Here’s one for the list.
THIS ^^^^
TOUCHE......or should that be TOUPE......(sorry about that...)
Jim fell on his butt again.
(1) National polls mean nothing at this juncture. We are several months away from the first state primary, and then it is state by state, not national.
(2) Trump is much like Ann Coulter. Each can tap into the pulse of the grassroots, but each also eventually flame out with brash comments.
“In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” - George Orwell
He did expose that we are living in a time of universal deceit.....
However I wouldn’t vote for him,.
Close. Trump is a life long lunatic. Well ... guess it’s the same thing.
The problem is, he is going to suck the air out of the room and not go away.
Exactly.
Neither one can be trusted.
I think he's pretty much nailed what is going on in the pre-pre-pre primary.
The kiss of death for Ted would be failing to make the cut at the first debate, which would put him in the category of marginal loser candidates with Jindal, Fiorina, Kasich, Lindsey, and Santorum. But for that to happen one of those losers would need to go up about 2 points. Which probably isn't going to happen.
“The problem is, he is going to suck the air out of the room and not go away.”
All according to plan. Just like Perot in 1992 and 1996.
Trump will flame out. But the energy he creates can be absorbed by the Cruz campaign if handled deftly.
Interesting push.
VERY good analogy!
Nope.
Seems to me that every election there is a competition to see who is the most outraged. I suspect it’s the same on the left.
If he’s sucking the air out of the room, it’s only because the GOP has created a mass of disaffected conservatives who are sick and tired of the go along to get along, bipartisan, reach across the aisle, give the Democrats what they want Republicans!
Tell me how Jebbie Bush is substantially different from Hillary Clinton on the main policy issues. If you’re a conservative who thinks we need to start controlling immigration, you have nowhere left to go but Trump, Cruz, and maybe Walker. The rest of the Republicans are SURRENDERCRATS.
That's because those "sorts of conservative" candidates aren't saying a damn thing worth listening to. They all sound like like politically emasculated wimps; all trying to sound "positive", non confrontational, bipartisan blah blah blah. They all sound like Hillary! At least Trump is willing to speak out about those issues Republicans find so personally embarrassing. Trump may be insincere in his switch to conservatism but at least he isn't wimp!
