Trump Launches New Platform to Communicate With Followers

[SlugSlinger]

It is a blog currently. Hopefully, it will turn into a conversation platform. I suspect that's the plan, but who knows.

Problem for GOP is their message is a harder sell. Work hard, be responsible, small government, less regulations, vote for us.

Dems: want to sit on your a$$ and get paid for it? Vote for us.

Forgot the "you will not be held accountable for your actions" dem moto.

“One way communication”, there’s a message there. He did a lot of good, and I sure wish he was still POTUS.

But, it was his “communicating” that caused so many to come out against him. There may well have been various forms of fraud in the election, but there sure were a lot of folks that turned out to vote against him, no matter who his opponent was.

All that being said, I’m sure looking forward to following his platform.

And you really believe that LOL

I don't think the Trump "platform" is a blog either. The little experience I have with blogs is that they are a platform at which one can post thoughts and opinions or whatever and others can contribute or ask questions. From what I understand, Trump's platform does not allow comments.

Then maybe they should find a way, since they tell us how much better and smarter they are than the Dems all the time, to package that up in a way that sounds better and smarter than the Dems.

For instance, right now we have a predatory healthcare system that will bankrupt people or let them die when they can't pay for stuff. Obviously the Dems "tried" to "fix" that with OBummerCare, which was obviously just pandering to their overlords. So why not have Donald J. Trump come in at 45 and actually do anything about it? Then there could be an incentive to get a job to get insurance rather than sitting around right? You'd have real coverage! I mean sure that basically gives a power of life and death to your employer, but most people wouldn't see that would they? I just thank God every minute since he started his blog that it is going to bring real Hope and Change to the world and 100% won't continue to fracture the GOP into smaller segments that will be easier for the Dems to beat in upcoming elections.

There you go....
Regular updated? Check
One individual or small group? Check
Informal? Check
Conversational? Check.

No, there's no interaction such as contribution or questions on a blog. That would make it more of a platform. OSA is a platform for instance. Facebook is a platform.

Except the message here would be:

GOP: Free market healthcare options will lower your premium to manageable levels..
DEM: Free healthcare for everyone!

So, again, hard message to compete with.

Which party banned free market prescriptions and expanded medicare to include prescriptions? I'm forgetful these days...

First off, in the current system, I've yet to see the free market ever once result in a lowering of my premiums.
Secondly, it's not free.... it is on the other hand using the collective bargaining power of ~330 million people to get better service and rates. I mean, if buying in on a "group" insurance at work with 150,000 other employees gets a good rate, wouldn't buying in with 330,000,000 other Americans get a great rate.

Healthcare is a disaster in general. I think obamacare was by design an interim step to single payor. It took a cluster of a problem and made it much worse. To a point that I don't see a solution now.
