Jon Favreau, former Obama speechwriter, has a really fine read about the upcoming presidential debates and the importance of the "stories" each candidate will be framing. In the case of neo- fascist con artist Donald "Rump" Trump, who he is and who he listens to (former Fox CEO Roger "Jabba the Nut" Ailes, Fox's Sean Hannity, Brietbart's Steve Bannon, conspiracy monger Alex Jones, etc.) make it pretty clear what "story" he'll be framing:
These right-wing media stars don’t sell their audiences conservatism, nationalism, populism, or any “-isms” at all. They are entertainers. They sell conspiracy and innuendo. They sell outrage and grievance. “The ideal CNN story is a baby down a well,” wrote Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi, “while the ideal Fox story is probably a baby thrown down a well by a Muslim terrorist or an ACORN activist.” If you have a problem in your life — if you’re scared or anxious or feel that you’ve been treated unfairly — people like Hannity and Drudge and outlets like Breitbart tell you where to direct your blame. They tell you who deserves your suspicion. And it’s always people who are different than you — either they’re richer, more powerful, and therefore corrupt, or they don’t look like you, pray like you, speak like you, or come from where you do.He has good advice (don't we all?) for Hillary Clinton (but you need to go over to his piece to read it!).
