The immediate problem for Donald Trump isn’t that two-thirds of Americans have an unfavorable view of him, it’s that more than two-thirds of Republicans — 70% — have an unfavorable view of him.
According to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, Donald Trump is supported by 30% of Republicans.
What’s remarkable is that two months ago the same poll showed him at 33% support.
Which means that after two months of winning primaries and receiving very public gushing endorsements from Sarah Palin, Chris Christie, and Ben Carson, Donald Trump is worse off than he’s been at any time during his campaign.
Donald Trump can’t make America great again if he can’t make his own presidential candidacy great again.
But how is he going to do that? By attacking Ohio’s popular governor? By attacking Ted Cruz, the favorite of the Conservative and Evangelical voters who are critical to winning the White House for Republicans? Or maybe by holding a poorly attended rally in Cleveland where there are virtually no Republican voters, but whose Congressional Representative, Marcia Fudge of the Congressional Black Caucus, used the occasion of his speech to very publicly denounce Donald Trump as a racist?
Most “Republicans” are really Democrats, who just haven’t gone as far left as the Democratic party has.
Exactly. But don’t try convincing the Trumpkns who have elevated a reality star and con artist to the status of a deity.
