“shoot-from-the-hip”
“take-no-prisoners”
“Picking fights”
“target-rich environment”
“Stay on Target”
Donald Trump supporter, Ohio Republican CongressmanĀ Steve Chabot, sent out his weekly “Chabot for Congress” newsletter today using language of violenceĀ and an imageĀ with a large, bright red arrow pointing to Hillary Clinton’s head. Inside the arrow, it says, “Stay on Target”
The blog post isĀ titled, “Is The Trump Campaign Getting Back on Track?”
Cabot’s blog postĀ comes on the heels of Republican candidate for President, Donald Trump urging his Second Amendment supporters to take matters into their own hands if Hillary Clinton is elected and starts appointing the wrong judgesĀ to the Supreme Court. Trump saidĀ on August 9,Ā āBy the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I donāt know.ā
At the time, Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook responded to the Trump remark: “This is simple, what Trump is saying is dangerous. A person seeking to be the President of the United States should not suggest violence in any way.”

Trump also seems to be sticking to a more disciplined format in his speeches, even utilizing the hated teleprompter to accomplish this. His shoot-from-the-hip, take-no-prisoners style, which was so effective in front of a Trump-rally in a stadium, also got him into trouble over and over again. At this point, sticking to a message, and exploiting Hillary Clintonās weaknesses, is the only way to win this thing. Picking fights with reporters and gold star parents only steps all over his message. Heās running against Hillary, and to some extent Barack Obama, and thatās where his attention needs to stay focused.
And Hillary continues to provide a target-rich environment on which to focus the Trump campaignās attention.
