"Winning is everything"Trump's motto. It is a corrupt motivation for a presidential campaign.

When conducting a campaign against Donald J. Trump realize there is a great deal of corruption at work, in that, his message is not about policy he will pursue, but, based on populous opinion. He is a liar. Everyone knows that. He is at ease with lying to voters and he seeks information from them in order to lie well.

One of the techniques the Trump campaign relies on is opinion surveys. In Michigan, in 2016 the campaign MAILED surveys to voter rolls. He won Michigan by about 2 votes per district. The way he eeked out that 2 votes per district was to receive surveys back from every district and then CUSTOMIZING his message to them according to the survey results. It is ruthless and cruel to the voters, not in seeking their opinion, but, to lie them based on the survey results.

The Michigan opinion survey looked like a ballot. It is on this blog. There were columns whereby Hillary's picture was at the top to the right of Trump's picture. Then the voter filling out the survey was told the positions of the two candidates in a column on the left margin. The voter was to check off the candidate they liked best for all the issues presented in that left column. I don't recall any "asks" for a donation, so the voter when mailing back their survey was left to wonder what candidate asked for their opinion.

Trump's campaign is very manipulative. "Fake News" was actually a statement made by Clinton. It served Trump's best interest in creating his own communication network and he adapted it to his campaign. He is a "Trickier Dick" then Richard Nixon.
