Shows a few things about RL. Frankly, he hasn’t surprised me one bit. When he jumped on the Rubio Express, it only confirmed what I thought about him.
The CLE / GOPe have very long tentacles. Just like the DNC.
Trump has the kind of personality that folks in NH like. He’s up front, says what’s on his mind no matter how absurd, and doesn’t apologize for it.
Bill Clinton had that same kind of friendly, outgoing, life of the party personality that endears NH. Rubio doesn’t have it and neither does Cruz. Both of them are stuffed shirts, comparatively.
The big question is, how will a New Yorker do in the deep south, and in the west where the shirts tend to be very stuffy?
South Carolina is a bit more tolerant because it’s a big tourist attraction..at least on its east coast. But the mood further inland is more conservative, and they really like “polite’’ people. Trump might be a bit too abrasive for some of these older timers. Too ‘rude’.
If Trump carries western states, then I will be amazed. I think Iowa is a good reflection of what Trump can expect from the west. Low key people like Cruz and Rubio ...both of Hispanic back grounds, are likely to do better in the western states, Texas, and possibly more conservative southern states.
I’ve read it wrong before...could be wrong again..guess we’ll see.
