A Crack in Trump’s Armor? [Another hit piece?]

As the sprawl­ing, brawl­ing Re­pub­lic­an pres­id­en­tial field gath­ers for its second de­bate here to­night, the new ABC/Wash­ing­ton Post na­tion­al poll may point to a crack in the ar­mor of con­front­a­tion­al front-run­ner Don­ald Trump.

While the poll found that Trump con­tin­ues to hold a com­fort­able lead among Re­pub­lic­ans na­tion­wide, de­tailed res­ults provided to Next Amer­ica show that large num­bers of white-col­lar GOP voters doubt that he has the qual­i­fic­a­tions, per­son­al­ity, or tem­pera­ment to suc­ceed as pres­id­ent.

[SoFloFreeper]

He leads but white collar voters wonder about him?

Really?

.....aaaand these GOP white collar voters are going to pull the lever for Bernie? Hitlery?

Riiiiight.

By the way, congratulations white collar voters: the media, for this one story, pretends to CARE about what you think.

It’s the old ‘critics say’ gambit with the writer’s barely-disguised opinion thrown in.

“white-col­lar GOP voters”

Anybody with half a brain (hopefully some of them at least have that) should realize there’s really nowhere else to go. The electable Trump is the best thing to come down the GOP pike since Reagan.

Cool.

He’s got the peasant/great unwashed masses vote.

Any criticism of L. Ron Trump is by the infidels! They must die!

[Amendment10]

Obama has shown that anybody who can do a decent job reading a teleprompter to low-information voters can get elected president.

. . . num­bers of white-col­lar GOP voters doubt that he has the qual­i­fic­a­tions, per­son­al­ity, or tem­pera­ment to suc­ceed as pres­id­ent.

One could count me among that number, if one counts historically consistent fidelity to conservative principles as a qualification. Donating to Hillary Clinton is a sign of weakness and political opportunism characteristic of liberals and RINOs for the past several voting cycles. I don't trust the man to be sufficiently dedicated to the basic truths that make the fabric of our nation strong. A true conservative would not mince words about Planned Parenthood. Donald appears to be tongue tied on that one, or should one say, a blow hard. These things said, I'd take him over any Democrat.

[Cowboy Bob]

I want to hear McCain come out and say “We have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency!”

[Bobalu]

[Little Ray]

At the very least, anyone criticizing Trump better be able to point to a long history of viciously contesting Democrats and their policies. Otherwise, they show themselves to be Whores of GOP-E.

Guess what? Most of the folks attacking Trump don’t have that history.

And I am not a Trump supporter.

“Con­cerns about tem­pera­ment are at the top of the list,” said the poll­ster, who asked not to be iden­ti­fied.

FRANK LUNTZ?

“People get an idea of the tem­pera­ment it takes to be a suc­cess­ful pres­id­ent … and get the idea that in­sult­ing every world lead­er who doesn’t agree with you is not in the in­terest of the United States.

Has that happened?
