Selecting Donald Trump as the way to stop the Hillary Clinton juggernaut seems as sensible as picking Shorty Guzman as Mexican transport minister because he organized the building of a mile-long tunnel to escape prison.
Unless it were in a Key and Peele skit, it
makes no sense to choose someone who supports everything that Republican party
has shown to be off the grid.
On top of that, as if he were on a wall about
to fall off, the hotelier has chosen to insult the growing Hispanic voting
population.
Perhaps he should leave it to New Jersey Gov.
Chris Christie to attack those he doesn’t agree with.
Yet Trump continues to float to the top of
Republican presidential polls.
The New York Times reports: “Republicans who
are worried about Mr. Trump’s ascent argue that it is still early in the race
and that his poll numbers are driven by his name recognition.” How much longer
this line of thought can continue to hold more water than a board is
questionable.
Should Trump win a primary he might have
built a castle that will be hard to bring down.
Times notes that the surging poll numbers
come with unfavorability ratings hitting 61 percent. Will that make it possible
for party bosses to veto him.
It appears unlikely that Hispanics can stop him
in early primaries, no matter how angry they are.
Former Mexican President Vincente Fox says
Trump is an idiot.
"He's acted like an idiot. ... I don't
know how he's made so much money. He doesn't deserve it," he said.
The bottom line is that Trump trails Hillary
Clinton 51 to 34 percent.
Trump’s message, that he wants to take the
country back, may resonate with Americans who believe the rich control the
country.
"The real problem isn't that the Republicans have such a
hate-spewing character running for president," Democratic presidential
outsider Martin O'Malley said. "The problem is that it's so hard to tell
him apart from the other candidates."
Speaking at a conference of the National Council of La Raza,
Democrats were ready to hand Trump the nomination.
