Republican voters should not dismiss Donald Trump
American Thinker ^ | January23,2016 | Steve Barton

If Trump wins the Republican nomination, he will defeat Hillary. He doesn’t do things halfway. He means what he says, and he says what he means. Trump understands that making Hillary the issue will get out the Republican vote that McCain and Romney were unable to attract.

Here’s what you can expect from Trump in the general election as he asks: Why do Hillary and Bill pretend to be married when they have been separated since January 20, 2001? Does Hillary really think she can fool white suburban married women who want to believe that Hillary and Bill have a real marriage? Did NBC News pay $600,000 to Chelsea as a bribe? Is Hillary a tool of Goldman Sachs, having taken money from Goldman for a speech, and considering that her son-in-law worked at Goldman? When did Hillary learn that her husband was a sexual predator?

Trump will force these questions, and others, into the news cycle, whether the liberal establishment wants to entertain them or not.

Donald Trump cannot be denied or destroyed. The public already knows him. They know him from reality television. They know him from WWE wrestling. The low-information voter knows who Trump is. Trump doesn’t pretend to be anything other than what he is: a successful businessman.

The difference between Trump and Romney is that Trump understands the language and the pulse of middle-class America. It’s not about the money; it’s about image, and controlling that image in the media.

He means what he says, and he says what he means.

I have to think he is certainly the most well known candidate for a long time, at least among people who might not normally pay attention to politics. Also, I would tend to think he has a big leg up among the 10% of swing voters.

Sadly they are not dismissing him.

The key to properly interpreting Trump is CAPITALISM.

He’s not liberal, he’s not conservative, he’s CAPITALIST.

Overall, that means he’s good for America right now, because everything he does will be through that pro-American capitalist lens.

Look how far we’ve dropped when that very concept is a foul word to fully half the country.

We have had politicians who are mainly lawyers, plundering, pillaging, and raping the country for decades on end. Yet, every election cycle we elect and re-elect the same lowlifes, and then sit and grumble and fume about how none of them pay any attention to us until they are up for re-election.

Trump is far from perfect, but who else do we have, but the standard lawyers turned politicians?

I’m willing to take the chance on Trump, the only non-lawyer non-politician running. I’m sure that I’ll be disappointed in some of the things he does or doesn’t do, but I’ll probably be pleased with some of the stuff.

But, electing the same lawyers turned politicians over and over again and expecting something different to happen is the very definition of insanity.

Even Trump has had some pretty uncapitalist ideas from extreme tariffs to universal health care to taxing the rich to pay for Medicare and Social Security. He’s more a crony capitalist/nationalist/populist than a pure entrepreneur in any case, but we shall see...

LOL, yep.
I wanna see that wall.
I wanna see all the deportations.
I wanna see that 45% import tax.
I wanna see him make Apple manufacture in U.S.
I wanna see him keep the muzzies out.

Did I miss anything? I am sure I did.

Trump is at the top of the Republican field because he is, by far, the best at running a campaign. He knows how to win. He knows that the candidate who controls the news cycle will win.

Yep. People mocked him for tweeting at 3am, but guess what? His tweets are what the news shows are talking about for the day.

I totally agree that Trump will destroy Hillary. It will be death by a thousand cuts/tweets. :-)

Trump won’t run against Hillary.

She will NOT be the democrat nominee.

It will be Joe Biden/Elizabeth Warren; one or both (P & VP) versus Trump.
