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.
Well, I’m enjoying the whole thing no matter what happens.
Trump could fold like a Cheap Suit in the First Debate with his free wheeling style or he could dominate the Field of Losers standing next to him on Stage.
I’m sure my Guy Cruz will be smiling with bemused wonder watching the spectacle unfold before him on the Debate Stage.
One thing for sure, Trump is the only Guy that is drawing People into the Political Process. I speak from experience since I know at least Six Apolitical People, including my Wife whose Ears perked up once Trump showed up. No amount of my discussing why Ted Cruz should be the next POTUS made a dent with any of them.
It’s a long process and none of us have any idea where things will end up.
