This is an excellent op ed.
Trump is winning over tons of people!!!!!!
Moore is outstanding. I love how he not only embraces Trumpism, but, he seems to very subtly embrace the possibility of thinking about new policies....
America first.
We get that right, then we can have a meaningful conversation about important policies without the democrats, and without the GOPe. That’s the goal.
I wouldn’t call this an “embrace”;
“If Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination, which looks probable — though I’m still hopeful Ted Cruz can catch him — he will have reshuffled the deck in a way no one has since Ronald Reagan transformed the GOP into a conservative party.”
Although he is correct in some positions.
“For the Washington Republican establishment this is a disaster, much worse than the election of Barack Obama. Because they’re the first people who’ll get run out of town and find out what it’s like to lose their jobs to an alien.
Trump doesn’t have the cadre of Republican consultants, pollsters, funders and party organizers that I would argue have been a big part of the problem with our government. They are the party apparatchiks the Trump brigades are partially rebelling against.”
All in all it’s not a bad article but it seems to me that he’s being forced to accept these positions against his will.
The problem is the “tons of people” supporting TRUMP did not bother to attend their precinct meeting, their county convention, where they could have become a delegate to their state convention, where as, at the state convention they could try to be slated as a delegate to the National Convention.
TRUMP may be swamped at National. How many TRUMP delegates are even going to be at the National Convention if they sat out all of the above to enjoy the weather or clean the garage?
We have been learning that short of the 1237, our candidate will be not be picked by the popular vote on our various primary Tuesdays, in our respective states, but on the Convention floor instead.
We don’t need any wishy washy delegates there anyway, who can be talked down from their support of TRUMP, but delegates there who can battle up, and sway delegates TO TRUMP.
Every state has a permanent delegation composed of the top office holders;governors, Lt. governors, speakers, state representatives, US representatives, etc., etc., etc.
These several “permanent” office holder delegates are the significant number in each state, who will be at the mercy of the Establishment apparatus from Washington, DC, who will be leaned on by DC, and who will in turn be forced to lean on the rubes from the fields, serving as citizen delegates for our various candidates.
It is a very unpleasant reality for a floor fight looming without even enough TRUMP delegates there, if we can not get TRUMP above 1237.
