that shows problems for Trump.
*********
Trump’s propensity to alienate the supporters of other conservative candidates is his major problem. Yesterday, he said:
“Ask Jeb Bush if he enjoys running against me. Ask Lindsey Graham, did he enjoy running against Trump? Ask Perry, ask Gov. Perry. Ask Bobby Jindal,” Trump said. “Ask all of these guys that have gone out, do they enjoy running against Trump?”
He took out Carson with a personal attack. How could Trump then reasonably expect Carson’s voters to gravitate to him, when they had Cruz as a conservative alternative?
In his comments yesterday, there is no earthly reason to continue to attack Perry and Jindal— they’re gone.
These personal attacks may bolster his base, but they limit his appeal to the supporters of the conservative candidates that he insults on a personal level.
His attack on Carson was inexplicable— and now he continues with Perry and Jindal. That’s his problem.
Shows problems for Cruz. 2/3 of his supporters aren’t solid. 2/3 of Trump’s are.
More polls looking good for Cruz.
I agree with everything you said.
Did you watch the rally? It wasn’t an attack against them at all. It is an incomplete and out of context quote. Probably meant to rile you up, and it worked.
The longer he runs the more "raw" he gets.....there's a reason advisers keep telling him to reel it in, I not convinced that he can...his hyper sensitivity gets in the way, which most with Trumps personality have in abundance but learned to control..
