Trump (D-NY) is a demagogue and speaks is broad generalizations. In a meeting with Democrat operatives looking to throw the election to their party a careful analysis was made of the most volatile members of the TEA Party movement. The GOPe was bushwhacked by TEA Party, but the Democrats always worried about the TEA Party. So they moved first.
What they found about the most Volatile TEA Partiers (and that’s what they called them) they had four push button issues all revolving around a 1950s nostalgia for American ‘greatness’. They are:
1. Immigration in general and specifically illegal immigration.
2. Red China and the ‘trade deficit’.
3. The military and specifically veterans with the VA and honoring them as a backdrop.
4. The coastal elites and their disdain for conservative values across a bevy of issues.
The Volatiles were looking for a brash champion to carry their cause forward. They want fighters, bombasts who take on the media and break through with tough words never backing down.
Thus was born the campaign of Trump (D-NY). Note bene that he hits on each of those issues with vague platitudes and is heroic in nature, brash to the point of tendentiousness and aggressive. Polling showed a candidate like that would peel off about 12-22% of the GOP electorate during the Primaries. More than enough even at the low end to kill off the most electable conservative candidates.
Scott Adams gets it, hopefully conservatives will too.
Just where is your proof to back up these outrageous claims?
You mean those targeted by the Republican establishment?
Therefore we are supposed to vote Republican and the Republicans are no better if not worse than democrats. Either way we are screwed. May as well for Trump to see if he is for real because the Republicans are not going to do us any good as the last 2 election cycles have proven.
