I have posted this to every Trump FB and other site to which I have access. If you are also a supporter and can help, please do so.
PLEASE — if anyone with the Trump campaign is monitoring these sites — tell the candidate to back down the invective and ridicule. It is really hurting the campaign and causing some folks to rethink their support for one of the two men who can clear out the wreckage Obama is leaving behind! PLEASE?!?!
The Donald needs to do what nearly every past candidate has done with that sort of factual info: Let other folks put it out there! I respect Trump’s honesty in doing so himself but it makes this otherwise good man seem petty and small to those who are not following these campaigns, candidates and issues as closely as we wonks are.
I can’t agree. The best way to take down an opponent in the context of today’s low information voters is ridicule and Carson has been pumped up by the GOPe in an effort to take out Trump regardless of the media. His speech was not geared towards serious political junkies and quite frankly, most of the people on FR are far more sophisticated than the average voter. His speech was very New York City sarcastic - he wasn’t really inviting people to stab him, just making a point that the claim was absurd by taking it to it’s logical conclusion. It’s very much the same thing Rush Limbaugh does on his show but with a much more sarcastic style which appeals to some and not to others.
Trump is running a very non-traditional campaign because he realizes that he’s not running on policy papers. He has staked his claim to some very broad and popular sentiments in this country such as illegal immigration and nationalism and really is in line with the mood of the country. Remember, this is a primary so yes, you can go after the Dems but you have to win the primary in order to get to the general election and right now the opponent that matters most is the one in front not the one down the road.
