I don't think they'll affect him until or unless his campaign makes the cut to top seed and needs to broaden their appeal to voters who care about such things.<br /><br />Your <i>PP/Republican women</i> observation expresses the truth better than I ever could.petrillihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889489779105405703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-54883342812462288432015-08-12T02:50:17.070-04:002015-08-12T02:50:17.070-04:00I like petrilli's analysis.

But Jeb! or Scottie or whoever will move up in the polls, likely at a rate faster than Trump, who is currently profiting from high name recognition & media attention.<br /><br />5. Investigative journalism. Right now "investigations" of Trump have been limited mostly to Googling his past racist & misogynistic remarks. Sooner or later, some media outlets will expose (with the help of rival candidates' oppo research teams) his shady business practices. These reports may seep into the GOP zeitgeist, transforming "tell it like it is Trump" into "cutthroat Trump."<br /><br />Marie<br /><br />P.S. Those loons over at Free Republic? They're men. There are still some women in the Republican party, & a significant percentage of them have had abortions; all have had reproductive healthcare needs. They don't see defunding Planned Parenthood as a litmus test. In fact, some of them are active PP supporters.marieburnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551898556011521804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-33463025542531074932015-08-11T23:22:33.389-04:002015-08-11T23:22:33.389-04:00One or more of these things will sink Trump with t...One or more of these things will sink Trump with the GOP.<br /><br />1. The eventual transition to a mature, less Id based professional candidacy. If he transitions, he'll lose the crazy base supporters. If he doesn't transition, He won't win primaries.<br /><br />2. Public and Media tire of him. Overexposure, Trump fatigue, Trump backlash. <br /><br />3. Insider GOP politics, convention and administrative shenanigans by the party elite who have had it in for him since day one, but couldn't beat him face to face.petrillihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889489779105405703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-35661134602125830162015-08-11T22:48:25.739-04:002015-08-11T22:48:25.739-04:00He'll lose the rabid anti-choice crowd.

But as long as he keeps attacking the right people and stroking those fascist pleasure zones, he'll be OK. I don't think it will hurt him in the polls much and his core of support will hold IMO. Besides, if he thinks for a minute this could sink him, he'll just take it back, and they'll calm down like the obnoxious sheep they are. But he won't have to. Same goes for past statements about national healthcare, Social Security, etc. Teflon on that. Hate the <i>other</i>, Take what's ours, Make America classy and fabulous again, Skull f**k the losers, That's his ticket to the big Tuesday.<br /><br />Anyway, we'll know soon enough.petrillihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889489779105405703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-71480874113704471352015-08-11T22:08:54.126-04:002015-08-11T22:08:54.126-04:00Steve M., those Freepsters are ACTIVE GOP voters, ...Steve M., those Freepsters are ACTIVE GOP voters, the type that show up to vote R for school council and pet control, no matter what. If I'm right, Trump's support is largely made up of IFFY GOP voters, who'll show up if there's a band to follow or otherwise to feel part of a sure thing.
