Trump has done very well in states where Rats can crossover.

You see that as a negative. I see it as people opening their eyes to what the Dems have become over the last several decades. Many of my extended family were diehard rats because of the unions.

Since 2012 when it took 3 votes to include God in their platform, Benghazi and the economy, most have left that party. And jobs and caring about the military has made Trump very appealing to them. Sad you see that as bad.

While God is a big thing to them the Elmer Gantry act of the other candidate has been a real turn off.

In this case it is a negative. These voters aren't crossing over because they recognize that conservatism is the answer to the country's problems. Rather they are crossing over because they think their leader can run things better and they are using the same thuggish behavior that their unions do for the Rats. It is not a case of the Pub party growing and becoming more conservative. It is the Pub party being pulled left by a large segment of crossover voters.

While God is a big thing to them the Elmer Gantry act of the other candidate has been a real turn off.

This is a great example of the point I'm making. In addition to criticizing people of faith (something typically found with leftists) we also see a segment of the "new" Pub party that thinks Pres. Bush didn't do a good job on the war on terror, or in Iraq, or in Afghanistan, or keeping the country safe.

The next thing you know, we'll see Sen. Cruz being called an establishment candidate.
