Here's How Donald Trump Could Become President
Huffington Post ^ | 02/22/2016 | Zach Carter and Ryan Grim

Posted on 02/22/2016 10:46:29 PM PST by goldstategop

Trump is no Romney. He is running an unsubtle, racist campaign that has particularly targeted Latinos. His chances of winning swing states with significant Latino populations -- Florida, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico -- are extremely low.

But he doesn't need them to win. All he has to do is carry the Rust Belt -- a region perfectly attuned to Trump's fiery denunciations of American trade policy and his angry condemnation of Washington corruption. While Romney hailed free trade, globalization and "creative destruction," Trump rails against the North American Free Trade Agreement and promises to bring jobs back home.

Which is why he might pick Kasich for VP.

Trump has a problem with the "NOT MY VALUES" Issue when it comes to voter surveys.

It would definitely be a marriage of convenience, just like Reagan Bush.

However, Reagan had an awful exit strategy by leaving things with Bush in ‘92. Reagan should’ve dumped Bush in ‘88 for someone more conservative and solid. Yeah, it’s all in retrospect.

So to not repeat history, if Trump goes with Kasich in 2016 just to get those dominoes falling starting in Ohio on election day, hopefully Trump will dump Kasich in 2020 for someone more conservative, after he has already set the country back on solid ground, and he doesn’t need to play such electoral college shenanigans to win again for one more term.

No one took Vera’s house, but her heir’s ultimately sold it for 1/3 of what she was offered.

How could Reagan dump Bush in 1988? Reagan wasn’t running. Bush was running for re-election in 1992.

The Democrats will use Trump’s record against him: you’ll gave a television ad of Donald Trump telling CNN that the economy does better under Democrats, Donald Trump praising Barack Obama for passing his Trillion dollar stimulus package, and his 2008 endorsement proclaiming he knows Hillary Clinton and she’d make a “great President,” and finally Donald Trump’s praise of socialized healthcare to seal the deal. How are Republicans going to even effectively counter Trump’s record?

No replies.

Gee, it took TWO empty headed Libtards to write an Article bashing Trump. He must be wearing them out.

Yup, I stand corrected. ‘84, not ‘88. :)

Donald "EMINENT DOMAIN FOR PRIVATE USE" Trump still TRIED VERY HARD and AT a LARGE COST to UNCONSTITUTIONALLY TAKE someone else's HOME for his OWN PERSONAL GAIN !
HOW DISGUSTING CAN YOU GET ! ? ? ?

Donald Trump view of "EMINENT DOMAIN FOR PRIVATE USE" IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL !
Read the history of "Eminent Domain" for yourself.
Donald Trump didn't have the power to take it, as a private citizen.

BUT ...the Government taking someone's property and giving to Donald Trump's company, DID GO AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION, pure and simple !
If the government take someone property, just to give it to another private company, because they think they can get a larger tax income from the deal,
then it IS WRONG AND ILLEGAL as the LAW was ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO BE !

It's UNCONSTITUTIONAL !
So ... the guilty SHOULD BE BLAMED !


Once again, this is Donald Trump's vision of private property rights when he was just another private citizen.
So, AGAIN I SAY ....
    Imagine how much more damage he could do as the leader of the Federal executive branch.

I sure do.

I’ll be more than happy to vote for him.

And thanks for bringing this up again for about the 3000th time in eight months.

Do any of you folks have Alzheimer’s?

Just like they used Reagan signing a Law while Governor of California to legalize Abortion or blaming Bush 41 for agreeing with Reagan signing a Bill giving Amnesty to 3 Million Illegal Invaders?

That kind of stuff?

Trumps opposition to the Iraq War gets him support from both Parties, so that won’t work either. Remember, Hillary Voted for the War twice.

Trump is currently my second choice behind Cruz, but even Trump’s Republican Competitors aren’t getting any traction attacking him with your arguments in Republican Primary States.

Who would the Democrats be targeting, other Democrats? That would garner Trump even more Voters from all across the Political spectrum. Good try though.

Just my $.02, your Mileage may vary.
