This may be true.
He would bring in a lot more black voters than ever before for a Republican candidate. And his celebrity status would bring in a lot of low info voters who otherwise trend Democrat (like Schwarzenegger did in California).
Could be a “don’t you dare throw me into that briar patch” tactic if polls showing Hildebeest leading Trump are valid.
Based on my own close relatives, Trump is the only republican candidate they would vote for instead of Hillary.
Is that because Trump and Carson are so good, or because establishment Republicans have repeatedly proven that they CAN’T beat the Democrat?
I believe a lot of democrats believe Trump would be the hardest to beat is because a lot of them believe they might would vote for him.
I believe Trump would appeal to the more moderate democrats (if there is such a thing), blacks, and Latinos than any of the other republican candidates. Also, I believe Trump supporters would be more enthused to turn out to vote than the same of GOPe-type candidates (Mitt and McLame).
I think Trump might have ashot at carrying CA. I live in Eastern LA County and in passed 2 weeks I have seen 9 Trump bumper stickers (I didn’t even know he had bumper stickers out yet). I have not seen anything for Hillary or any other Republican candidate. I’ve seen one for Bernie Sanders.
