I’ve regularly said that Donald speaks like a spoiled third grader. I think I’ll have to alter that. By third grade they teach you that every complete sentence has to have a subject and a verb. He clearly hasn’t reached that threshold.

And yet he is winning the majority of delegates in the primary and hitting new highs in the poll. People seem to understand Trump just fine - even with no "subject and verb" sentences.

In this election cycle and many others, the candidates who do it in your favored way, using the highest grade level communication, lose.

Not really. It's far worse than that. People read into his comments whatever they themselves want to hear. He thus becomes everything to everyone. The last successful presidential candidate to do this was named Obama.

First, he is not winning the majority of the delegates. Less than fifty percent is not a majority.

Second, the new RCP Average shows Hillary widening the gap between herself an Trump and winning the national election.

A vote for Trump in the primaries seems to be a vote for Hillary in the general election.

>> he is winning the majority of delegates in the primary <<

Uh, no.

A plurality of less than 50% isn’t a majority.

You sound like Trump, “winning” and “losing” being the end-all.

FRiend, this isn’t about a trophy. The “winner” takes on a heavy load of leadership.

This transcript shows the depths of Trump’s ignorance. This thread shows the height of his supporters’ delusion. They read into his mostly incoherant responses whatever they want to hear.
