Let Trump Be Trump

Let Trump Be Trump

Making Sense by Michael Reagan

For months we’ve been hearing complaints from the pundits that Donald Trump has not given us a clear idea about how he plans to defeat ISIS.

The TV pundits —- left and right —-are frustrated because Trump won’t say whether he’d use American ground troops.

He won’t even automatically take the use of nukes off the table.

Their complaints remind me of what Ronald Reagan did during the 1980 election against Jimmy Carter.

The pundits did the same thing to my father that they’re doing to Trump. They never stopped asking him during the campaign what he was going to do to solve the Iran hostage crisis.

But he did the right thing. He never said anything.

The liberals spent the whole 1980 campaign saying Ronald Reagan was a war monger and he was going to turn Iran into a glass parking lot with nuclear weapons.

You never saw a speech when he denied any of their most idiotic concerns because he didn’t given one. My father was smarter than the pundits were.

He knew you should never forewarn your adversaries what your plans were.

So he never said anything. He just let the liberals scare the Iranians and the world with all the things he might or might not do as president.

Everyone gives my father credit for the hostages going free on the day he was sworn in, and they should. But one reason they went free was because he kept the Iranians guessing.

They never did know whether he’d nuke them until he didn’t.

I find it interesting this election year that the right and the left keep asking the same questions of Trump. What will he do to defeat ISIS?

But the real story shouldn’t be what Trump might do. It should be what Hillary Clinton won’t do.

To appease her voters and liberal friends in the media, she’s already said she won’t use ground troops. I’m sure the monsters who run ISIS were relieved to hear that.

In the debates on Monday night I hope Trump doesn’t make the mistake of coming up with his plan to take care of ISIS.

I want him to come out with that plan after he becomes president.I want it to be a surprise for MSNBC and ISIS.

I want Trump to tell us nothing. It’s a no-brainer. When you go out to play an NFL game Sunday, you don’t give your game plan to the other team beforehand and then wonder why you keep losing.

The left spends too much time wanting to give the game plan to the other team and then they’re surprised when we lose.

Another thing I don’t want to hear from Trump in the debate on Monday is a whole lot of specific talk about policy.

The 100 million people who are going to watch the most watched debate in world history are going to be looking to see who is the most presidential.

They won’t be looking for the best policy wonk. If Trump starts talking about policy, you’ll hear millions of TVs turning off.

In my father’s first debate with Mondale in 1984 he was absolutely terrible because his advisers filled him with too much policy information.

In the second debate, they didn’t do that. They let Reagan be Reagan. And he won the second debate with ease.

On Monday, Trump needs to show some self-control but most of all he just needs to be Trump. If he does that he should win the debate because Hillary can never stop being Hillary.

Eagles Finish Strong At Purdue

0

The University of Southern Indiana men’s tennis team was in West Lafayette, Indiana, over the weekend, where they participated in the Purdue Invitational.

Freshman Denis Davydov (Chorvatsky Grob, Slovakia) advanced to the semifinals in Flight D, winning his first two matches before falling in the semis in three sets 4-6, 7-5, 2-6.

Also in Flight D, junior Samuel Kiladejo (London, England) won his first match before being defeated in three sets in the quarterfinals. He then rebounded to win his consolation match 7-6(1), 6-2.

In doubles Flight B, Kiladejo and Davydov won their first round match 6-4, but came up short in the quarterfinals 3-6. Doubles Flight A saw the pair of senior Aaron Barris (Marietta, Georgia) and sophomore James Hardiman (Backwell Bristol, United Kingdom) bounce back after losing their first two matches to win their consolation match 6-1.

With the fall schedule concluded, the Screaming Eagles will not return to the court until March 25, when they travel to the University of Illinois Springfield for a GLVC matchup.

Eagles blast Flyers, 3-0

0

The University of Southern Indiana men’s soccer team blasted Lewis University, 3-0, Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field. USI watched its record rise to 7-1-0 overall and 5-1-0 in the GLVC, while Lewis falls to 1-7-0, 0-6-0 GLVC.

At 7-1-0 overall, the Screaming Eagles have tied the 1982 squad for the best start in the history of the program. The 1982 team, the only Eagles men’s soccer team to advance to the NCAA Division II Tournament, began its season 6-0-2.

USI also has won five matches in a row, just two short of the program record of seven that was reached by the 1990 and 1991 teams that won GLVC championships.

Eagles’ junior forward Kyle Richardville (Vincennes, Indiana) kicked off the scoring for USI at 19:41. Richard gave USI a 1-0 lead on his third goal of the year and was assisted by freshman midfielders Sean Rickey (Columbia, Illinois) and Adam Becker (Columbia, Illinois).

USI saw its lead extended to 2-0 on a tally by freshman forward Eric Ramirez (Vincennes, Indiana) at 24:56. Ramirez, who increased his team-leading goal total to six, was assisted on the goal by freshman defender Justin Brooks (Fishers, Indiana).

After USI carried the 2-0 lead through halftime, Rickey gave the Eagles an insurance goal at 56:23 off a pass from Richardville to give the match its eventual final score of 3-0. The goal was Rickey’s fourth of the season.

Between the posts for the Eagles, junior goalkeeper Adam Zehme (Orland Park, Illinois) recorded his second shutout and his career-high seventh win of the fall. Zehme needed to make just one save in facing three Flyer shots.

USI hits the road next weekend when it travels to Saint Joseph’s College Friday and the University of Indianapolis Sunday. Match time versus Saint Joseph’s in Rensselaer, Indiana, is set for 7:30 p.m., while kick-off at UIndy in Indianapolis is slated for 1:30 p.m. (CDT).

The Eagles return to the friendly surroundings of Strassweg Field October 7 when they start a home weekend against William Jewell College. USI concludes the short two-match homestand October 9 when it hosts Rockhurst University.

EVANSVILLE LOVES THE 90S

0

Nostalgia filled Ford Center this evening with some of the 90s favorites. Tone Loc, Rob Base, Coolio, Color Me Badd, Salt N Pepa with Spinderella and Vanilla Ice performed for a sold out crowd. The Ford Center turned into a party with a DJ between all acts. Each artist and band interacted with the crowd by inviting them up to the stage and/or jumping down from the stage to go walk through the aisles.

“Evansville really got behind this show and you could feel the energy from all the excitement in every performance,” stated Ford Center’s Executive Director, Scott Schoenike.

Continuing Ford Center’s five-year anniversary celebration is NBA Indiana Pacers VS Milwaukee Bucks – October 12, Florida Georgia Line – October 14, Alabama October 20, UE Men’s and Women’s Basketball and the first season for Ford Center’s new hockey tenant, Thunderbolts.
