For some, apparently so. This is like Schwartzenegger v 2.0. Take someone with a lot of celebrity recognition and a reputation as a tough guy (even if in Arnold’s case it was a fantasy persona), and add in some tough talk (as in “don’t be economic girly men”) and it’s going to pull a certain segment of voters. We can see how that turned out for California.

It’s true that there’s a hunger for a candidate who’ll take an aggressive verbal fight straight into the heart of the MSM and Obama. If we had someone with the tough guy persona of, say, Chris Christie, and the proven conservative principles of, say, Michele Bachmann, we’d have a winner. Lacking that, which we are, The Donald’s going to gather up a head of steam.
