I do admire the way Trump countered Hillary’s “Republican War on Women” theme by reminding people of Bill’s (and, by complicity, her) track record with women. We’ve seen so little of Bill since then, I thought he might have entered the Witness Protection Program.
Zactly.
While I would prefer a discussion of policy and ideas, Trump is undercutting that by
Identifying the current condition as perveived by Americans
Echoing the problems most important to many of us
Proposing a solution we all generally agree on and that he is the best vehicle for moving toward the goals
He’ll, hopefully, pivot to the road map of how we get there and what it will look like, in a meaningful and measurable way.
I’m still a Cruz supporter but, Trump is kicking everyone’s ass on tapping into the pain we feel and our aspirations
How could Trump or a PAC associated with him do anything else but return the cash, to accept it would make him a liar considering his statements about other candidates accepting money from bankers, which is amusing anyway since they are not billionaires themselves and able to self fund.

From a marketing perspective, Trump has won the war of the airwaves. It is mostly because he is an entertaining man, comfortable in front of the camera and he is full of confidence.
I think he has tapped into the anger of the mass blue collar vote (which we will see in MI.)
But if you wish to repeat this; sort of bottle it and sell it for some other candidate...it will fail. Take a look at Marco. Marco tried to be angry and nasty and he looked foolish.
Donald can dismiss Marco with a wave of his hand. And yet, when Marco did it he looked so uncomfortable it was creepy.
Nope, the marketers will try to copy this and they will fail. There are no other people with the name recognition, “trust,” and smarts who could pull this off.
I’ve tried to think of anyone else in the conservative movement who could pull this off. From the liberal side, there are a few actors who have some brains who could do it...but they are too left wing to be elected (ie, Clooney, Brad Pitt, and their ilk.)
We still remember and Study PT Barnum, Ogilvy, and Geobbles (Yes, marketing and poly sci folks still study Gobbles) Charismatic promoters come along once in a generation.
Yeah everybody hates Trump except the Voters:-)
