That’s a great analogy!
works for me
Look at Diamond and Silk not your typical GOPe advocates
WE THE PEOPLE are attending the GOP Convention.
We’re the GOP! Our motto is “Wait Until Next Year”.
On the one hand yes, Trump is expanding and broadening the participation level. However, most delegates are not casual new joiners. They have worked their way to that position. The transition has been building over the years because of the non-responsive behavior of the GOPe. Trump met up with a building movement, he did not create the movement.
I like that, you are not raising Trump to high upon a pedestal, while at the same time explaining the Trump phenomena. Someone a lot of normal Americans can appreciate.
If they want our votes down-ticket, then they better make room under their fancy tent. Oh, and get us some of those fancy snacks, and a glass of bubbly please.
Good analogy. It’s a fun crowd and a wild convention. Could you imagine willard being booed off the stage in 2008?
Not a chance.
Them Trumps sure do know how to put on a show!! Bet the numbers watching tonite are thru the roof.
I don’t mean to be rude. This is for everyone really. Way too many vanity posts popping up.
I have a guilty pleasure. I watch professional wrestling. Professional wrestling, especially the WWE are masters of promotion.
The Trump campaign resembles a wrestling promotion. Running against the “establishment” or the “Authority” as WWE calls it, is a common theme.
Trump is playing the role of anti-hero. He’s not totally clean, a little abnouxious and will do just about anything to win against all odds.
There are two main types of wrestlers, One is called the “Baby Face” or “Face” and the other is called the “Heal”. Most wrestlers gravitate between the two as they get more popular.
Trump needs a heal as a rub. Last night he turned Ted Cruz into a heal. Cruz came in to a roaring cheer and left to boos. Trump’s entrance at the end of his speech was planned.
This RNC convention is like Wrestlemania on steroids. Last night is a setup for tonight. People are going to be glued to the TV. Ratings through the roof.
It will make the DNC look like a pity party.
The price is wrong Blood!
Good analogy - Trump also finally exposed Cruz as a unreliable egotistical liar who touts his “my word is my bond” qualities even as he unabashedly breaks his bond.
I think he’s more like Al Czervik from Caddyshack.
A lot of “conservatives” want a BIG TENT with lots of empty space so it doesn’t feel crowded and they don’t have to deal with anyone who disagrees with them on anything.
It’s not about getting a diverse group of people to together to beat Hillary. It’s about converting the country to all of their views and if they have to compromise we need to get Hillary to prove that it’s their way or Ds so we all need to submit to them next election or else.
Caddyshack had that same kind of vibe.
Listening to Trump’s speech now.....sounds like he has learned to make a political speech (like when Happy Gilmore learned to putt).
