>>You don’t need an army of handlers. But the follow up question are a given. If he keeps repeating the same old general ideas, he’d be seen as an empty suit. For Trump this is one big reality show. He can take his Trump brand global like Coca Cola and Nike without paying a penny on advertisement. Fools are falling for him because he has hit on a burning issue. He is right. But simply stating the issues without knowing how he plans to get there is not helpful. A majority of Republicans are on record as not willing vote for Trump. It’s about 2%-3% of the electorate that decides the election, and given Trump’s negatives he cannot win, in an election we all agree, we MUST win.
1) You don’t win friends by calling people fools.
2) Your candidate could pull ahead by doing what Trump is doing AND being that candidate of substance that you seem to think actually exists in modern American politics.
But the truth is that there is no candidate of substance because the poorly-educated masses can’t handle substance. They want Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho and that’s who they are going to get. But, compared to the rest of the mealy-mouthed field of cowards, even Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho sounds like a good idea right now.
We are a nation is deep sh!t. We need a leader with a vision and not a detail-oriented guy. We need a butt-kicker and not a butt-kisser (or a cheek-spreader, as our Congressional leadership tends to be).
I agree with you. But first we must have a candidate who can win. The William Buckley principle is that we elect the “most conservative” and “one who can win.” Trump is neither. Trump is playing us just like he does the viewers on The Apprentice. This is a global “reality” show for him, but not for us. Let’s face it. He has given wads of cash to Hillary; to Blasio, to the snake who is the Virginia governor, he is all over the place on Planned Parenthood; has said squat on gay marriage (which just a fe weeks ago was burning up the pages of FreeRepublic) and now he goes on national TV and cannot articulate a coherent plan on how he proposes to implement his signature issue. He tells Christian Evangelicals that he does not need forgiveness for anything he has done. Great!
