Trump has built a wall of support that is steadily growing and with his very serious proposals on Immigration, 2nd Amendment and Taxes he has solidified it. I don’t think some of his critics have really appreciated the scope of what Trump has at his disposal. The area I see him most weak is on foreign policy but that can be fixed with a policy release and I’m sure he is planning to do just that.
Those who have tried to cast Trump as a fool are really showing their own foolishness. The guy didn’t come back from the bring of financial ruin by accident. As for his favorability ratings for the general he has a lot up his sleeve and in reserve to help soften the public up again. We’ve seen very little of his wife and family. Also anyone who has taken time to watch one of his interviews can see how credible he comes off when he is let be himself in a non hostile environment. The media even though they should hate Trump also can’t help seeing him as a ratings and $$$ bonanza for them. He can’t be ignored.
I expect Trump’s game plan to continue to mature. I think if he makes it to NH with his voting block intact he will win both Iowa and New Hampshire and if he can do that I think Super Tuesday will be just a for gone conclusion because the South loves it some Trump. Whether you like him or not he clearly doesn’t have disdain for southerners or conservatives and that is one of the keys that he has that Romney nor Bush have. He makes the base feel valuable and respected and not just the base but a lot of forgotten Americans also. He talks to where they are and to their hopes, dreams, and stresses.
This is the area where the GOP-E have failed. They have literally used and abused their base. They have deceived and disappointed us. They act as though we are an inconvenience that must be tolerated. Trump, Carson, and others like Cruz who fight them have forever changed the game and I’m delighted to see this election season be the season of Outsiders.
Ping!!

BTTT!
Just a reflection/observation, keying off of some things you said - we the average conservative, as well as regular Joe-The-Plumber Americans are sick of Washington lying to us for so many years - we ‘Republicans’ thought that the moral standing of our party’s platform somehow equated to or translated into our elected officials basing their conduct and integrity on that same platform (pro-life, 2A, Liberty, religious freedoms) - but no, it hasn’t. It was a wrong assumption. And we are not just sick of it - we DO have alternatives this election.
Now, take that basis of what I’m saying and apply it to the Demoncrats - their base, and I will be so bold to say it, the amoral/immoral God-less, selfish voters ARE and HAVE BEEN basing their voting on the Democratic platform - ‘Pro-Abortion, Pro-immorality(Gays/Lesbians, etc.) and that’s why they will vote for Hitlery no matter what - or, whoever else they put in there - because they KNOW that ANY of their candidates are the same Godless Amoral type.
I.e., We CARE, We stand for what’s right - that’s why we have Righteous indignation - thus Trump (a Doer). They don’t. They want -> Wickedness.
I agree with you. Trump can handle the South. He comes down here and he doesn’t sound like an ivy league p@!@$, but speaks with common sense, which is in darn low supply in DC, and speaks to our real concerns.
