He's definitely off...You gotta love the Donald. He's definitely off the GOP "reservation" on this, and now he's even thrown away the beloved republican dog whistle. He's speaking fluent nativist, much to the delight of the base, (and to the consternation and chagrin of the donor class).<br /><br />The GOP propaganda delivery system of which I call the media is all atwitter over this. They just love the messenger. They only hate to have to mansplain the message.<br /><br />Here's the gameplan:<br /><br />"Based on estimates of the composition of the 2016 electorate, if the next GOP nominee wins the same share of the white vote as Mitt Romney won in 2012 (59 percent), he or she would need to win 30 percent of the nonwhite vote. Set against recent history, that is a daunting obstacle. Romney won only 17 percent of nonwhite voters in 2012. John McCain won 19 percent in 2008. George W. Bush won 26 percent in 2004. Put another way, if the 2016 nominee gets no better than Romney’s 17 percent of the nonwhite vote, he or she would need 65 percent of the white vote to win, a level achieved in modern times only by Ronald Reagan in his 1984 landslide".<br /><br />http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/a-rubio-campaign-blueprint-for-all-the-world-to-see/2015/05/23/6711c5ba-00ca-11e5-8b6c-0dcce21e223d_story.html<br /><br />Me thinks the GOP is focused on the 65%michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8150494391278881634.post-20240684987896076792015-07-12T21:07:15.128-04:002015-07-12T21:07:15.128-04:00Trump's sin is NOT what he is saying. Trump...Trump's sin is NOT what he is saying. Trump's sin is that he's not saying it in Frank Luntz -approved language that would enable the MSM to hide behind. Trump is feeding the base filet mignon. I repeat - he is NOT talking to a ' sliver' of the GOP. He is talking to the BASE and way beyond the BASE. You are right about being anti-Latino wasn't bad in 2014...but, 2016, not only Presidential, but Senate races where the Latino vote is very important.rikyrahnoreply@blogger.com
