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.

At this point there are only two ways Trump can become president:

  1. He can run against Hillary
  2. He can run against Bernie

States like Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, New Jersey and even New York are ripe for Trump.

It is highly stupid for the author to assume that Floridians want more latino illegals.

You're AN ENEMY to ALL CONSERVATIVES !

I'm not convinced yet. You should try some very long posts with lots of links and probably old pictures too. And if you could incorporate some BOLD into your ALL-CAPS, that would help as well. Of course, nothing beats a few 1's mixed in with a solid wall of exclamation marks !!!1!1!!!!1

Ronald Reagan:
"Rather than making them or talking about putting up a fence, why don't we work out some recognition of our mutual problems, make it possible for them to come here legally with a work permit, and then while they're working and earning here, they pay taxes here," he said. "open the border both ways" (open borders)

Bush (41):
"as we have kinda made illegal some kinds of labor I'd like to see legal" (in other words, cheap labor express)

Coffee never was my "cup of tea".
Diet Coke is my Achilles Heel.
It gets my goat, how these TROLLS are constantly telling LIES about Cruz.
They all LOATHE the TRUTH.
But Politics ain't an easy thing, and its ISN'T for the thinned skinned !
I had an hour or more conversation with Herman Cain in the break room at Lake Charles Radar Approach Control while he was waiting for his Stearman Bi-Plane to be fueled, when he was running,
and I told him that his competition would LIE about him, and throw anything up against the wall, to see what worked.
He didn't believe any of us air traffic controllers about how he'd be treated.
Later, he learned that we were right!

You really SHOULD compare YOUR VALUES to Trump's VALUES .
He's NOT who he PRETENDS to be !
Look at his PAST ACTIONS, and NOT JUST WHAT HE SAYS !
How many times has Trump ACTUALLY COMPLETED what he SAID he would DO ?
You'd better WAKE UP to WHAT you are supporting, or else the "DEAL MAKER" WILL DEAL YOU OUT ... FOR HIS PERSONAL PROFIT !

Before the pant wetters started necklacing Trump with the latest Fascist Mussolini, they trotted out, Trump was ‘hitler-nazi’... When that attempt failed, then they regrouped and trotted out love of America as ‘nationalism’ and fascism...

I never heard of Max Boot... which underground bunch does he work for?

what are you gonna do?

looks like he’s gonna be the man and come June or whenever this thing ends, we’ll have to get behind him.

I don’t think he’s a conservative. I DO think he’s a nationalist. that’s good enough for now.

I don’t want this thing handed to Rubio, when he gets bushes’ and Kasich’s votes.

trump cares about personal opinions of him the most of any candidate I’ve ever known

that works to his suppoerters’ advantage. they can hold his feet to the fire if he strays.

it is what it is. we’re gonna have to be loyal troops once this is over. It’s gonna be Trump or Rubio. Cruz will unfortunately have to wait until 2024. he’ll still be young, and if I cut down on the antipasti, i’ll be young too :)

It ain't over ... UNTIL it's OVER !
And it's a VERY LONG TIME ... UNTIL it's OVER !

Donald "EMINENT DOMAIN FOR PRIVATE USE" Trump IS NOT a Conservative, NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT !

Trump is Thad Cochran regenerated !
Trump will say ANYTHING to win.
This is just like Mississippi, with Chris McDaniel and Thad Cochran, appealing to DemocRATS to cheat Republicans out of their Selected Primary Candidate !

We had that "DemocRAT In Disguise" DEFEATED IN THE PRIMARY, until HE CHEATED !





Chris McDaniel refuses to concede: "We're going to investigate" ( 8:40 )

DUPED Trumpsters NEED to WAKE UP !


Those who support that P.O.S. Trump need to do their research on WHERE Trump stands ON THE ISSUES .

Just click on the dots for details from the candidate, on the subject.
Source:

Border Security and Immigration is NOT one of Trump's strong suites.
One day he says one thing, and the next day, he's on the OPPOSITE SIDE of the issue !

I admire you. I’ve always been too much of a realist bordering on and passing negative at times.

8 of the next 12 primaries. If Trump takes them, it’s over.

the polls have been pretty dam good so far.

I will try to absorb your positive energy :)
