The Donald is not, nor could he ever be, a conservative. He has been trading on a populist and libertarian streak in the American people, and it is resonating at an astounding level.
The answers The Donald gives to questions speak to the concerns of a surprisingly broad swath of voters, and it cuts across a lot of artificial ideological positions. The unmotivated potential voters, and the low-information voters, are now engaged to a degree they have not been in YEARS, and there is a surprising degree of interest by persons who have been voting Democrats all their lives. Not “Reagan Democrats”, but AMERICAN Democrats, admittedly a diminishing breed, but still around.
In even the core constituencies of the Left, The Donald is making serious inroads, among female voters, among Hispanic voters (the LEGAL voters, that is), and even among black voters, possibly garnering as much as 25% of that demographic.
The Democrat party “leaders” have to be defecating bricks by now. How long are they going to stand by Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, now?
That’s why the RATS have pushed through the most destructive policies they could since anointing zero.. they knew they’d be toast once they were done with their blowing up America in ‘16. They have rat governors that could win if they hadn’t.
As insurance they brought in millions more illegal hispanic voters... but now they see 65% of voters want those hispanics RETURNED TO SENDER.
Their only hope now is flooring the vote fraud machine, but vote fraud has to be ~ in the margin of error with polls, and Trump is setting polling results they can’t possibly code around.
And Trump is peeling off their deceived Dem voters.
