“will damage the eventual nominee and hurt a party struggling to connect with women and minorities and desperate to win.”
“...connect with...minorities”
As Ann Coulter would say, Republicans should focus on their base, not democrat voters.
Are they sure about that? Celebrity Apprentice, which is the secret guilty pleasure of a lot of people, is a place where women and minorities and aging rock stars are given great opportunities to succeed, with Trump's encouragement and blessing. His daughter has a real role in Trump's business, and is a successful and impressive young woman. (compare that to the children of most pols, with their bogus jobs). Trump talks about people succeeding on their own merits, which is what a lot of the Hispanic community would like to do without government making it impossible.
Trump's an original who isn't afraid to speak out and stand for what he believes in, perhaps the "American Putin" we're looking for.
No wonder the puppet masters are concerned. Don't over-estimate the stupidity of US citizens. Most are smart enough to see what's going on and how our lives are being destroyed.
Every election is the party ‘desperate to win’....
Then they pass TPP/TPA, OCare subsidies, open the border further and do everything BUT give us a reach-around.
I guess, so people are happy to be ‘on the bottom’.
Not that I have anyone else in mind, so far, but he’s at least willing to say things no other would. He doesn’t need the $$ the rest of the field bends over for the CoC and K-St. $$. Hell, I wish him well and will back him enthusiastically, if he came out w/ a list of 10 Agencies/Dept. he would immediately remove. I’m damned tired of the lip service to all but We the People.
