President Donald Trump advised Congressional Republicans to move further to the right side of the political spectrum, noting that Democrats were moving further left.

“They have gone so far left, we have to go a little bit further right,” Trump told Republicans and donors at the National Republican Congressional Committee fundraising dinner on Tuesday night.

Trump remarked that Congressional Democrats were moving left on nearly every issue, just like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“These days, there’s no such thing as a Blue Dog Democrat, a Red State Democrat, or a Conservative Democrat because they are all Pelosi Democrats,” he said, calling them “way outside of the American mainstream.”

If you have Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola, how do you market a product that differentiates your brand so that it
will correctly position itself in the minds of consumers -- Don't create another "Cola", Create the UN-COLA.

In 1962, Avis was in search of a new advertising campaign. Since its inception, the car rental company had trailed behind the market leader, Hertz. So the ad agency Doyle Dane Bernbach decided to embrace Avis’ second-place status as a sneaky way to tout the brand’s customer service. “When you’re only No. 2, you try harder,” went the new tagline. “Or else.”

The “We Try Harder” ads were an instant hit. Within a year, Avis went from losing $3.2 million to earning $1.2 million—the first time it had been profitable in more than a decade. From 1963 to 1966, as Hertz ignored the Avis campaign, the market-share percentage gap between the two brands shrunk from 61–29 to 49–36. Terrified Hertz executives projected that by 1968 Avis might need a new ad campaign—because it would no longer be No. 2. They never insisted that they were number 1 ( futile at that time ).

It should be  obvious to a smart businessman that you should seek to differentiate yourself from your competition, be it in price or quality or market served.

Trump is saying “they own this side of the market and left this other one totally underserved. Yet you try to copy them and go after their core market. Fools, embrace the opening and win all the folks who feel left out! Stop fighting them for their 35% of the market and go secure our 45%!”

I find this statement rather hypocritical for a President that offered the left/DEM/DACA amnesty!
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

The 1.5 TRILLION Dollar Deficit Debt-Spending Republicans are going to go 'further right'??????

Yeah.... that'll happen. 

Sure.

Notice... that he avoided using the "C" word to describe the Democrats....

lest someone use the "F" word to describe the "moving further to the right" Republicans...lolol.

No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.

“That’s why we must tell the truth over and over again: A vote for a House Democrat is a vote for higher taxes, open borders, and the destruction of American jobs and American wealth. It’s also the destruction of the American Dream,” Trump said.

Love him or hate him ---  Donald Trump has remarkable political instincts. He boiled the winning political strategy down to four simple words in 2016.  Now the President's laid out another short, sweet and on target strategy for winning in 2018.

The GOP would do well to take his advice "over and over again" to the voters.

Except it's all bullshit - and we aren't buying what your party and president is selling.  1.5 trillion in deficit spending, Trumplican Care, the expansion of CAF, seize guns first, due process later...

Your spendaholic GOP is as drunk on expanding government power as much as the other bunch.

Might as well vote for Democrats.

Go ahead @INVAR ... vote for whomever you want.  It's your right, exercise it.  Turn the government back over to the democrats.   In fact, I dare you.

??? He promised to build a wall.   He promised no amnesty.  He promised repeal.  The GOP has not delivered on any of his campaign political strategies.  So exactly why should I believe that the GOP will take us more to the right?

After Trump won the presidency, Ryan got up and gave a wonderful (b.s.) speech of how the GOP had important work to do and that the Republican government was now unified and that their was now an opportunity to get things done ... blah, blah, blah.   

I declare b.s.

Sorry, you've made me LOL again. 

If the President could have turned these promises into reality with a phone and a pen, he would have done so.  But he cannot.

So now he's asking for help in packing the Congress with like-minded people ---- and giving the GOP the blueprint for such a victory.

As I said previously, I hope they listen to him.

I don't see a difference whatsoever.  IMO the Big Government oligarchy is still running the show to grow the State and spend us into oblivion.  Your party simply believes it can manage Socialist Collectivism better than the Marxists can.

Your party has rewritten the rules to prevent the grassroots from putting a solid Conservative into national races while your party leadership has told the Tea Party to shut up, sit down or get punched in the nose.

We're done with practicing insanity.  But I fully expect that you will do so, while trying to sell everyone on the desperate need to prevent the Democrats from gaining power, because your party will do the same shit instead, only wiser.

Actually, I see absolutely no humor in failed campaign promises.  Of course I know that he can't magically just use his pen and a phone.  It also shows exactly how naive he and his supporters actually are/were.  If you think that his failed promises aren't going to make a difference in 2018 you are sadly mistaken.

You're also fooling yourself if you honestly believe that he's going to be able to pack Congress with people more like-minded and more to the right; not as long as McConnell and the NRSC operate to benefit the DC swamp and same goes for Ryan.  The DC country club swamp is well intact.

It wasn't quite humor --- more a laugh or cry reaction to your post, and I chose laugh   @libertybele

The President cannot act on the things you want most because it's up to Congress to pass the budget and the laws.  That's the way our Constitution works.

The President needs a larger majority to override the GOP's NTs in the Senate.

It's this simple.

They already have control of it.  You're just too blind with Normalcy Bias to recognize it.

Most of them just put an 'R' after their name to bullshit you gullible types into thinking they are an opposition party to the BiG Government Democrats, when we have many years now to illustrate the fact that your party and the Democrat party are one and the same - just opposite sides of the same coin - good cop, bad cop.

Well, those of us with brains are done being snookered by the shell game your party plays and we are off your slave plantation.

@Right_in_Virginia
What @INVAR is trying to tell you but apparently your Trump earplugs are preventing you from hearing is that it doesn’t matter if we turn the country over to the dems....the repubs are just as bad.  They’re selling us down the river behind our backs rather than to our face like the dems do.

And if that’s the case:  A) our countrymen are wishing for it, there’s not a helluva lot we can do to stop it, and B) if it’s gotta happen, then let’s get it on...I’d rather I do the fighting and dying for my country than my sons.

However, INVAR, in this case what Trump is (only slightly) proposing here is the ONLY thing that could feasibly stop that and that is the Repubs actually start being conservatives and not just a different side to the same coin...if we had true conservative leadership, in numbers, then we could at least forestall what you and I fear is inevitable.  So I give him kudos for saying it, but there not a snowballs chance in hell.

The Republicans themselves will turn government over to the Democrats.  Thanks to their lies and broken promises, people who once voted for them will turn their backs. 

And Trump is not blameless.  As president he is in effect the party leader.  Instead of spending all his time on Twitter entertaining his fans with his stupid tweets, why is he not working with his own party to get things done?  Where is that supposed big boss macho man , art of the deal guy his PR tells us he is?    All I see is an immature bully who hides behind social media and sound bytes.  He does nothing, and when the Repubs don't live up to their promises, he just uses them as his scapegoats.

Sorry, but Trump shares the blame for any Republican losses occurring this year.

If you’re LOLing now, wait until November, if the House is lost.  After calling them Pelosi radicals all year, Trump will remind us how he’s been great friends with Dems his whole life and how he’s looking to work out great deals with them.  It’ll be a real knee-slapper.

Yeah, because the GOP has been so eager to get stuff done. I'm not sure I will notice a difference in DC with whoever is running congress next year.

Trust me @INVAR your point was made --yet again -- and gotten by all who read it.

If you had ever read my posts without your snark glasses, you'd know I do not agree with you and I refuse to be sucked into your vortex of political despair and defeat.

Hoping you have a productive day.
