Now we have switched to the black and white female vote to divert from this?
I see no proof that the college kid vote will be won by Trump anytime soon.
Secondly, the “college kids are a bust” talk has been ongoing among Republicans.
Now they will suddenly vote for Trump along with black voters? That meme really worked well in 2012 after the economy did squat for them from 2008 until 2102.
2014 was a repeat of 2010 as there was lower turnout among blacks, college kids and Hispanics anyway.
And single, white, female voters (married, white, female voters are usually good for Republicans anyway) are going to flock for Trump in record numbers to offset this super-high negative among Hispanics?
Keep dreaming... And then wake up to...
Cruz!
Yes Cruz! The dude polling at 4% in the latest poll with Fiorina at 10%. Seriously, the delusion is strong.
Cruz is a loser. Here, let me help you understand what to watch for...
The best politicians, like the best investors in the financial markets, don’t chase votes. They let the market come to them— knowing that it always will. Then they back up the truck and ride the credit expansion cycle (for growth investors) or the business cycle (for value-oriented investors).
Trump isn’t chasing any demographic. A voter is either with him, or against him— and it doesn’t bother Trump either way. I think he has an affinity for blue collar voters that no one in either party has (or has had) since Reagan. A lot of ink has been dedicated to the lack of turnout by Evangelical voters for Romney. I’d love to see a piece on the same theme for Obama in 2012 amongst blue collar Democrats.
Bottom line: Ted Cruz needs his wife’s Goldman Sachs’ connections and money. He’s verbally gifted, but street stupid. He lacks prescience. He excels at verbal jiu jitsu but lacks the real world experience running things. Cruz would be a fine candidate for Attorney General in a Trump administration, maybe solicitor general, then a jump to the Big Bench when hopefully Ruth Buzzi Ginzburg takes a dirt nap and descends into the eighth circle of hell for defending NAMBLA.
