the campaign trail still actually support the man, and these are the only questions his team could come up with? We could come up with better questions for Donald Trump supporters in the span of five minutes. Here, let's do that:
• Should Donald Trump reserve a portion of the debate time for talking about the size of his various extremities and appendages?
• During the debates, the moderator may ask questions about foreign affairs, domestic affairs, or other details about the state of the world and what should be done about it. Should Donald Trump deflect such questions with a two-minute speech about his personal financial genius, or a two-minute speech rating the physical appearances of each of each of his children?
• Do you believe Hillary Clinton was born in the United States? We don't have any evidence to suggest otherwise, but for a donation of just five dollars we'd be willing to run with it.
• On a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 indicates that you have no desire to live and 5 indicates that you love your family very much and do not want to see them slowly starve in an underground bunker because of your own incompetence, how likely would you be to buy Donald Trump-branded survival seeds for surviving the upcoming apocalypse?
• The same question, but for Donald Trump-branded Survival Gravy.
• Would you be willing to give Donald Trump five dollars right now? In the field provided, please write your home address; a car will be by shortly to pick up your donation.
Come on now, Donald. You've only got two months left to squeeze these people dry. You've got to get cracking.
