True, but in fairness to reality - it was still a pretty shocking liberal reflex. Some consultant (yes, he has some) whispered in his ear 'uh, Mr. Trump, YOUR followers are not going to go for that.'
Once he's got, say, the nomination...or the Oval...do you think he's going to be talked out of his initial gut reaction? NOT LIKELY. His initial gut reaction is almost always left.
I've said this before, and I'll repeat it here: I'm not sold on the fact that Trump will have the staying power to go the distance. It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of what people will do when the step into the voting booth during the primaries, and the questions they ask themselves about who they're going to cast their votes for. It's at this point where the rubber meets the road as people start asking themselves whether or not the candidate they like really has a chance of "winning it all."
At this stage it's way too early (IMO) to put my money on a horse. There's still just so much time for any of the candidates running to flame out.
I will say this about Trump: He speaks for me on immigration, the economy and the incompetence and corruption in Washington DC. Those not so coincidentally also happen to be the hot button issues for so many people. I frankly speaking really like the fact that he's got so many establishment politicians (on both sides of the aisle) all up in arms.
We'll see how long Trump lasts in this race.
