TRUMP STRATEGY DANGEROUS TO ALL ESTABLISHMENT
LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS COMING
Today we see that Hillary Clinton has tested her first negative ad against Donald Trump. Some say it is devastating because it shows Mitt Romney, the Bushes, and many leaders of the republican establishment demonizing Trump. The Bushes announced they will sit out this election, the Koch brothers have announced they may support Hillary. Many are sticking with the "Never Trump" rhetoric. They had all better think twice about what is probably about to happen. They have now set Mr. Trump in a place he wants to be. He is now positioned to run as the ultimate outsider, the man of the people. He will now be able, in good conscience, to rail against the establishment of both parties. He will condemn the policies of Bush, Clinton, Romney, Obama, Kerry, and Graham with equal vehemence. He will be able to show the proof of their corruption.
None of them learned the lesson of the primaries - there were 4 outsiders, Trump, Sanders, Cruz and Carson. Trump was the boldest and most visible. Sanders challenged Clinton with a socialist populist message, labeling Clinton as corrupt, dishonest and part of the Washington cartel, (borrowed from Ted Cruz in his early days). Trump questioned the policies of Bush and Graham and was not fearful of saying unkind things about the leaders of the establishment. Carson faded- being an authentic nice guy, but not strong enough of a personality to be president. Cruz started as Trump's ally, blasting the establishment and the Washington cartel. He did well until South Carolina when he courted the old bosses and went negative on Trump. When he stopped blasting the cartel and made allies with the establishment insiders he began his decline. The republicans, whether candidates or "Stop Trump" groups, ran 60,000 negative ads and spent $150 million to put Trump down. The more they attached the more Trump rose. Trump is very capable of baiting the opposition and when they respond he is now the victim of the insiders. Sanders has also benefited as an outsider and attacker of the Washington cartel.
Most Americans are dissatisfied and unhappy with the leadership of the country by both parties and they are primed for change because of the massive corruption in government at all levels. Everyone wants the inside angle on the vast amounts of money that government has at its disposal. Americans are just beginning to realize that we have a third world level of corruption with a pretty face. Every decision seems to be based on how we or our allies profit from this treaty, deal, or policy. Trump is well aware of this and has positioned himself to take full advantage of this reality. Expect a scorched earth attack on Washington, beginning with Hillary, but not leaving out republican leaders who he can label as part of the cartel. The left hates Bush, the Koch brothers and others; the right hates Hillary, Obama, etc. He will run against all insiders and the more attack ads they run against him the better. It will not be long till the attack ads will become irrelevant and have no effect except to prove that if they all hate Trump this much, he must be the man for the times.
he is certainly the ultimate outsider. contrary to popular belief, he will win in november with an unusual coalition; blue collar democrats, independents and non-establishment republicans. minorities, who were energized for obama, will not so readily come out for hillary.
