[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that his primary appeal is his straight-talk approach.  He is a stark contrast to the other candidates on both sides of the aisle.  However, I have significant doubts that the content of his message will hold up long term in a national campaign.  [/quote]

It's all bluster and bombast.  If he was a democrat and managed to get elected, you would say he is a tyrant who won't reach across the aisle.  I'm sure it feels good to about half of Republicans, but that's as far as he can get.[/quote]

I'm the quoted PP.  I actually vote for Democrats most of the time so try not to assume as much, you're liable to hurt yourself.

Most of my Republican friends think Trump would be a bad candidate and think he's killing himself long-term with his comments.  IMO- he's got a bump right now because he resonates with a core of the base and he's standing out from the field.  Of course its all bluster and bombast but the rest of the field- including HRC- is completely milquetoast.  I think its interesting that Trump is actually doubling down on his statements and directly attacking Perry and Rubio now.  I think what he is doing is strategic but don't think he can survive a Republican primary.  [/quote]
