Monday on The Chad Hasty Show GOP strategist Matt Mackowiak joined Chad to talk about the presidential campaign and the weekend terror attacks in the nation.

Speaking about what GOP candidate Donald Trump needs to do at the upcoming debate to continue gaining on Hillary Clinton, Mackowiak said,

He's got to demonstrate he understands the terrorist threat, he has specific plans to go after it, and that he's going to do something that's fundamentally different from what Obama and Clinton and Biden have done over the last eight years. And he's going to have to do that on the biggest stage, perhaps in American history with 80 or 100 million people tuned in one week from tonight.

Mackowiak answered Hasty's question about possible news and events that may still be in store for the election, and talked about his recent article Five October Surprises That Could Shake Up the Race for the White Housein Observer.
