Democrats Cheer as Trump Surges in Polls

Democrats Cheer as Trump Surges in Polls

“For Democrats, Donald Trump amounts to a kind of divine intervention. With the Republican Party on an urgent mission to woo Latino voters, one of its leading presidential candidates has been enmeshed for two weeks in a nasty feud over his inflammatory comments about Mexican immigrants,” the Washington Post reports.

“The comments — and many more since — have prompted an uproar among Latino groups and acrimonious breakups between Trump and various corporate partners. His outlandish rhetoric and skill at occupying the national spotlight are also proving to be dangerously toxic for the GOP brand, which remains in the rehabilitation stage after losing the 2012 presidential race.”

New York Times: “Democrats relish the situation.”

There are a lot of uninformed people who might like having the cousin of an orangutan as President. Especially those who hate the government.

The bombastic shtick will wear off on voters long before any election. I think the same for Christie. No one wants to elect a bully, especially a stupid bully.
