Fred Dicker writes, “GOP big shots aren’t taking Donald Trump seriously”:
““It WON’T be Donald Trump.” That was the near-unanimous view of some of the nation’s wealthiest and most influential Republicans Saturday night as they gathered for a political briefing at billionaire Wilbur Ross’ Southampton estate with national GOP Chairman Reince Priebus … “These are people who know Trump well, people who have known Trump for years as part of the social and financial fabric of the city,” the source said. “They’ve worked with him, they’ve dealt with him, and they know that, ultimately, he is going to crash and burn.” …”
I don’t know if he’s going to crash and burn or if he just decides one day to drop out, but I do not believe he is going to get the GOP nomination. His campaign does not appear to be driven either by ideology or grassroots, but by his celebrity. That is going to get old. As times goes on people will start focusing more on the issues and Trump has been all over the map on many of them. When that happens Trump will bow out.
I hope.
You write/sound like all the other Establishment Pols. You just can’t understand how Trump is succeeding. That man’s invaded your proverbial Inner Sanctum and bashed your sacred political cows with a crowbar.
BTW, I’m surprised too. ….and amused as establishment pols and pundits scrambled around trying to make sense of this new game.
I understand exactly what he is doing and it’s bread and circuses. That’s why he threw the reporter out of his press conference.
He has yet to be asked serious questions about his ideology (which is Trumpism) or about the laundry list of flip-flops on the issues. That is where the problems begin.
O come now, Admin! Is your political bias making you blind? That new conference was an attempted ambush on a presidential candidate by an activist. It’s no secret Ramos has made a career championing illegal immigration. I also notice FoxNews, CNN, MSNBC carried that news conference LIVE. I wonder if you have the same tone if Ramos was point man for that ambush against Bush or Rubio, or Cruz.
Bread & Circuses for sure, but who played that card???
