“One voter mistook him for Marco Rubio.”
That doesn’t say very much for Walker or Rubio.
That is a very interesting article, Vet. It’s really quite a stark comparison between what seems just a man who is a face in the crowd and a skyrocketing superstar.
Trump is a very unusual phenomenon. I have never seen anything like this in national politics in my lifetime. I was not expecting this to happen at all.
Agreed. I’m only 28, but I’m a student of history. I think politico tab a sorry a couple weeks back trying to find comparisons in American history to this. Of course they spoke to a bunch of radical professors from Georgetown and Yale and all those places. They brought out the usual suspects... Perot, Wallace, Hearst. I really think this is a unique man. He’s a marketing genius that has spent decades infusing himself into pop culture. I think he’s always had an itch to run, but he has been waiting for the right opportunity. Of the past election cycles, he seemed to pick the right message for the right year.
Anyway, this article is fantastic. Poor Walker. When you’ve got people drowning out your speech with “we want Trump”, that’s got to sting.
