I'd have to say it most definitely is NOT working perfectly, since Trump is about to be the first GOP frontrunner in forty years to go into the convention WITHOUT the nomination wrapped up. Frankly, I don't think he will get it.
Either way, it hardly matters. Trump has already guaranteed the Dems will win the general election by making the nominating contest so personal and dividing the Republican voters. He apparently does not understand that when you demean other candidates, their supporters (whose votes he will need in the general) feel personally insulted by Trump.
And those who oppose Trump have responded back in kind, so no matter what happens millions of people who voted in the GOP primaries are likely to stay home in the general election, handing the Presidency and Supreme Court, and probably Congress as well to the Democrats.
Thank you, Trump, for the key role you played in helping to make America suck again.
It’s working, don’t kid yourself. Be objective and observe. The firestorm over Colorado is just starting. Trump reaches 7 million on twitter and another 7 on facebook. With retweets and shares he can reach 10 million in minutes. And that is exactly what he’s been doing. For the traditionalists Trumps doing pressers. Drudge has had two front page articles on the corruption.
You cannot pull a Colorado and get by with it in the information age. You are livin’ in the past if you think you can.
