>>>I agree that Trump’s appeal is primarily limited to low information voters. As with BHO, the more information you have about DT, the less likely you would be inclined to vote for him<<<
That’s funny. I see it that the more Information People get about Donald Trump, the more they want to Support him.
I’ll be sure to let my Wife, a newly minted Trump Supporter, that she is just another Low Information Latina.
I preach the Ted Cruz (a Hispanic) Doctrine to her for a Year and she rolls her Eyes at me. She actually watches three Trump Speeches Online, and she NEVER watches anything Political, and she tells me Trump is the Guy.
Heck, she even tells her 82 Year Old Latina Mother about Trump. I almost fell out of my Chair when I overheard that conversation.
Something is going on. I have no idea what it is, but it will either continue or fizzle out in due course.
So far it’s Sizzling, not Fizzling. Only time will tell.
I agree.
Trump has enormous appeal. Especially to people who normally have no interest in politics and dislike both major parties. Trump is an entertainer and showman above all else. Unpredictable, unscripted, an uncorked vox pox, undisciplined, says whatever comes to mind. People love it! He is the Liberace of American politics. There is no denying this.
I have also noticed on the Democrat side a strong surge in support for the Socialist curmudgeon Bernie Sanders. People like to rebel against the establishment and express their discontentment from time to time. The rise of DT in the GOP and the rise of Sanders in the Dem Party reflects this angst and discontentment.
As for me personally, I don’t regard Trump as much a Republican or much of a conservative for that matter. His numerous contributions to Democrat political candidates, most notably the Clintons is enough to give me pause for concern. I would like to see more detailed policy positions from the Trump campaign, less bluster and bombast.
That’s just me.
