Trump Reaches Across the Aisle to Grab Democrats and Independents -- and the GOP Establishment Doesn't Like It!
March 08, 2016

...

And the expansion includes people that were normally qualified as Reagan Democrats, Hispanics, African-Americans, women. Trump is doing it. And there's, oh, mounds of evidence for it. Let's look at some of the open primaries that have taken place. A number of Democrats, as we predicted... Trump's going out, he's actually playing to them, and they are crossing the aisle and voting for Trump in these primaries. In closed primaries where they can't cross over and vote for Trump, Republicans are winning those.

Cruz primarily is winning Republican primaries that are closed, like Oklahoma was closed. Now, Trump is specifically making a play for this group, and in this group of people is white middle class voters who the Democrat Party has written off. And Dan Balz... I think it was Dan Balz. A former Washington Post columnist wrote in November of 2011, I think it was, that the Democrats plan to write off white working class votes. And if you look at Obama's economic policy, look at Obama's Obamacare policy, he is.

Can Conservatives Deal with a Bigger GOP Tent?
By Christopher Chantrill

...

For conservatives the Trumpsters are a problem because (can you believe it!) they still support Social Security and Medicare and fences and protection and other embarrassments. For liberals they are the discarded mistress, a reminder of a time long ago when liberals loved to adorn their working-class little darlings with government baubles in return for their electoral services.

But I got a clue about the Trump folks the other morning reading Michael Mann and his multi-volume Sources of Social Power. He argued that the bourgeois revolutions like the American and French Revolution were driven not by the capitalists and big businessmen, the bourgeoisie of Karl Marx, but by the ordinary shopkeepers and tradesmen. The big boys could wheel and deal with the old regime and find a place in its patronage networks, but the middle-class shopkeepers and small businessmen were cut out. It was their frustrations that drove the revolutions and then forced the “notables” to lead them.

Isn’t that eerily familiar? For today’s conservative elite life isn’t so bad. With our education and our connections we can wive and thrive in the liberal world even if we hate it. Not convinced? Here is the latest from Angelo Codevilla (H/T Maggie Gallagher):

America is now ruled by a uniformly educated class of persons that occupies the commanding heights of bureaucracy, of the judiciary, education, the media, and of large corporations, and that wields political power through the Democratic Party. Its control of access to prestige, power, privilege, and wealth exerts a gravitational pull that has made the Republican Party’s elites into its satellites.

But the Trumpsters are out in the cold. No commanding heights or satellite knolls for them. And all they want is a decent job and family and decent prospect for their kids. They are angry and frustrated, and they are afraid for their children.

And by the way, let us conservatives ask how long we will be allowed to operate as naughty dissenters to the liberal ruling class, and allowed to pick up the crumbs from the liberal patronage machine? The portents are pretty clear. You will be made to care, heretics, or the activist speech police will know the reason why.

So I think the challenge in the spring of 2016 is on conservatives. Do we have the generosity and the kindness to open the tent flaps of the GOP to the Trumpsters, let them swarm all over the place, and give them succor after their wanderings in the political wilderness in the years since the Civil Rights Acts morphed into what John Derbyshire calls Jim Snow laws? Or are we going to create a #NeverTrump safe space and hide from the endless microaggressions of Obama’s America? There will be time enough to argue about the shape of the new Republican Party in the years to come, and debate how our Joshua will march us around the walls of the liberal city of Jericho, blowing our trumpets till the walls come a-tumbling down. But right now we have a tribe of migrants knocking loudly on our door, cast out of the land of Egypt by a cruel liberal Pharaoh, and they need a roof for the night.

I never forget the words of Michael Barone, that the Republican Party is the home of people that think of themselves as typical Americans. The Trump supporters are nothing if not typical Americans. They belong in the party of typical Americans, and it is a shame that for so long the party of typical Americans completely fumbled the ball on this and forgot to leave the light on. This Sunday on FoxNews Rush Limbaugh nailed it as usual.

Donald Trump has put together a coalition, whether he knows it or not, whether he intended to or not, he's put together a coalition that's exactly what the Republican Party says that it needs to win and, yet, look like what they're doing. They’re trying to get Trump out of the race, because they're not in charge of it.

Sums it up well. Blue collar people are moving to Trump significantly. He is the candidate who speaks to their concerns. To not understand this, is to believe that all blue collar workers will just vote blue each, and every time because their union tells them to.

That's a general opinion. Do you have concrete objective evidence such is true that you can post? If so, please do so. If you won't, explain why not.

American_Jihad thinks the answer is to make opponents go away.

The opposite will happen in the election.

It really is strange that so many liberals are smearing Trump even though he is moderate on some key issues like Social Security, Medicare, and Planned Parenthood, even though he agrees with Bernie Sanders on trade, and even though he has condemned Bush and the Iraq War. But, ah, the problem is that he wants to secure the border, deport illegals, stop Arab refugees from entering the U.S., and wage unrelenting war on ISIS.

You have many, many conservatives like Cruz attacking him as well.

It's true. Trump is going to win in a landslide. He said it last night. He is going to beat the democrat nominee soundly. No question.

That type of vapid statement in lieu of solid objective evidence underlies why we are going to get our heads handed to us by the Dems. Pull your head out and get to good work. Your nice words by themselves mean nothing.

 

[Ario]

This is one of the scariest things of all. Mr. Obama please explain to us how this is not your fault? The conservative wing and even the looney far left are now considering Mr. Trump. WOW! #NEVERTRUMP

Newt Gingrich Drops A BOMBSHELL: ‘All 50 States Could Be In Play’ For Trump If He Does THIS
“It could be a very different election than anyone expects."

Joe Saunders May 3, 2016

...

The major difference Gingrich sees playing out this year is the ubiquitous nature of social media, which makes it possible for a candidate with the kind of momentum Trump has exhibited to motivate supporters across the political spectrum, even in deep blue states like California and New York.

...

If Clinton does eventually secure the nomination — which appears to be a sure bet at this point — the young people who turned out for Sanders in state after state could well find their way into the Trump camp come Election Day, Gingrich said.

Trump has said the same thing as TPNN reported.

Clinton’s ongoing email scandal, her deep and embarrassing (for a Democrat) ties to the financial world, and the continuing cloud that hangs over the global money laundering operation known as the Clinton Foundation will make it impossible for her to count on former Sanders’ supporters, Gingrich pointed out.

“There will be a lot of Democrats out there looking for someone to go to,” he predicted.

And that “someone” could well be former reality-television star and real estate billionaire Donald Trump.

That means even Republicans who have opposed Trump in the primary season need to get on board for the general election, Gingrich said.

“I tell all the folks who have the ‘Never Trump’ sign, they need to replace it with a ‘Never Hillary’ sign,” said the former House speaker.

He might be telling a lot of people that between now and November.
