I hope you enjoy President Hillary.
Very insightful...good post.
Given his fickle political ways, a President Trump would probably be the same as President Hillary.
you sure look like a liberal paid TROLL to me
You sure look like a clueless idiot who doesn’t bother with posting histories to me.
>>Insulting the voters is a giant mistake too.<<
I couldn’t agree more. In fact, notice that very little polling has been done as to who Trump’s supporters actually are. There was one conducted shortly after his opening diatribe against illegal immigration, for example, that claimed to find a lot of support from Hispanic U.S. citizens, i.e., Hispanic voters. And illegals take jobs from many blacks too.
With the right approach, a few of the surviving GOP candidates should be able to appeal to those groups and even expand their interest in what the GOP can offer them. I think this is why you’re not seeing wholesale attacks against Trump by other candidates. They’re still assessing his impact and looking at the sort of people he’s drawing to him.
Note: They’re not all Tea Party conservatives. And many just might be disaffected traditional Democrat voters.
>>The Koch Brothers contribute to both parties, too.<<
You say that like they’re crony capitalists protecting their interests. The donated about $600,000 over the last 10 years to Dem officeholders.
Compare that to the $890 MILLION they’re committed to spending for GOP candidates in the upcoming election. Not only that, they’re calling for an end to corporate welfare.
Sorry...meant to include a link to the above post: http://www.tpnn.com/2014/04/15/what-leading-democrat-politicians-took-koch-brother-money/
Take Florida, for example. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has reportedly decided to somewhat sit out the Florida primary. This move, in my view, is the right move and only logical move their team can make. Why? Because Florida is very, VERY expensive. Florida is a massive state covering multiple expensive media markets... Both Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio have run statewide campaigns in Florida. Both already have a statewide foundation to build on. They know the county chairmen/women, they know the organizers, they know who ran the show for them locally before, they know where to get the deals on GOTV infrastructure and they know who they need to be friendly with vs who they need to ignore. Why would Scott Walker spend millions trying to compete with that when, in all honesty, he can't win there? Walker is right to pass on Florida. It's not that he’s going to ignore Florida voters, but he's certainly going to keep his powder dry and save his big guns for states where he can actually win. Which, in all honesty, is about every state outside of Florida. I mean, outside of Florida, what other state is a guaranteed win for Jeb Bush?Strange that Trump is outpolling Jeb in Florida, then, eh?
