breitbart.com ^ | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 08/17/2015 5:53:51 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Bloomberg Politics Managing Editor Mark Halperin stated that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has “reached a turning point” where the “establishment candidates” think he can win Iowa, “most” believe he can win the nomination, and “a significant number think he could win the White House” on Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Halperin was asked his writing that “Most importantly, we’ve reached a turning point with Trump, the major establishment campaigns of both parties now think Trump could win Iowa, and most of them think he could win the nomination, and a significant number think he could win the White House.” And that the campaigns were in “full freak out mode.”

If it breaks out for Trump in a big way I do hope Cruz goes with him.

Cruz would be a great President himself.
He is brilliant and would be a great person to bounce ideas off of for Trump.
Cruz has passion and is an ethical loyal person.

Plus afterwards you’d probably get 8 years of Cruz. :-)

The pundits missed the point regarding Trump. The people sense that Trump has a moral certitude that allows him to secure American borders, honor and protect American culture and prevent unchecked migrations into the United States. This attitude is very appealing to most American voters.

I’d like to see Cruz, along with all the other candidates respond to Donald’s immigration policy. We know where Jeb and Rubio stand on having a wall along southern border, but what does Cruz and Carson think about it? All I see is a lot of candidates staying out of Trump’s way, hoping to take advantage if/when he crashes and burns.

Very interesting that all it takes to change a pundit’s mind, even an insider like Halperin, is a stroll around the IA state fair with Trump.

It appears that Trump has one really important advantage over any candidate that has ever ran for the Presidency.

Ever, ever, ever.

Here is the proof:

1. He can spell POTATO any way he likes and nobody will care.

2. He can explain that the Dems have a built in 47% of the vote and nobody will care.

3. He has given PC a bad name and I'm not talking about Microsoft vs. Apple.

I'm sure there are many, many other examples.

But the bottom line is that he has defeated the MSM. A first for any candidate. Prior ownership of the MSM doesn't count since it is so common.

The reception Trump got at the Iowa State Fair over the past weekend was amazing. The people there were crushing him and making it impossible for him to get into buildings. I understand he and his bodyguards had to eventually turn around and get out of there. It's a little scary and reminded me of the 2008 campaign when everybody (on the Dem side) lost their senses and went gaga over "hope and change" Obama.

Of course the difference here is Obama never so much as ran an ice cream stand. Whereas Trump has decades of real accomplishments in the private sector and has reached the pinnacle of the business world.

Still, people are hungry for a leader who can get things done and that is something the mainstream media seems to be missing out on.
