It’s not chaos. It’s Trump’s campaign strategy.
Washington Post ^

Posted on 12/09/2015 7:23:56 PM PST by springwater13

He referred to Mexicans as “rapists,” questioned Sen. John McCain’s status as a war hero, ridiculed the physical appearance of his opponents, falsely claimed that “thousands” in New Jersey cheered as the World Trade Center fell and, this week, called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States.

Despite predictions that such searing, divisive rhetoric and the resulting outcry would cripple his campaign, Donald Trump’s insults and controversial proposals have propelled him to the forefront of the 2016 presidential race — and kept him there.

And while it may seem like a lurching, chaotic campaign, Trump is, for the most part, a disciplined and methodical candidate, according to a Washington Post review of the businessman’s speeches, interviews and thousands of tweets and retweets over the past six months.

I always love it when the Washington Post tries to act like anyone takes it serious any longer.

Here they seek to do a critical analysis of Trump. How funny is that.

“HE’s NOT HILLARY” There, we have it...

It’s really hilarious. They had some researchers read all his tweets and speeches over the last 6 months for this BS analysis.

Trump is stating what American moderates and conservatives know. And liberals pretend isn’t so.

No wonder the media hates him.

Slowly, they are catching on!

Outstanding.

And what they call "while it may seem like a lurching, chaotic campaign"

Is another Trump signature

Unpredictability.

The pantsuits jokes are going to be awesome.

However, I must point out for the very first time that I now believe the DNC may dump Hillary. The email server with classified information is a problem, but her inability to change her negatives and potentially win is a massive problem to those who fund the left. I suspect her poll numbers are worse than what is being reported and I am starting to think she can’t find the 10% she needs or even motivate the 40% most rats collect automatically.

Her campaign sucks. Her image is bad. She can’t go negative on Obama because he would turn on her so what is her message? 4 more years?

One thing I have realized about Trump is that he is forcing his enemies to burn through their hundreds of millions in cash while he does not spend a dime. This is a very big deal. He has so wrapped the media around his finger that they happily give him hundreds of millions in free publicity while the rest of the candidates bleed themselves into bankruptcy.

This is simply brilliant. And the GOP establishment thinks it is in the driver’s seat. It is not.

Trump knows how to make them waste hundreds of millions and show nothing for it. Bush is now going to spend over $200 million and has the arrogance to think the nomination will be given to him even though no one wants him.

Meanwhile they are bleeding hundreds of millions and Trump is sitting back. The thing is The media and the establishment is no more than 10,000 people and everything they do to insult Trump the ordinary citizen feels it is being done to them.

They simply cannot win.

Go Trump!!!

Trump has genius I.Q. with a photographic memory. Many on the left will find his moves surprising. Unfortunately for them, being surprised in combat can be fatal.

It is a stretch to believe he goes off half cocked, and has built what he has.

However, if his enemies wish to believe it, it's all good.

They will be ...ahh...saddened.

Yah, Trump is playing a game that must appear “magic” to the ambulatory psychotic Dems. What he is essentially doing is framing their utter insanity against the cotton candy taboo revetments of their own ideologically lobotomized minds. The worldview of “empaths” may operate in the comfort of a hot tub but it’s going to sink in the mud and cruelty and struggle for survival that defines the world of realpolitik.

Keeping potential enemies off US soil is not aunAmefican. Muslims killing Americans is UnAmerican.
