So, I find the following plea from Donald J. Trump in my inbox this morning:
Ann,
In 8 days, I get the honor of fighting for you in the first presidential debate against Crooked Hillary Clinton.
To prepare for the BIGGEST night of our campaign, I'm turning to the very people who have humbled me and gotten me to where I am today...YOU.
As your champion, I need to know what you want me to fight for on that stage. I want you to be confident that I defend the issues you care about. I want to make you proud, Ann.
Which is why I'm asking you to take the TRUMP Debate Preparation Survey now. >>
I asked my campaign manager, Kellyanne, to commission this survey to our strongest supporters - the people who will be the reason we WIN this debate against Hillary Clinton.
Ann, this debate isn't even about me. I'm only going on stage to be your voice. This debate is a fight between the American people and the political machine that Crooked Hillary represents.
We get the chance to compare - side-by-side - our vision of a freer, safer, and more prosperous America with Hillary's promise to bring four more years of Obama's failures.
I want your honest input. If you disagree with something, tell me you disagree. Look, I never made it in business surrounding myself with people who tell me what I want to hear. Our campaign is about telling it like it is - and that's not changing. Not now. Not ever.
With the debate coming up FAST, I'll need your input IMMEDIATELY.
Please take the TRUMP Debate Preparation Survey now. >>
Thank you,
Donald J. Trump
I don’t know why I got this. I don’t know how he got my E-Mail address. I’ve never voted for or donated to a Republican since my first misguided vote for Richard Nixon in 1972 and dealing with some reasonable Republicans in the 70’s and 80’s. But, I guess he wants my opinion. And maybe ours. Here’s the direct link to check out his form and see what opinions he really cherishes:
