Trump argued he is surging in national polls because he represents the Tea Party supporters ignored by Democrats and betrayed by Republicans.
“I love the Tea Party,” Trump said. “You people have not been treated fairly. These are people who work hard and love their country, and then get beat up by the media. It’s disgusting.”
“At least I have a microphone and can fight back,” the outspoken billionaire added.
Trump indicated he envisions a much wider base for his campaign than traditional Republican voters next election cycle.
“You don’t know how big you are,” he told listeners. “The Tea Party has tremendous power. It’s Democrats, it is evangelicals, it is everybody.”
I think he is right. It’s not just Republicans that are angry. Only perhaps 10-15% of the electorate is hard left, but all the rest never hear any alternative ideas. They are shut out. The Democrat run media censors them, and the Republicans either don’t protest or actively cooperate. There is NO WAY that a debate where Donald Trump is present will not include the presentation of new ideas, and new ways of thinking, ways which coincide with what many, many people have been saying privately, but thought nobody else thought, or would even listen to.
Here’s the bumper sticker: PRESIDENT Donald Trump: get used to saying it.
I keep thinking of Lincoln’s comment on Grant. All sorts of negatives were brought out about him, about his drinking, about his character, to which Lincolns responded “But he FIGHTS”.
We’ve had enough McClellan’s.
