I don’t know.
Trump is winning over people who did originally oppose him.
Case in point, just this morning the guy who organized the debate last night, in which Trump was ambushed by the Bush operative posing as a harmless little charming woman, said Trump completely won him over.
(at least that is what I interpreted things to be, it was MSNBC on the Morning Joe.)
He said Trump won him over.
Trump is doing that. He speaks about what is on his mind. Then people respect him for it.
He’s a real guy. I think he’s going to win.
I think a lot of people have underestimated the power of political correctness. We've reached a point where the rules of political discourse have become so restrictive, no one can say anything. And the media have become a progressive propaganda machine. Trump is throwing the book out the window and getting away with it. He's like the early football teams that experimented with the forward pass while their opponents stood there in shock. He's like a guy traveling in a basketball game and getting away with it. Everybody is standing still or moving in slow motion and Trump is running circles around them.
Any of the other candidates could have tried what Trump has done, and would probably have enjoyed some success. But at this point, the no holds barred approach belongs to Trump, and he was already a household name before the race began.
