I saw some parts of this on the show on Fox that is currently not hosted by that woman, and I have to say, as someone who does not particularly care for Donald trump, it’s hard not to like Donald Trump.
Dude was on fire.
It’s refreshing to see an unscripted person.
The man is causing me to lower my guard.
He’s a great campaigner, no question about it. The campaigning style also reminds me of how Bush creamed Dukakis in 1988. They hit him relentlessly on his competence, his gaffes, his policy decisions, his looks, his personality...just endless negative campaigning until the most casual observer could only have the impression that Dukakis was a complete clown and a joke who had no business running for president. Trump fillets his opponents in the exact same way. We haven’t seen a Republican president campaign like that since 1988. And I believe it is the only winning strategy for the party.
Trump needs to work on his debate skills. He’s much more personable and dynamic in his Q&A sessions. He was a little stiff and sour in the debate. If he can maintain this tone of strength combined with good-natured cheerfulness in the debates then he will become truly unstoppable.
I have issues with some of his policies and trust issues but greatly admire his people skills and his ability to learn fast. He’s constantly incorporating new bits of news into his boilerplate remarks and constantly refining his answers to tweak them as he learns more facts and counterarguments. However, he also seems to strategize his answers and positions based on what he thinks will play well in the polls. He wants to win above all else, and that wil remain a danger in terms of his potentially caving in on the wrong issues.
