Yep, that is exactly true. In the past it didn’t matter as much because what the donors wanted and what the base wanted were not as far apart. But with the housing boom under Bush and the 10s of millions of Illegals Bush let in, the donors get a taste of cheap, reliable, labor (at least compared to the losers coming out of American high schools), and they want that labor to be PERMANENT...so now it’s AMNESTY for them, and nothing short and they’re willing to let the Democrats and the media do whatever it takes to achieve that end.
But that’s where they stepped in it. The question is whether we can finish them off with Trump - if we do, we may be back to a 2-party system.
Bumping for historical purposes.
This is basically where I expected it to wind up, but the tape basically is the only thing that kept that from happening.. without it, that was where Trump would have wound up.
Eight states is how many they goofed up.
Trump was starting the hockey stick break away at the end of October. Without that tape Trump was on his way to a blowout circa 1980
And he rebounded after they invested in the pinpoint data strategy. He stayed the course and within a week of the tape, his polls began climb back up, and then some.
They actually concentrated on specific demographics within zipcodes through strategic data mining. TV Advertising was highly target specific to programming.
The success of Jared’s data operations and Brad Parscale’s firm to target specific markets during those final stages of his campaign was unprecedented.
Truly remarkable. And Jared convinced Trump to spend the money on digital strategy. Trump trusted & valued Jared’s judgement.
Jared exerted a powerful influence over the Trump campaign - beyond overseeing the digital strategy, he dealt with the top-level hires. The close relationships
— and trust — among Parscale, Kushner and Trump helped convince a once-skeptical Trump that it’s wise to spend precious campaign on this data driven approach.
Even after the “Access Hollywood” tape scandal broke, Jared convinced the campaign to keep its ads up in rust belt states Michigan, Ohio, Penn. and Wisconsin
— all states Trump won. This analytics-driven approach led the Trump campaign to place ads in a dozen markets that Romney’s 2012 campaign never bought,
including Flint, Mich.; Greenville, N.C.; and Tallahassee, Fla. And it worked.
Within days of their specifically targeted ad buys, Trump’s poll numbers began to rise in relation to the specific markets.
FRiend, Are you at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania tonight?
Wish I was, but he’s on the wrong side of the state from me
