Politico ^ | December 7, 2015 | Ben Schreckinger

DAVENPORT, Iowa — Donald Trump is over the Republican primary and he’s ready for the main event. With new polls reaffirming his dominance and Ben Carson’s decline, Trump is showing less interest in recent days in his Republican rivals and more in general election strategy and Hillary Clinton’s personal life.

This is good. Trump needs to bring in young as yet unaffiliated voters and independents to vote for him in primaries.

It's about time those folks are reminded that hillary as Secretary of State led the destabilization of Libya, Egypt, and Syria (etc) which created the power vacuum where ISIS grew.

GREAT! Trump’s doing what Romney and McCain should have done—going after the DemonCrap. Once again he shows he has an understanding a few light years greater than his opponents.

I also saw his shift as if he thinks he has the nomination not taking anything for granted.

The image of a tank turret coming to bear on a new enemy comes to mind. That muzzle sure looks big Hiilary!

“This is good. Trump needs to bring in young as yet unaffiliated voters and independents to vote for him in primaries.”

I’m beginning to see some real leadership qualities in Trump.

This is what I’ve been waiting for..now the real surge will happen. Looks like Cruz is doing same. Great for both.

I believe a great many young people don’t give a rat’s a$$ about Libya, Egypt and Syria as long as they can get their college loans forgiven by Hillary or Bernie. Many haven’t a clue where those places are.

Give ‘em their free $hit and they are happy.

Politico I hardly both with, not all that great.

But in this article I sense that the Donald is getting ready for the long haul.

The truth is that many young people will simply STAY HOME come next year.

Probably because they all think they should be first in line for everything.

Well, this is good, but Cruz has been rightly attacking the Obama/Clinton domestic and foreign policy failures from the start.

But, Trump should not get overconfident about the primaries, as I believe Cruz is going to win Iowa. IMO, South Carolina is the election to watch.

That is why Trump will have to team up with Cruz in the general.

When Trump was eviscerating his GOP rivals, much to the dismay of the media and fellow Repubs (including Freepers here), I knew this would be his EXACT plan. To destroy the competition in his way, to give himself a commanding lead to where he can’t be stopped, and shift to the General. This is exactly how he earned his billions.

He is actually becoming more mellow. On Face the Nation yesterday, we was very calm and spoft spoken, but firm in his words, much unlike Dr. amBiEN Carson.

South Carolina. Any predictions on Linda Graham? Will he get even 5% in his own state?
