“I’m sorry folks, IMO Donald Trump didn’t defeat most of his opponents in the policy realm or by exchanging ideas. Again IMO he bludgeoned them until they quit or until they were no longer viable candidates. “
Of course Trump won with ideas. What do you think was and is so popular with the GOP base? All the common sense policies that the base has wanted and the elites have refused - deporting illegals, putting America first, bring companies back, quit importing people who want to kill us.
The others lost because they backed the establishment’s agenda. Trump only bludgeoned them with his fresh ideas and by refusing to be PC and speaking the truth. If they couldn’t handle it, they’d never be able to handle Hillary. But that wasn’t why they quit - it was because voters didn’t want them.
How Cottonball how? He’s the nominee, he’s a few weeks from the Convention, I like most here at Freerepublic.com pay more attention than most of the rest of the electorate and I can’t tell you what his proposals are to do everything you just listed, that’s what I meant by the policy arena.
I just wonder if it will work in the general?

I was going to post the same thing. You said it perfectly.
