More negative coverage he gets from the left wing media, the more he will resonate with ordinary people. Ford should not run around saying, “Vote for me, I’m just like Donald Trump.” But he should not run away from comparisons to the U.S. president
Since winning the leadership of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party a week ago, former Toronto City Councillor Doug Ford has been compared to Donald Trump. And not in a good way. But as polls taken since his victory indicate, a significant number of Ontarians do not like him but will vote for him anyway in order to get rid of Premier Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals.
Ford has been asked about similarities between himself and the American president and Ford denied they are alike. The PC leader says these Trump comparisons are something made up by the media. But there are similarities between Ford and the American president and Ford should not be running away from them. After all, Trump did win.
I watched Ford in the debate. He was very clever to point out the immense success of the Trump financial policies without mentioning Trump by name. In Canada, people are so thick headed that it’s best to not mention Trump. Ford would do well to just keep touting Trump policies, because the proof is there that they miraculously turned the American economy around in eight months.
Doug Ford has way too much baggage. I get the feeling that he can make all the speeches he wants, but Kathleen Wynne is utterly untouchable.
