Someone told me that Trump now has the underdog factor.
The backlash is so great that people who were not interest or were dismissive have broken for Trump because of Romney and the pile on factor.
Two things: Romney is the embodiment of The Man - the rich white faceless power broker/business boogeyman taxing you, regulating you, keeping your wages down, etc.
When he came out against Trump, he effectively turned it into unfair fight. That is why Cruz is desperately trying to distance himself from the brokered convention talk because he knows there is a backlash.
FWIW. I just found it interesting.
Yet Cruz is angling for a brokered convention, no other way to see it.
I was initially a Cruz voter but recently switched to Trump. At this point it almost seems a vote for Cruz is a vote for a brokered convention.
My hubby and I stopped by a debate party hosted by a local SoCal radio station AM610 Thursday evening. It was packed with Trump supporters. Must’ve been close to 2,000 Trump folks of every color, nationality (lots of blacks, whites, and hispanics in the crowd). I’ve lived in CA since I graduated college 25 years ago and have never seen such fervor in this state for any candidate. Alot of it probably is backlash due to Romney’s interference but people generally do seem engaged even here in CA for Trump which speaks volumes.
