Explaining Why Trump Will be President- Up Close & Personal

Donald Trump is going to be the next President. There's no stopping him now. Let me explain why- with an up close and personal Trump experience.

I am writing this column after a wild 48 hours. I returned late last night from the GOP Presidential debate, where I was a guest of the Trump campaign. The night before the debate, every GOP Presidential candidate was in Las Vegas for a rally or fundraiser with their fans. Each of them attracted 200 people here…100 people there…50 people here…40 people there. Donald Trump on the other hand had a “small intimate gathering” for 5000 to 7000 fans!

And guess who had the honor and privilege of being the lead speaker and Master of Ceremonies? Yours truly.

There were only 2 speakers- Donald Trump and Wayne Allyn Root. I became the opening act for the man I believe is the next President of the United States. It was like opening for Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones. This wasn't a political rally…it was a rock concert!

That's why Trump will be the GOP nominee for President. Rubio attracts 200. Trump brings in thousands upon thousands…a sea of humanity. My guesstimate was between 5000 and 7000.

It's important to point out that this overflow Trump love-fest happened in Las Vegas…a town notorious for zero political interest. And that makes sense because my friends all over the country tell me about Trump rallies with 15,000 attendees…18,000…20,000…and more. That's what Trump brings to the table. No other GOP candidate can match this passion, intensity and love.

But here's the really interesting part. Since I was the center of the Trump universe that night, I can tell you about "the Trump phenomenon up close and personal." After the speeches by Donald and myself were over, I stayed for well over an hour taking photos with the fans. It was the experience of a lifetime. Hundreds of people said Donald and I delivered the two best political speeches they'd ever heard in their lives. You can watch my speech here:

I used this opportunity to spend quality time and talk to the Trump supporters. I got to really know them. And what I found is the reason Donald will win the GOP nomination and eventually the Presidency of the United States. The reason is Donald is the hero of working class Americans. Donald's fan base is plumbers, electricians, construction workers, taxi drivers, secretaries, hairdressers, cops, firemen and yes, in Las Vegas- casino workers. Donald is a man of the people.

I know it's ironic. It took a business mogul worth $10 billion to bring working class Americans to the GOP, but Donald did it. These people- almost to a man and woman- have either never voted before, or voted only Democrat in the past, or voted once for a Republican in their lives- Ronald Reagan.

These are Reagan Democrats and blue dog Democrats and independents. This is great news for the GOP. The media keeps saying the GOP needs to expand their tent. Well Donald Trump has done it.

While establishment types scream that Trump is "ruining the party" because he's scaring off and offending minorities, Mexicans, immigrants, Muslims, etc…the reality is none of those groups are coming in any significant number to any other GOP candidate. Not Cruz…not Rubio…not Bush…not anyone. They aren't expanding the tent by one prson. They are TALKING about expanding the tent. But moderate Republicans who criticize and condemn Trump…and say nothing and believe in nothing…like Jeb Bush and John Kasich at this point have a tent with only their own wives, children and mother in it.

But Trump doesn'’t talk. He does it. Trump has expanded the base, not based on race or gender …but based on class. Why is that bad? I think expanding the tent is good, no matter who comes in. You mean that expanding the tent to include gays or women or blacks or Hispanics or Muslims is good…but expanding the tent to include millions of working class Americans isn't good?

Funny how when Democrats get those voters, the media says it's great. “Democrats care about the working man and woman" they say. But when Trump gets them it's suddenly a bad thing, a condemnation, a put down. I read articles across the world on Tuesday claiming that Trump attracted an "uneducated crowd" to the Vegas rally. The Boston Globe described the rally as "ugly." Really?

When they vote Democrat these same people are "middle America" "the working man" and "salt of the earth." But when they vote for a Republican the media insinuates they are low class and uneducated.

Well that mass of working class Americans is the Trump Army. This is a citizen revolution. I call it "The Trump Revolution of working class stiffs." Good people. Honest people. Hard working people. Salt of the earth. The foundation of America. Real Americans who don't want handouts, only a job and a fair chance for upward mobility. Real Americans who have never taken welfare in their lives. Real Americans who just want their kids to do better than themselves. Real Americans who pay into the system, not take out. God bless them.

And why are they so mad? Why is Trump their hero? Because he speaks for them. He speaks plain spoken, common sense, American values. He tells the raw honest truth. They are sick of the B.S. They are sick of being lied to. They are sick of political correctness. And most importantly, they are sick of being under attack.

The middle class is being murdered- and they see it, they feel it, they are living it. They are being destroyed, annihilated, slaughtered. They are being driven out of existence by Obama's socialist cabal and Hugo Chavez's Venezuela-like policies…combined with the establishment GOP's favoritism towards big business. Both parties have destroyed the working class and middle class of America. The government is actively working against the people. The system isn't fair. The deck is stacked against them. And they see one hero who speaks for them…and wants to fight for them- Donald Trump.

That's why Trump leads 41 to 14 in the latest polls. Think about that: 41 to 14. That's called an historic landslide. I witnessed first hand what fuels this Trump phenomenon. He will combine traditional GOP voters (conservatives, Tea Party, pro business, small business) with millions of non traditional GOP voters- working class, union members and middle class Americans. Yes, I predict Trump will win the union vote. He will be endorsed by The Teamsters Union…by steel workers…by police and fire unions across this country.

