The Coming Trump Landslide
Townhall.com ^ | March 4, 2018 | Wayne Allyn Root

Posted on 03/04/2018 5:03:36 AM PST by Kaslin

I know Donny Deutsch only too well. A stereotypical, spoiled-brat, New York liberal. CNBC had two fair-haired boys they were grooming to be the stars of their network in the early 2000’s: Donny Deutsch and Wayne Allyn Root.

CNBC gave Donny his own TV show. They made the decision to give me two TV shows to host. My lawyer was on the phone with CNBC’s legal department finalizing my contract to become the new star of CNBC, when my phone rang. It was the Vice President of CNBC telling me the deal was cancelled. She explained CEO Jeffrey Zucker of the NBC parent company had overruled CNBC’s executives because he didn’t want my views on the air at CNBC.

My career was ruined at CNBC by a liberal who wanted to censor my conservative views- even though I’m willing to bet at least 70 percent of the people watching CNBC are conservatives. The CNBC audience is business owners, business executives, Wall Street brokers and high income earners. My kind of people: Republicans. I lost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and millions of future dollars because of liberal bigotry and delusion.

Not to mention bad taste. Donny Deutsch spoke Zucker’s liberal language. So, Donny got the job and I didn't. But his show bombed. Donny was a dud. Boring. Not to mention too liberal for the viewers of CNBC.

Nice move Jeffrey Zucker. That brilliant judge of TV talent went onto ruin CNN and destroy their ratings too.

The memory of my Donny Deutsch CNBC debacle came pouring back to mind yesterday because I saw Donny made news as a guest on MSNBC. Donny was asked about Trump’s re-election chances. For once I agree with Donny.

Deutsch said Trump will be re-elected in 2020 by a landslide because the economy is booming and Americans have more money in their pockets. Most Americans base their vote on pocketbook issues, explained Deutsch. It’s rare to hear truth from a liberal.

Then Donny spoke more raw truth. He said, “That’s why Trump must be removed from office now.”

My old pal Donny revealed what liberals are all thinking, deep down. Trump is a lock for re-election by a wide margin. As Deutsch admitted, that’s why he must be stopped now.

Crazed liberals scream for his removal…impeachment…even assassination. Because they know he is succeeding, he is effective, he is erasing Obama and fundamentally changing America back to a conservative, capitalist nation. They know they can’t stop him at the ballot box, so they have decided they have to stop him any other way they can- even resorting to violence, conspiracy and sedition.

Liberals and the mainstream media (I know, I repeat myself) love to claim Trump’s ineffective. They say “He’s accomplished very little.” Liberal scholars recently rated Trump as the worst president in history. Really?

I consider The Heritage Foundation my “Bible of conservatism.” Heritage defines conservative. According to their ratings system, Trump is the most successful and effective conservative president in modern history. He scored far higher than my hero Ronald Reagan.

Trump may be unorthodox. He’s certainly not like Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio or John Kasich or Ted Cruz. But he beat all of them. Then he beat “the unbeatable” Hillary Clinton. Then he became, according to the authority on conservatism, the most effective conservative president in history.

In recent days Trump offered up a deal to keep DACA immigrants in the USA. Conservatives weren’t happy. But Trump won over some immigrants.

Then he offered up multiple gun control measures. Conservatives weren’t happy. But Trump won over suburban moms.

Then he offered up trade tariffs on China. Conservatives and Wall Street went on the warpath. But Trump won over working class Americans.

The most conservative president in history won the right to move towards the center on a few issues by building a foundation even more conservative than Reagan. That gave him room for just a little compromise. That's how you win elections by a landslide.

Trump turns out to be a brilliant political strategist. He’s expanding the GOP tent like no other Republican in history.

For perhaps the first time in his life, Donny Deutsch was right. Liberals had better remove Trump from office quickly-by hook or crook. Because the Trump train can’t be stopped any other way.

Now you’ve done it Wayne! So many purists on here will vilify you too! You’ve been a pretty popular writer to link to over the years on FR and now you too will face the wrath of the 20 people here who think Trump is the Devil because he isn’t conservative enough!

Trump is trying to win over moderates and independents. He can’t win re-election with only a conservative base.

While the Democrats are competing amongst themselves who can be on the Far Left, Trump like Bill Clinton, is successfully triangulating. He’s winning over the middle.

Now that’s winning!

Trump can't win without that conservative base either. For every "moderate" (liberal) Trump gains, he will lose ten conservatives.

He might have a chance going after blue collar voters, if any of them know what a tariff is.

Trump won because many people who haven’t voted for years turned out on 11/8/16. Reagan Ds & independents also came out for him. As for wooing moderates, let them try and blow air in Jeb! or Kasich.

Liberals are 20% of the electorate, conservatives are around 30% and the vast floating middle are 50%.

Whoever gets most of the middle wins an election - they’re literally swing voters - can go either way.

It makes no sense for Trump to win over liberals - they will never vote for him. But moderates are persuadable.

And if he can get them, he’s a lock for re-election. All Trump has to do is Alinksyite any Democrat who might be nominated as out of the mainstream and too extreme for most Americans.

He’s already on the job.

Just keep repeating, “If they hate Trump, they hate everyone who voted for him”.

The latest war against gun owners (why were music fans in Las Vegas considered expendable compared to high school students in Florida?) is class warfare, pure & simple. The Left hates gun rights because they get in the way of the Agenda.

And Donald Trump gets in the way of everything they seek to impose on the rest of us. Massive LEA incompetence caused the horror in Parkland, yet the NRA is the target and we’re supposed to turn in our guns.

It’s culture warfare, it’s class warfare, and it’s here. Please to note my tagline.

I don’t like this overconfidence.

Democrats are full of anger and anxious for payback. We’ll see what shakes out in 2018, but I think Democrats are going to come out in droves. I know some of them and they are loaded for bear. I know some who even went to that pussycat hat march in DC.

I also know many people who voted for Trump who are turned off by his arrogant buffoonish behavior.

Flame away, but those are my observations within my circle of friends - and I live in a conservative country.

Anger and payback can be highly motivating.

They can run on hate but they don’t have a positive message.

That gets their base motivated to vote but still keeps them a long way from getting rid of Trump.

And Democrats are even more divided than Republicans.

This is about the best case possible for Trump, a swing of 4% from 2016, producing a 355-183 electoral vote majority:

We will never have another Reagan style landslide like 1984. The demographics have changed that much.

There’s never a never and never an always. We may not see a Regan type landslide in our lifetime, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be one. Demographics have changed, but the will continue to change, too.

I didn’t realize Wayne Allen Root came so close to a major position with CNBC. The fact that he was in that race against Donny Doofus had to leave Mr Root needing a very long and thorough shower.

The Democrats will turn even more leftist and try to run on a hate Trump platform. Just look at the electoral map from 2016. Hillary carried the left coasts and a few liberal bastions in the south and Midwest. The rest of the country rejected her. Do they really believe that turning even more left will attract the normal people on flyover country?

California and New York are beyond saving because of their rotten to the core cities. But I think Places with steel and coal and manufacturing are lost to the dems.

Sheesh! What an arrogant Libtard thing to say. Are you a troll?

You misunderstand. Those moderate voters are going to flock to Trump by default. Trump is not going to appease them by watering down conservatism, thereby losing conservatives in the process.

Convinced Kasich will challenge Trump in the primary. What a freaking loser. What other RINO may challenge Trump?
