Because he’s now the presumptive nominee and is running against HILLARY.
You don’t run farther to the extremes in the general. You go right to the middle.
Trump has a huge advantage by locking in the nomination so early. Hillary is still struggling with Sanders and he’s pushing her ever-left.
The WV coal miner situation is the perfect example.
Sanders pushed Hillary left - into the arms of the envirowackos. Trump attacks her on coal jobs. When she gets to WV, she’s met with a bunch of angry coal workers.
Trump has just locked up WV with the one issue that they’re desperate about.
This is not the time to start pontificating conservative social issues. If he sticks with the economy and security, he’ll have Hillary’s guts on the ground before the Conventions.
This is about WINNING THE FREAKING GENERAL NOW.
“You don’t run farther to the extremes in the general. You go right to the middle.”
You’re correct, that is the exactly the pattern of Progressives.
I would think that Trump being nominated as the next “Reagan Conservative” that will surely “make America great again” would be something worth sticking by and clarifying to the entirety of the party. You seem to think differently. That’s fine, but we should at least be honest about it and not fall for some reporter telling flat out lies.
Trump is the presumptive nominee but the othrs did not quit their campaigns they only suspended them.
Trump still needs that magic number of 1237
