eaf is righ...Trump is completely out of his depth.<br /><br />eaf is right about his base. Low information angry white predominantly christian males can't carry him beyond the GOP primaries. <br /><br />At this point, he's already lost the significant ethnic groups (Hispanic, Blacks and Asians) so he pretty much needs to overwhelmingly win the white vote (male and female.) The major problem is that McCain and Romney won a slim majority of white voters and still lost significantly to Obama.<br /><br />Trump has proven to be so damn thin skinned that all Hillary has to do now is poke him a few times and he'll go nuts. His ego/masculinity/small hands won't let a woman get the best of him and he'll do it so badly and with so over the top misogyny that he'll lose the female vote just on principle.<br /><br />The GOP doesn't get that they have become the political Trump Taj Mahal and he is going to lead them straight into political Chapter 11.Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-73002943249827591132016-06-08T14:18:58.052-04:002016-06-08T14:18:58.052-04:00https://twitter.com/geoffgarin/status/740377883735...https://twitter.com/geoffgarin/status/740377883735130112<br /><br />Geoff Garin<br />@geoffgarin<br />The contrast between Hillary's speech and Trump's speech tonight should deepen the panic in the Republican Party.

It seems that a lot American voters, and a whole party on the right, don't care that he is a pathological liar and a fraud. On the last episode of Real Time, someone claimed that if any other candidate went after a judges credentials based on his parents ethniticity, (and I would add, refusal to disavow an endorsement from the Klan, threatened to 'Brownshirt' a whole group of American citizens simply based on their religious beliefs, attacks the media when confronted by a reporter who asks tough questions instead of lobbing him soft ball fluff, makes insensitive, and frankly, repulsive, attacks against special needs people, makes ridiculous claims to build a wall and have the Mexicans pay for it) they would be toast and their campaign would be over. It also is amazing to me that the media, even outlets that are supposedly left leaning, are giving this guy unlimited access to their airwaves. At first I thought this was funny, and that it would make for another great comedic Republican presidential primary show, with the nut bars spouting their insane rhetoric for the sane people of the world to laugh at, but now I'm scared. I look at the past elections from our neighbors to the south, especially the fact that they elected George Dubya, TWICE!', and it scares the bejesus out of me. The worse part is, is that Hillary is probably hated by as many Americans, as Trump is, and if she does indeed win the Democratic nomination, than the election will be a flip of the coin type of scenario, and there is no way in the 21st, that a guy like Trump should even be considered a candidate in a race to be the leader of the most powerful country in the world. I feel like I'm living in Bizarro World.

Trump to date has simply made statements and doesn't answer questions, much like the B.C. Lieberals in B.C. they and Donald deflect. its a good skill, but at this point the American media will be more instant than say the B.C. media.<br /><br />Trump will no longer be able to just ramble. There will be journalists who will continue to bring him back to the point/question. That will be troublesome for Trump. <br /><br />On the other hand, they say his base is older white males. They now make up only 19% of the American population. However, give the very low voter turn out in the U.S.A. one can not say Clinton is in, yet.<br /><br />Of course it will be entertaining to hear from the more serious people in Europe, Australia, etc. regarding Trump. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.com
