Trump is already spending his own money - That plane he flies on is not free
Now my head is really spinning.
Another article predicting the coming Trump Stumble.
By a guy who thinks that Saul Alinsky meant no harm...and that Ron Paul was a hero.
I think Trump is a direct product of Obama, who actually was familiar with Alisky through his mentor, Bill Ayres. Trump picked up on on the technique instinctively, I suspect, because he’s a showman and had already made a career of exceeding the normal boundaries of reason, emotional sensitivity, etc. So it was pretty natural to apply it to politics, especially after Obama had shown how well it works and how easily the American people can be manipulated through it.
Problem with his reasoning is that Trump really doesn't have to spend as much money as his opponents. He has name recognition, worldwide. Everything he says and does gets reported by multiple outlets, which means he gets his message out there without having to create boring political ads that most people ignore anyway. Yes he spends money on his travel, but so do his opponents, and his opponents have to also spend money on political ads.
To top it off, endless emails asking for money to support him are not inundating people's inboxes, just your vote. Though he does occasionally send emails offering free bumper stickers.
I am neither a stalwart supporter, nor a bombastic detractor, just making an observation.
Trump employs a dozen of these. Trump, I recently predicted here, almost surely will balk at spending real money on his campaign and lose his preeminence.
Isn’t Forbes now a Chinese puplication?
Just saying.
(I’m series, majority ownership is now Chinese I believe)
This is SO TRUE:
“Trump excels at picking, freezing, personalizing and polarizing his target. He doesnt call out our broken immigration system. He conjures Mexican rapists.”
I remember Palin screaming that our Immigration system is broken and we need to fix it. We all cheered, saying that she was “one of us”.
But she never said how she would ‘fix it’, and McCain/Rubio were saying EXACTLY the same thing - and their fix, of course, was to open the borders.
Much, if not most, of Trump’s support is due PRECISELY to specifics - The Wall, for example, and a dozen other items in his position paper.
all these fortune tellers predicting the outcome should place wagers and become very rich, not having to write opinions for a living anymore
Oh wait...maybe Planned Parent.......nah !!!