Trump is a new kind of Republican. The kind I've been writing about for years. The kind I wrote about in my national bestseller- "The Murder of the Middle Class." The kind that forms a citizen revolution with the people that made America great- working men and women of the great American middle class. The kind of citizen revolution that fights hard and fights rough to take back this country.

On Monday night in Las Vegas, I saw it all, up close and personal. I was blessed to be a witness to a new citizen revolution. I am a witness to THE TRUMP REVOLUTION.

I am a witness to history.

Ditto, especially the ‘Build the Wall’ part, see my tagline.

That went up soon after he said it.

Then he said Mexico will pay for it.

Unbelievable.

I know we need much, much, more than that, but no one has even promised us even that much.

[mkjessup]

Any candidate that appeals to someone so ignorant they think that insulting conservative voters (who they will NEED in order to win) is productive

So why are you doing it?

Now now, be nice to Boogieman, his feelings are easily hurt and then that leads to all sorts of angst as to who he will support, it seems that his feathers are easily ruffled.

Let's try to be nice to him.

[Balding_Eagle]

and you can judge a lot about a candidate by the type of supporters they attract.

Earlier this year, for several months, my tagline read something like this;

+++

"Is Ted Cruz as mean-spirited as his click-it-or-ticket contingent here on FR are?"

+++

No one ever even took a stab at answering the question, but since you've raised the issue, I would like to hear an answer from you

[Boogieman]

I haven’t seen what you’re talking about, so I don’t think it’s a valid question.

[Boogieman]

I’m not, I just insulted one individual, for his own actions.

[Boogieman]

“And you confirmed my suspicions too, that your loyalty to any candidate is based upon whether their supporters treat you nicely, and don’t say anything to upset your delicate sensitivities, poor boo-boo.”

No, I just judge candidates based on the caliber of supporters they attract. It hasn’t steered me wrong yet.

“Your pontificating could just as easily apply to my fellow Cruz supporters who are unable to restrain themselves, incapable of emulating their candidate who does NOT engage in trashing Trump or other candidates for that matter.”

Everybody trashes other candidates in an election season, that is the nature of the game. Insulting voters, whose support your candidate needs to win, is a failing peculiar to supporters of only one candidate in this round.

[trisham]

Not so. I support both candidates and have seen vitriol on both sides.

[Tupelo]

Sarcasm?
I am just happy to have smart people like you to explain what I heard and the true meaning of it.

[Balding_Eagle]

Oh, OK.

I’ll accept that.

I haven’t seen any of what you were talking about up thread either, bad behavior on the part of certain candidates supporters, so your observation isn’t valid wither.

[Bigg Red]

I wish I could argue with you about that prediction.

[GilGil]

I simply loved Trump’s entrance in Mesa Arizona where he did his rally at the airport and descended from his airplane in front of his audience. Simply awesome.

I just occurred to me that a hundred years ago candidates would stump for the presidency from a train.

Now Trump has taken it to the 21st century and stumps from his plane.

He will be the prez because he wants it the most and he is prescient. Go Trump.

Re: Crossover voting potential

I would like to recommend this PDF for review.

It has some encouraging information in there.

On page five it reveals 90% of Republicans and 81% of Independents think the nation is going in the wrong direction. It incredibly also reveals that 43% of Democrats think think the nation is going in the wrong direction.

On page six it reveals that 43% (43+25) of Independents strongly do not think Obama is doing a good job.

On that page it also reveals that 73% (73+14) of Republicans strongly do not think Obama is doing a good job.

On that page it also reveals that 10% (10+23) of Democrats strongly do not think Obama is doing a good job.

IF Hillary runs on Obama’s record, she’s toast.

If she doesn’t, she’s toast.

This PDF is worth the view.

OK, no worries.

Insulting voters, whose support your candidate needs to win, is a failing peculiar to supporters of only one candidate in this round.

Only ONE candidate you say?

Good news for you Sparky, Pearle Vision Centers have specials every week, go get those peepers of yours checked out. Ask about their 'Myopia Package Deal'.


(only ONE candidate this maroon sez, omg, lol - where do these clowns come from?)

[Boogieman]

If my thesis wrong, point me to a post where a supporter of another candidate claims everyone who doesn’t support that candidate is “GOPe”, “Hillary supporter”, etc.

[Kaslin]

So is mine. By the way did you watch his facial expression at the CNN debate on Tuesday? He acted like a ten year old and not like an adult and definitely not presidential.

[Kaslin]

Yes he is.

[Kaslin]

Yeah with his mouth

[Kaslin]

Exactly

[mkjessup]

That's not what you said, you stated:

Insulting voters, whose support your candidate needs to win, is a failing peculiar to supporters of only one candidate in this round.

You did NOT say (until your post #75):

... point me to a post where a supporter of another candidate claims everyone who doesn't support that candidate is "GOPe", "Hillary supporter", etc.

The fact is, MANY Cruz supporters have accused those supporting Trump to be 'liberals', stating that Trump is a 'shill' for Hillary, they dredge up that old canard about Trump being for 'single payer' (disproven by esteemed FReeper DoughtyOne), now you're trying to walk back your original bogus claim by your latest statement about 'point you to a post', and guess what Boogiedude?

I'm not your research assistant. There have been PLENTY of Cruz supporters (and supporters of other candidates) who have spewed every kind of abuse at those who support Trump, and what you and your brethren Trump-haters need to remember is that according to the Founder of this Website, there are only TWO candidates worthy of consideration, and you can check my tagline to refresh your memory.
