Interpreting the TRUMP
Craze…

Since the
first GOP presidential debates, there is no denying
that business mogul Donald Trump has rocketed to
early frontrunner status in the 2016 GOP race for
the White House. Properly interpreting the message
behind his early success is an interesting endeavor…
Before
Trump entered the fray, there was another even
clearer frontrunner, who also was not officially in
the race at the time.
In a field
of
prospective candidates back in February,
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker was the landslide
leader of the field with a whopping 47% of the
conservative vote, his closest rivals being Ted Cruz
at 13.5% and Rand Paul at 13%. Jeb Bush was back in
the field at around 5%. It looked like Walker was a
shoo-in for the GOP nomination, with Trump at only
1% back then.
So, what is
it about Trump that has turned the GOP race on its
head?
In short,
Trump is viewed as the irreverent straight-talking
anti-establishment non-politician candidate… Known
for his heavy browed sharp tongued quips, short
temper and “your fired” attitude, he has captured
the imagination of the great unwashed and
excessively frustrated American “right” who have
given up on the “kinder-gentler” Republican
turncoats of the past and opted for someone they
think may actually do something that matters…
Simply
stated, Trump is willing to talk about issues no
other candidate is willing to talk about, and take
positions that represent a vast majority of
Americans that have been labeled “politically
incorrect” by the RINO class of Republicans that
have infected the GOP for far too long.
The people
want real change… pro-American change, not Global
Community Organizing intended to make America just
another 3rd world member of the global
commune. They want someone who says they will “Make
America Great Again” and they think that person is
Donald Trump.
Whether or
not Trump is that person, only time will tell and in
the meanwhile, people are so hungry for a real
American to lead America, that they are willing to
try anything at this point.
As a
result, the GOP field now looks like this today…
Trump 22%
Bush 10.7%
Carson
9.7%
Walker
7.7%
Rubio 7.3%
Cruz 7.3%
Fiorina
6.3%
Paul 4.3%
Kasich
4.3%
Huckabee
4.3%
Christie
3.3%
Perry 1.3%
Santorum
1%
Jindal .7%
Graham .3%
(Based
on RCP national poll averages)
What is the
real Trump effect?
Who has
Trump helped or harmed in the race?
Jeb Bush
has gone from the back of the field to 2nd, from 5%
to 10.7% - Trump has helped Bush.
Ben Carson
has gone from 1% to 9.7% since Trump entered the
race, helping Carson.
The big
loser is Scott Walker, who once enjoyed a 47%
position and now is in 4th place at
7.7%... the only man in the race to ever face off
with leftist labor unions and defeat them, three
times in a row… turning Wisconsin around by freeing
the people of Wisconsin from the bankrupting power
of public sector unions…
Fiorina,
Huckabee, Kasich and Christie have all enjoyed a
bump in the polls following Trumps entry to the
race. But Walker, Cruz, Rubio and Paul have all
taken it on the chin since Trump came on the scene.
Yet, Trump
is not picking up the 47% that Walker once held.
Instead, those voters are being scattered over the
field of fifteen GOP candidates, leaving the
frontrunner with only 22% of the vote, 78% of the
voters preferring someone other than Trump.
History
repeats?
In 2008,
John McCain won the GOP nomination, but with only
47% of the primary vote, going on to lose the
general election to Barack Hussein Obama.
In 2012,
Mitt Romney won the GOP nomination with 52% of the
primary vote, and still lost the general election to
Barack Hussein Obama.
Despite
the rock star status of Donald Trump, he only has
the support of 22% of primary voters at present,
nowhere near enough to become a major contender in
the 2016 general elections. The other 78% of GOP
voters appear to be scattered across a field of
fifteen GOP candidates, none of them with as much
support as Trump, as of today…
A Recipe
for Disaster?
According
to previous outcomes in similar circumstances, this
does appear to be a recipe for disaster.
Only about
30% of registered American voters actually believe
in the leftist direction of today’s leftist Democrat
Party. But the remaining 70% of American voters are
divided by too many GOP and 3rd party
choices, again… and the divided 70% is no match for
the very united 30% leftist voters who have been
running roughshod for years now…
Just in
case the “facts” matter, which is somewhat unlikely
today… The following GOP candidates should not even
be in the race for the reasons stated below.
Carson
9.7% (In way over his head)
Rubio 7.3%
(constitutionally ineligible, anchor baby)
Cruz 7.3%
(constitutionally ineligible, Canadian at Birth)
Fiorina
6.3% (a political fraud)
Paul 4.3%
(a political fraud)
Kasich
4.3% (a stone cold loser)
Huckabee
4.3% (a stone cold loser)
Christie
3.3% (a stone cold loser)
Perry 1.3%
(a stone cold loser)
Santorum
1% (constitutionally ineligible, anchor baby)
Jindal .7%
(constitutionally ineligible, anchor baby)
Graham .3%
(a political fraud)
(Just my
very well researched and educated opinion)
These
candidates are currently tying up 50.1% of the
primary vote…. None of them going anywhere in their
campaigns, but all of them keeping GOP voters from
being able to unite behind any real eligible and
qualified GOP candidate.
The
strategy for victory for the left is quite simple,
divide and conquer the right…
The Trump
factor
To be
honest, I like Trump personally and agree with much
of his campaign rhetoric, especially his current
position on immigration. However, I often agree with
much of what people say on their campaign trail,
only to watch them do something very different after
the election. So I have learned not to put much
stock in what any of them say at campaign time…
Politicians are much like stand-up comedians… they
play to the applause lines. With each stump speech,
they learn which sound bites are applause lines and
they play to the audience, regardless of their
internal beliefs or silent intentions. There is no
better example of this than Barack Hussein Obama…
who campaigned as a pro-American pro-Capitalism
centrist uniter, only to lead like a tyrannical
communist dictator after the election.
Does Trump
mean everything he is saying? I don’t know… and
neither do you! But his past, that of a master user
of political opportunities, indicates he is capable
of moving in any direction and doing business with
anyone who serves his personal agenda.
Any
Solution?
Well, take
a look at the competition in the DNC primary race…
Clinton
49.3%
Sanders
25%
Biden 12%
O’Malley
1.7%
Webb 1.3%
86.3% of
DNC primary voters are united behind only three DNC
candidates… with Clinton running far out front. This
is what party unity looks like. This is how a party
wins elections… How can the divided GOP possibly
compete with very united DNC?
The only
solution is unity… and as long as there are twelve
GOP candidates tying up 50.1% of the vote without
even belonging in the race at all, that unity is
impossible.
Yes, it is
early and in general, I support the notion that
every individual should support the primary
candidate of their choice. But at no time should
that ever include blatantly ineligible or
unqualified candidates, or even stone cold losers
from years gone by…
Do you have
to agree with me or do as I suggest?
No…. you
can ignore these facts, but at your own peril…
