California did nothing but hurt his campaign with protesters capturing the media attention in a negative way.
That’s the thing, though. I truly believe Trump could have used those protests to his advantage as the article states. He should have been out there that night. The next morning he should have called into the networks who all would have taken his call. He should have went after Hillary and Bernie who these people support.
I still have hope this will turn into a good campaign ad.
I’ve got to disagree here. I thought campaigning in CA was an excellent idea. I think a lot of people do not realize the nature of the threat to the country these violent Aztlan/La Raza types present. Watching them show their true colors was good publicity for Trump. I was happy with each new speech I saw that he was scheduled to give in CA, and he went up in the polls during that time. He got far more publicity with those speeches than he would have making yet another stop in FL or OH, and I came across several people online who were on the fence who said that watching the violent leftists at his rallies pushed them fully into the Trump camp.
He’s gone down since then, but not because he was campaigning in the wrong states. Foremost, I think it’s obvious (though hardly anyone seems to be mentioning it anywhere) that Hillary’s numbers have improved primarily because she secured her party’s nomination and some of the discontented Berniebots have returned to the Dem fold. This is exactly what happened to Trump after he got the Republican nomination and was to be totally expected. Beyond that, of course, Trump does appear to have been dinged by the Judge Curiel controversy, but more importantly by the continual attacks by “Republicans” in office and the media. I’m not sure how major shifts in his campaign could have done anything to stop these real issues.
baloney.
the protesters were a wake-up call to many Americans.
I think it was positive. Most people don’t like seeing citizens attending a rally being attacked by people waving Mexican flags.
