will Trump be on the ticket?
**************
Maybe not. Action, conviction and passion frightens a lot of people. The GOP desperately wants to maintain the status quo. It will work tirelessly to protect the establishment and will undermine Trump at every turn.
I’m thinking more and more Trump just might be serious. It’s already been mentioned, he’s losing business and laughs it off. That is getting my attention. Anyone else in the race would have folded by now. Some of the losses might be offset by lawsuits, he has a good breach of contract case in at least one.
I’ve said this before, Trump is getting this much attention because he is saying what the people are thinking and it looks more and more like he means it. He believes it. Nobody else is doing that, maybe Cruz. I’m pretty sure Cruz means what he says too.
That’s what is pushing Trump’s popularity, he’s not trying to be politically correct, he says what he thinks, in plain language, with no apologies. And so for he’s been right.
The timing of this murder in San Francisco is uncanny. Trump stirs up a hornet’s nest with his comments on illegal immigration, within a couple of days the entire Republican party is throwing rocks in his direction, a couple more days and this incident underlines his statements. That just gives him more ammunition, and of course he grabbed it immediately, still not backing down, and goes up in the polls.
Yeah polls don’t mean much this early in the game, anything can happen but after all the financial setbacks he’s not only not backing down, he’s going full steam ahead. That doesn’t sound like someone who’s not in it for the gold. I’m more convinced all the time he looks like a serious contender.
Another thing I’ve said, and I think we need to realize is this. All the hoopla over illegal immigration is something we know now is very important to the people, but it’s not the issue that’s pissing off the politicians. Their issue is another comment nobody has mentioned...
Politicians are all talk and no action.
Trump has said that at least a dozen times and nobody has said a word about it, not even the media. He indicted the entire group with that comment, and they don’t like it at all. But they can’t use it against him, that would be political suicide. Hit back on that one, you’re admitting it’s true or at least it bothers you.
That’s where all the blowback is coming from, the illegal immigration issue started as a convenient smokescreen. It turned out to be such a hot button issue with the public everybody is going nuts trying to figure out how to deal with it while Trump says I told you so.
So far he has been right every time. He’s saying what he thinks, what he apparently believes, and it resonates with the general public, and not only Republicans, he’s losing business and still not backing down and don’t think people don’t notice that too.
It’s going to be an interesting show, where’s the popcorn?
