Trump is going to rebuild the Reagan coalition.

He will get the white working class, Union voters, blacks, and legal Hispanics.

They ALL know the Dem/RINO Uni-party has sold out the nation and that’s why their jobs are going overseas.

Trump is the only guy addressing this. Experts will be shocked at how well these issues will carry.

This is a yuuuuge move for Trump. He is lapping his opponents in every category. He is highest in both the first choice and second choice positions. Bush at second place when his first and second choice ratings are added is STILL not up to Trumps first place position.

If Trump starts meeting with the lower end candidates and starts to make deals with what cabinet or position they would like in his administration for their support, he could literally wrap this up by the end of February.

Bush can’t win PERIOD!

It is laughable and satisfying to watch the wheels come off of these LibTards, the progressive Left, the MSM, and the RINOs who are desperately trying to find some way...any way...to attack Trumps announced immigration plan.

But they are all going to fail.

It’s because in their tensile world and ivory towers they have lost total, complete tough with the American people.

The American people KNOW that Trump is boisterous. They know he is completely outspoken. They know he says offensive things. But they are supporting him any way.

That’s because he has tapped into the frustration and anger the people are feeling.

And he is detailing his policies and plans to match.

Take his details on his immigration plan that the common man on the street has been begging for, for years. A policy that finally turns this asinine policy of the last decades on its ear and does what MOST AMERICANS want done. That is:

- Close the border.

- Get the illegals out of here.

- Shut off the ludicrous anchor baby provision that draws them here.

- Make the Worker visa program something that only attracts really good workers that the companies are willing to PAY a high price for, and thus gives Americans a chance to take the other jobs.

Most people I know APPLAUD what Trump has proposed. They know intrinsically that this will be very good for our nation and stop the hemorrhaging of our sovereignty.

They DO NOT CARE that a boisterous, outspoken, in your face Trump is proposing it. They believe he will actually do it! They know that he will not be cowed by the media, the LibTards, or the RINOs...and this is what they want.

But the tensile world and ivory towers cannot conceive of this. They are used to someone backing down when in their fire. Of people supporting their “polls”, their “focus group BS,” etc.

Hehehe...but not this time.

64% say country is on the wrong track.

That’s good news for non-political class.

I agree. I think we need to destroy the existing political status quo and Trump’s personality, otherwise a liability, is a benefit. Americans know we need someone with serious balls to knock heads and remake Washington.

Well put by you.

The richest counties in the entire country are where? Surrounding Washington D.C.

We’ve devolved into a Soviet state where the richest are those sucking off the tit of the government. That’s terrible.

Trump in the soundbites controls the story each day. But when you get a long discussion with him he makes sense.

His message will resonate with the working class, the 93 million Americans not working, the young facing bleak futures.

He’s certainly capable of winning the general.

Remember the Reagan Democrats?

I believe there will be a lot of Trump Democrats too. These are people sick of both parties.

No one in my immediate family would have ever voted for obama. I have an aunt that voted for him the last two elections. She now favors Trump.

People are sick and tired of being mislead by both parties. The answer certainly isn’t another political Washington insider.

I hope this guy has a lot of energy. I fear he will get burned out from attacks from the establishment.

How old was Ronald Reagan when he became president? Same age as Trump?

Of those who know them, a vast majority DISLIKE him. His advantage is simply that he is far better known. 38 percent of those who have an opinion of him like him; 62% dislike him. That’s as bad as Bush!

In contrast, the majority of people who know Carly Fiorina or John Kasich like them. Walker is disliked by the majority of people with an opinion on him, but that’s probably because he’s better known among Democrats, to whom he is the bete noire than to Republicans and moderates.

Of course, the survey didn’t even poll Carson or Cruz. I’d be quite positive that Carson has the best net favorables.

I’m with you. I asked people a few days ago how many people remember the concept of the Reagan Democrat. People are very upset on both sides of the political spectrum.

It’s not just ticked Republicans. There are also many in the middle that are ticked at the #uniparty and want it to stop as well as those on the left that adhere to parts of his message.

It makes him both very exciting and very scary. The latter I say because whenever a candidate becomes “too powerful”, my “is this guy the Beast in revelation” radar comes on. It even did with Reagan, though it never really started pinging. I just always look for the signs.

Go to www.teapartyprimary.org and vote for your top 3 candidates. You have to supply an email address and zip code, and the next page wants a donation - which I skipped. However, my votes counted anyway,.

You tell me.

Besides raising a bunch of cash from the most hated members of the party and being a Chamber of Commerce stooge isn’t going to cut it this time. Money doesn’t erase the bad taste GW left in so many Conservatives and mouths.

The fact is that he has 100% name recognition and negatives of close to 60% in the REPUBLICAN PARTY!

He can’t win.

No one wants a fourth Bush term in thirty years. At least no one that doesn’t have the dollars to buy Bush.

GW Bush destroyed the brand when he went full socialist in the panic in late 2008. Had he held firm and did nothing, allowing the inevitable collapse of the banks, McCain would have had a chance to win. Between he and McCain freaking out like idiots they destroyed any chance of McCain winning.

People forget. The tea party movement started because of Bush bail outs and only continued because Obama doubled and tripled down when he came onto office.

Trump mailed it. Bush destroyed his presidency in Iraq and almost destroyed his party because the last three months of his presidency was a massive economic disaster. People haven’t forgotten in the last six years and they damn sure don’t want all his shit bag advisers back causing more mayhem in 2017.

Besides, hasn’t the Bush family taken enough from this country?

Yes, Trump will get the white working class, the Union voters, black and legal Hispanic voters. Just listen to this smart lady, a black Trump supporter. She tells it like it is.
