A few months ago I wrote that Donald Trump was probably going to withdraw before the Iowa caucuses rather than face the embarrassment of defeat. Wrong. He did lose Iowa, seemed momentarily humbled, but then quickly reverted to form by asserting that he really won. He went on to a landslide victory in New Hampshire and now leads in South Carolina.
While much of the political world speculates that Trump may be creating a new kind of candidacy largely immune to normal attacks, let me make another assertion (that may prove as wrong as the previous): Donald Trump should be easy to defeat. What makes him not a ânormalâ candidate actually makes him more vulnerable rather than stronger. Let me explain.
In a Republican primary, Trump lacks both an ideological or geographic base. For all the focus on his bigoted remarks about Mexicans and Muslims, Trump has won self-identified moderate voters in both Iowa and New Hampshire. In Iowa, he lost conservatives and very conservatives but won them in NH (in a landslide victory like he had in NH, itâs hard to win everything.) In a party that is increasingly dominated by the South and Sunbelt, Trump lives on Fifth Avenue.

Great advice to save Conservatism would not be coming from
The Daily Beast.
Here’s how you beat Trump - you emphasise to his supporters that if they don’t vote for Cruz, then they hate Jesus and America. That will get to them to rethink their flawed and ridiculous support for him.
Plan 2,319,042
Now..., back to reality.
Or, it will expose just how desperate the anti-Trump crowd is, leaving us Trump supporters laughing and ridiculing the anti-Trumpsters all the way to the White House.
If nothing else defeats Trump, it will be all of the actual conservatives who won’t vote for him come November. It’s pretty easy to skip that ballot line if that orange clown’s name is on it.
Trump event; North Augusta, South Carolina 2/16/16
The protester is carrying the message from the politicians, lobbyist, donors, influence peddlers, the well connected and those with motives of bad intent
This guy was wrong before, what is to say that he will be right this time?
I’m rather tired of a party that insists on eating its own rather than the left.
Trump is a life long lefty.
Even Obama was more vetted than Trump. Jeremiah Wright and all that stuff came out.
This.
Stuart Stevens’s building his argument on flawed perceptions... which works for us... AND is the reason he’s been wrong in all his ideas about Trump so far...
Maybe they should call Trump supporters names and taunt them with juvenile schoolyard insults.
I know that when I’m called an idiot, a cultist, and a moron for not hating someone as much as they do, that always convinces me to listen close to their arguments
Lol. She is representative of Trump’s historic negatives as found by Gallup. That orangey moron is not as popular as you imagine him to be.
Yep...looks that way.
Why doesn’t Trump turn his big wicked mouth on his dear liberal friends.
At first when I read your post my mind saw it as “Trump is a life long baby”.:) I agree in either case.
Trump supporters deserve every brickbat tossed at them.
Because he really, really likes them.
