seasoned Republican strategist who worked on Ronald Reagan’s campaigns and also advised Reform Party candidate Ross Perot in the early 1990s has some advice for former President Donald Trump: Stop focusing on legal issues and concentrate all his efforts on exposing President Joe Biden’s horrible record.

In an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, strategist Ed Collins responded to her remark that the race between Trump and Biden is close and that a third-party candidacy by left-wing professor Cornel West and Democrat-turned-Independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could sway the election.

“A lot of polls show a narrow margin between Trump and Biden. Could either of these candidates one of them the election, West or RFK Jr.?” Ingraham asked.

“Sure, everybody has to be were just aware today that there is real polarization in the country. And people don’t particularly like the parties, so parties don’t have — they’re not growing, they’re not prospering, people are like going on a registering,” Rollins began. “And to a certain extent, you’re going to have two candidates running again. I think it’s going to [be] Biden and I think it’s going to be Trump. But the country does not necessarily want, neither party doesn’t want — and Biden’s numbers as an incumbent president are terrible.

“So anybody that takes 3, 4, 5 percent away, can make a big difference. You’re not going to beat them in the head-to-head, but you certainly can affect a tight electoral college, which I assume since we’ve run the same election twice, and literally one time Trump won by a little more than 50,000 votes, the second time maybe 100,000 votes. So you’re really talking a very narrow focus here,” he continued.

Then Ingraham asked: “Ed, if you were advising both candidates. Let’s start with Trump, I mean, you’re one of the last great campaign managers alive in the United States. What would you say to Donald Trump now, given these external factors that are also coming into play?”

“I would tell him to run, do his court stuff, perform in any way shape, or form he wants to. He has a ton of lawyers, and they have to advise him,” Rollins responded. “And then go out and campaign on the things he has [as] president, talk about what he accomplished and talk about what is being undone every day. So run sort of a separate campaign from his legal. He is out trying to make his legal campaign his campaign. That is not a winning strategy.

“So focus on the issues, growth, prosperity, low gas prices. Ed, isn’t the low gas prices that I am surprised that it’s not something being talked about?” Ingraham replied.

“It’s not being talked about, but more important is the border. I think the border is the thing that people felt he did great things on, certainly tried to do great things. And that certainly flared up everywhere. Again, it is not just New York or California, what have you. People worry about that everywhere. So I sense that will be a big issue we’ll talk about,” Rollins said.

“The economic stability was a big issue. The military, rebuilding the military was a big issue,” he added.
