There is no doubt that Trump is using and isolation strategy to deal with one opponent at a time.
The GOPe is afraid of Trump. They have had their apple cart knocked over and their plans for amnesty and other things have disappeared into vapor.
I think everyone who supports Trump, has reservations about Trump. But they view him as the best chance to destroy the GOPe. They like that he’s not tolerating PC, and attacking the mediots too.
They want the entire cabal of leftist mediots, the GOPe, and the entrenched party apparatchiks, expurgated by any means necessary. If the vessel is Trump, then so be it. It doesn’t appear to matter that he doesn’t pass the purity test on a specific policy. The purity test they are applying is; they want the cabal destroyed.
That’s what I see in the many supporters of Trump that I know. The Cruz folks are more into the ideological purity tests, and he’s their guy. A troublesome insider.
We’ll see how it plays out. Only 4% of the delegates have been committed, and it will be more clear in the coming weeks.
The current trajectory seems to be Trump/Cruz 2016.
We used to call those "Alinsky Tactics" around here. How come no one uses the correct attribution when referring to Trump?
