People are so sick to death of inside-the-Beltway status-quo sell-out-America-for-a-buck types that the outsiders hold far more appeal that political pundits might want to admit.
We may well see the LtCol Oliver North effect here.
Everyone in DC and the MSM laughed at him, until they saw the public reaction to North’s appearance before the Congressional committee investigating the Irangate affair.
The public loved him, despite what DC and the MSM had expected and predicted.
Then, everybody in DC was kissing his arse so thoroughly he had to apply 2 pounds of baby powder each night to dry it out!
All candidates, especially Republicans, will be watching their “people meters” (ala Frank Luntz) to see what message is resonating with voters and move to that position quickly.
I’m not worried about Trump going up agains’t Hillary. He will annihilate her in the general. I’m worried about any of the other likely GOP candidates beating her in the general election.
