I am republican, and from NH, and bombarded with politics night and day on TV. I actually hate politics and politicians, which is why Donald offers something different. However, I can tell you that so many republicans I know, who can just not tolerate Donald's often abrasive, arrogant and sometimes immature approach to a topic will end up killing him in the long term. These people, almost to a person, said if Trump wins the Republican nod, they will vote democrat, be it Bernie or Hillary. I think they represent the vast majority of republicans who may not back him currently. He is either loved or hated. He needs to stop the often carnival like act, handle criticism and his responses with class, and then he might start to win over those that just cannot stand how he presents himself. His agenda gets lost in his presentation, and his often "16 year old like" attacks on people gets old. This is not reality TV. If he wants to be president he should start to act like a president and think before he speaks. We need change, and I'm not a Hillary fan, but think she would destroy him in a general election, which is too bad, because Donald has something to offer, but perception is everything, and its his Achilles heel. No one wants a hot head as president, ready to "push the button" at any moment.
Just my view from the bench. |
