Unless Trump totally fucks up in the remainder of the debates, he's a lock for the Republican nominee. Right now he is under a tremendous amount of pressure because the only thing that is going to bring him down is himself. The election is his to lose at this point.
I understand some may hate to read that, but it is what it is. Trump is a lock (at this time)
I am sorry, but you are wrong! He is certainly a player in it, and yes he could win, but things change quickly in politics, and 8 or 9 months is a very, very, long time.
You'd be right if Trump was just a regular insider i.e politician. this is a whole new game now. The old rules don't apply anymore. This is not politics anymore.......this is a movement. This is the American people giving the Republican establishment a great big fuck you with a blow me tossed in for good measure.
And I agree with you 100% my friend. But the problem for him lies in that he has brought the problems to the forefront, but his only answers are that he is "that good to fix them." I personally believe that the other outsiders are going to eat his lunch in the next few debates, but only time will tell. It won't be them attacking him, for if they do, they are dumb as a box of rocks. Rather, it will be more concise answers/solutions to the problems he has raised.
Just as all politicians, if you call up any of the candidates interviews on youtube, you will discover that they constantly say the same thing, over, and over, and over, again. It is to get their message out to as many people as possible, by every avenue possible. Well and good, yes? But when they are asked specifics, that is where the rubber meets the road.
Last debate, they wanted to attack him somewhat. This time, they will out answer him, and he will be in a quandary. Why? It is one thing to insist your plan, is better than someone elses plan, then give the reasons why. But, it is ridiculous to attack a plan, when the only plan you have is "I am a great business man," and "I will get back to you."
The Democrats have used this method incessantly if you haven't noticed, and they DO have a point. How? "Don't like Obamacare? What is your alternative?" The silence is deafening, isn't it? Oh sure, certain Republicans have put up a plan, but have you heard the lot of them jumping on board, insisting that it would be better than Obamacare? Of course not, because to jump on board with a plan means now THEY are on the hook if it doesn't work! But I digress.
Point is, Trump had better have answers to the problems he has pointed out, because if he doesn't and someone else does............and it sounds plausible, he will start falling in the polls quickly.
