As Democrats spar on the debate stage this week, the president’s campaign will be unleashing dozens of Donald Trump backers on the airwaves in 2020 swing states, blasting out any embarrassing moments on social media and dispatching talking points to ensure everyone stays on message.
It’s all part of a robust response Team Trump has rapidly pulled together in recent weeks for the Democrats’ first presidential primary debate, which will stretch over Wednesday and Thursday nights. The strategy includes traditional elements — a rapid-response squad to field reporters’ questions, round-the-clock talking points and a ground force on site in Miami, where the debate is being held — but also a digitally focused war room looking for viral clips. Outside groups that support the president have also built up their own fact-checking resources and made large pre-debate ad buys, hoping to capitalize on the massive cable news audience the two-night primetime event is expected to attract.
But now, as the incumbent, Trump has the entire GOP apparatus behind him and a campaign that has been building itself out since the day Trump entered the Oval Office. And while much of the public’s attention will be trained on whatever barbs Trump makes on Twitter during the debates, it’s his 2020 operation that will be doing the heavy lifting to try and knee-cap his potential opponents.
Murtaugh and two other senior campaign aides, Kayleigh McEnany and Marc Lotter, will be on the ground in Miami to direct surrogates and do television appearances themselves before and after each debate. Four dozen more surrogates, organized by the RNC, will be stationed in remote TV studios across the U.S. to respond in real time to the high-stakes battles between 20 of the 24 Democratic candidates vying to unseat Trump. Each will be equipped “with talking points and rapid-response materials during the debates,” according to an RNC official.
Other organizations also plan to use the debates to push out ads and fact sheets portraying the 2020 Democrats as embracing policies Rust Belt voters find unappealing. For instance, the Republican super PAC America Rising announced Monday that it will launch a live blog “to fact check the Democratic candidates, remind you of their records, and share commentary from across social media” during each debate.
And March for Life, an anti-abortion group that maintains close connections to the White House, will run a six-figure ad buy Wednesday on MSNBC, the network hosting both debates this week. The 60 second spot will attempt to show “how out of touch the Democratic Party establishment has become with Democratic voters” on abortion, according to a press release obtained by POLITICO.
Trump offered his own assessment of the Democratic field ahead of the debates this week, suggesting the two-night event could attract higher ratings than the 2016 Republican primary debates because “there’s curiosity to see how bad” it goes.
“I’m looking for nothing in that debate. I guess it’s really a big race to who can give away the most and who can raise taxes the most,” he told The Hill......snip~

Ahahahaha…..Demos are going to get a dose of their own Medicine. The RNC has money and the DNC is in Debt. Trump is prepared and is just waiting to tweet.
Hopefully Trump supporters and those on the Right will descend on Miami and let MSDNC the Demos and their Borg Drone following hear it.
