Trump's biggest enemy: Google
CNN ^ | 16 Feb 16 | Dean Obeidallah

Posted on 02/18/2016 5:24:43 AM PST by elhombrelibre

Poor Donald Trump. He really, really wants to leave behind his brash, vulgar, sexist and bigoted comments and be seen as presidential.

Trump told reporters as much last week, noting how easily he can pivot to be more presidential. "I'm very capable of changing to anything I want to change to," he said. He also vowed to "never" use "foul language" again on the campaign trail.

What has brought on this sudden change of heart?

Apparently Trump, much like countless past presidential candidates before him, wants to begin pivoting from more partisan positions in the primary to more moderate ones to help in the general election. Only in Trump's case, we are not talking a change in policy, but a change in persona.

Here's the thing, though: Trump could suddenly start acting like Prince Charming complete with white horse, but there's one big problem standing in the way of this chameleon transformation -- Google. Of course, YouTube and Twitter don't help him too much either, but Google is truly Trump's kryptonite.

i predict we won’t make it to 5 comments before a trumpeter comes in denouncing the source of the article, the author or you for posting this.

"I'm very capable of changing to anything I want to change to," he said.

Another political shape shifter.

Hope and ch....er, Make America Great Again!

What a BS article. People are FED UP which is why Trump is now pushing 40%. Being ‘nice’ and ‘bipartisan’ has my kids living in a country with $19 TRILLION in debt to deal with.

Trump’s been a public figure for 40 years. If you need to Google him you’re either 14 or an idiot.

That’s why nobody can define him.

He’s the next POTUS after 8 years of not having a patriotic American (or American) as one.come to terms with yourself.

I don’t use google because of it’s intrusive nature, there are fine alternatives like Duck Duck Go. Still it is hard for Trump to hide behind his one liners when a good chunk of the population can use internet search engines to research his liberal past.

but 60% are fed up with Trump, and know that most of the other 40% will one day deeply deeply regret their childlike infatuation with a bully liberal statist.

They support a fly by night politician with an extensive record of liberal positions and financial support for Marxist politicians.

However, that won’t stop them from screeching “GOP-E!!!!”

I call BS right off the bat on that lying graphic.. Trump has Iowa? And BTW... Cruz leads Trump by 5% here in Texas. I am not going to waste my time researching the other 47, because you have already lost credibility.

Chump reminds me of a delinquent spoiled rich kid throwing tantrums.

It is unfortunate that many people are amused by his classless attacks.

The way to defeat him soundly is to employ his own tactics against him. He will not be able to take it.
