Buchanan: Trump Could Win Working Class Dems
Breitbart ^ | 12/22/2015 | PAM KEY

Posted on 12/22/2015 9:11:22 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Tuesday on Newsmax TV's "The Steve Malzberg Show," former Nixon and Reagan aide and conservative commentator Pat Buchanan said Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump could do well among blue-collar Democratic voters who are concerned about the border and unhappy with Bill Clinton-era trade deals.

Buchanan said, "My view about Donald Trump is he's got some real capabilities I think to break out from the normal pattern of basically moderate conservative Republican against centrist Democrat. Part of that I think is his issue with the border, which reaches across party lines, and secondly his issue on trade against NAFTA and GATT and these trade deals. If you run against NAFTA and GATT and hang them around Hillary Clinton's neck in Pennsylvania and Ohio and Michigan I think you could do very well there among working class Democrats."

On working class African-American voters he added, "A lot of working class black folks and middle class black folks are interested in a far better economy than we've got now and there's no doubt that The Donald has been a job creator in his own sphere."

On working class Hispanic voters, "I'm not sure American citizens who are Hispanics want to have folks walking across the border and taking the jobs that would otherwise go to them."

I dont see Trump as a recycled Reagan (seems much more a moderate pragmatist than a real conservative)...
but Reagan did attract the ‘working class’ vote

(will this be enough? There are so few working people nowadays...and so many more on the public dole)

If Dems and the MSM weren’t worried about Trump, why are they attacking him 24/7?

Media and liberals are attacking Trump incessantly and ignoring all other republican candidates because Trump would be the easiest to beat by Hillary /SARCASM

Most people outside of the midwest don’t really know the devestation that NAFTA, GATT, and favorable trade status with china caused, and the clintons and bush41 own it.

If Trump went to Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, and drove that point home, he would shut out virtually every other candidate.

Every NYer I recently talked to (was there for Thanksgiving) is all in for Trump! Even the airline porter in NJ was a Trump fan!

And you can hang NAFTA & GATT around Republican necks too!
The GOPe was quite vociferous in supporting these "trade deals" if I recall correctly.
