Do differently if he were secretly working with Hillary to split the Republicans and insure her election?
This is the question asked by conservative pundit Allen Ginzburg. Made me laugh, then think. Then I realized the answer- If he were secretly working for the Clintons, He would be running a better campaign.
He’d probably be running a “better” campaign but I doubt he would be running a more successful one. Trump’s success has more or less over turned every bit of conventional knowledge about campaigns. His success come from the fact that he wasn’t actually trying to win. He was just trying to promote himself and as it turns out there is a drooling fringe on the right who believed his self promotion. If was actually a plant, he would be a bit more careful and in the process lose everything that has given his success. No one not even he anticipated that he would actually succeed with his act. But it just goes to show that it is impossible to fully underestimate the intellectual capacity of the angry fringe of the Republican party.
I don’t think a “better campaign” exists. Trump is a running national joke (that is, he was long before his presidential run) who is currently head and shoulders above the rest of the field in the primary race for one of two major party nominations.
We’re not talking about Fred Thompson or some other celebrity-become-serious-pol. We’re talking about a businessman who is famous for bankrupting businesses, a reality show, and a really awful hairpiece.
Now, Trump doesn’t have a hope in hell of winning the nomination; the voters he has now are all he’s getting, while other voters will start lining up behind the serious candidates when the field thins. But it’s hard to see how he could have done a better job attracting Republican primary voters.
I think he would be more careful with his language in order to prevent some potential disaster that could result in him getting out of the race sooner. And so he wouldn’t have so many public business partners bailing out of their deals with him.
Title edited for clarity.
Keep in mind that there are basically three key positions in Donald Trump’s campaign platform;
I can’t see him being willing to compromise any of those core beliefs in order to help someone else.
slow clap
We haven’t seen the climax of his plan to get Hillary Clinton elected yet. That will happen several months from now when Trump endorses the eventual Republican nominee and praises him for the way he shares Trump’s vision.
What about his “women” perspective? I would think a lot of women like the fact that he insulted the hell out of Kelly on Fox News. I don’t see any pro-women talk from any other candidate, and that includes Fiorino and Bachmann. (!!)
Don’t be silly. Donald Trump is very popular with women. He’s going to win the woman vote. He’ll do things for women nobody else can.
We know this to be true because Donald Trump said so, and as established above, Donald Trump is very smart.
I have a campaign slogan to suggest:
“An orgasm in every vagina! And no more bleeding either!”
