Kathleen Parker: Cruz, Rubio Need To Help Uneducated Trump Supporters Understand "Who He Really Is"
realclearpolitics.com ^ | February 22, 2016 | Kathleen Parker

Posted on 02/22/2016 5:35:31 PM PST by Baladas

Conservative Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker offers advice to Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio on how to take down Donald Trump. Parker said the two need to "make a clear case" to low-educated Trump voters of "who he really is." Parker added they think "finally somebody is speaking for them but the truth is he is not."

"Trump's ceiling has been edging up all along because it originally was lower than that and it keeps moving because he keeps surprising everyone," Parker observed. "After Nevada, he's got a commanding lead in some states. In Massachusetts it's like 25% more."

"I've come back to this sort of concerted effort to show people who are taken with his emotional appeal to see clearly who he really is," Parker said. "He's done so well with these people with who are high school educated, and I don't mean this in a demeaning way at all, but it's the fact, and the more blue collar workers who really are the heart of America and they think finally somebody is speaking for them but the truth is he is not for them not in his real life and that needs to be highlighted."

Katbird is really an elitist Beltway snob and her advice here to get Cruz and Rubio to gang up on Donald Trump in the name of "education" is beyond bad.

please take note of the “Ceiling” talking points spewed by everyone now,

“Well Trump has hit his ceiling now!”

Blah blah blah

One thing about Trump supporters, they are capable of being convinced of just about anything.

I 100% support calling Trump supporters stupid and uneducated.

It’s been working great so far!

We know who Trump is. He is a runaway train loaded with dynamite heading for DC.

Just like Jeb was going to “educate” voters on the joys of amnesty.

Condescending elitist POS.

We conservatives have been trying to get people to think it through for quite some time and are failing. Any time a Trump supporter is faced with Trump’s record, they say he has changed or “liar liar”. Even worse, they respond with he will build a wall. Fine, but he is still a liberal at heart.
Now scream “liar liar”.

Trump supporters aren’t rational, so there’s no way to convince them who Trump really is.

Question:

If Trump is as “liberal” as you Cruz/Rubio Bots say, how come the liberals hate him so much?

It’s not possible. Lots of people believe what they want to believe when they hear someone telling them what they want to hear.

And just like Bernie was going to “educate” voters of the subtleties of ‘Democratic Socialism’. A distinction without a difference.

Well tell you what dirtbird. We the “uneducated” have had a real education conscerning you snobby bastards around the Nor Loch, and we have had enough of your lying, corruption and back stabbing.
Now if you are so educated you dirtbird, tell us what Nor Loch means. You are smart, are you not?

BTW this is pointed towards that author not anyone on here.

My question is - who is Trump going to get to school him on the social issues?

Roger Stone, one of his consultants, who started Republicans for Choice?
