Turnout, terror, and tactics favor Trump against Clinton
Boston Globe ^ | 03/24/2016 | maxisthebest

After adding to his delegate lead in Tuesday’s GOP contests, Donald Trump remains on track to be the Republican nominee for president. The question is, can he beat Hillary Clinton? The answer is, yes. Clinton is threatened by factors that are unexpected, unusual, and unique.

The Brussels terror attack is a reminder of the uniquely terrifying age in which we live. Clinton’s response promising to stand with our allies without proposing any specific answers was unsatisfying. Trump’s call to seal the borders and bring back waterboarding was clear-cut and definitive. It may not appeal to our better angels, but they tend to take flight in times of national peril

Before the latest wave of terror attacks, The Washington Post quoted a senior Clinton adviser saying she plans to counter Trump with “high-road substance, policy, and issues.” That sounds like Jeb Bush, who was felled by Trump despite having an overwhelming advantage in money, political pedigree, and organization.

True observation, in spite of the 987 propaganda articles over the last two days saying the opposite is the case.

Hillary Clinton is a horrible candidate, but from listening to the media sing Ave Maria every day, you would think she was invincible.

Trump has not even started on Hilda beast yet. If Trump could vanquish seasoned republican governors and senators, what chance Hilda has in general? She is responsible for the worst chaos in middle-east, Benghazi, private email server and enabling Billy's debauchery of an Intern, sexual harrasment of Paula Jones and others.

Winning in November depends more on us than on the candidates.
If Trump supporters take their enthusiasm to their neighbors and follow Trump advice on how to sell and how to close the deal, then Trump wins. If Trump supporters expect Trump to do it all on his own, then he loses.

Same with Cruz. Cruz has a massive list of small donors. If he convinces them (and supporters like me who donate time but not money) to get out and work their neighborhood then Cruz wins. but if we sit home and expect Cruz and TV ads to win then we lose.

BTW calling our neighbors stupid for not supporting our candidate in the primary is not the way to sell our candidate. They are GREAT for caring more about their family, their job, their church, their bowling league than caring about politics. The way to get their vote is to praise them for doing what is important to them.

Indeed, and let’s not forget Helmut Norpoth’s model, which is even sexier than Trump’s wife ;) :

Trump will mop the floor with Hilary. I don’t have any doubt about that. She will be so intimidated by him that if she sees Trump 2016 in chalk she’s going to be scrambling for a safe space.

ISIS puts out a propaganda video with Trump’s voice. I’d say they REALLY don’t want Trump to win.

A Picture is worth a thousand words! If the picture doesn’t post, go to UCANSEE2’s post:

Yeah like what telling the world Hellery is a big time law breaker would be ‘terror tactics’ for the Boston Blob.
