After watching both his press conference and his speech from yesterday, I'm now convinced he's going to win the nomination.

Brannock posted:Kerry's 71 and would be 75 in 2020. Is there really that little new blood in the Democratic party? Sanders, Rodham, Gore, Biden, Warren, Kerry, basically everyone that's had their name floated for the post-Obama presidency have all been ancient. On top of the incumbency problem, I imagine that they have a similar issue as Labour in the UK; any young blood worth grooming is also too leftist to be a Retail Democrat, resulting in a pool of cryptkeepers and sociopaths. There's a reason the only leftist in the primary is also an independent outside the race. Republicans don't have this problem as much, but its clearly taking its toll when you see clean-cut goobers flounder on stage trying to appeal to hyperconservatives, while Walker and Trump steal the spotlight. Rightists are also way more hostile to fakes than leftists; people will begrudgingly vote for hillary, but ben carson's rear end was out the moment they found out he Did A Thing with fetal tissue.

Joementum posted:Trump has secured a parking lot adjacent to the fair for the helicopter rides. So everyone with houses or parking lots near the fairgrounds (predominantly lower-middle class neighborhood) take these days off work to sell their property for parking spaces. One of those locals just won the loving lottery of cash only event parking, and unlike caterers and other services contracted for candidates' events, they were likely paid upfront and will actually see a payment where others will see the candidate crater, declare bankruptcy, and never pay any bills. Which means Donald Trump has probably stimulated the local economy more than every other campaign combined so far.

There's a reason the only leftist in the primary is also an independent outside the race. Nah there's no shortage of Clinton-style third way liberals under 50 (which counts for young in politics). It's true younger people are more socially liberal, but on economic and labor issues there's little difference; if anything there's a greater cynicism toward government programs. The bigger issue is the younger end of the electorate on the Democratic side is a whole lot less white than the generations before them. And the talent pool from cities and congressional districts where the party has a strong presence is less white as well.

He's really tapped into the "mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore" mindset of the GOP base and - except for the build a wall red meat stuff - he's expertly taking their generally misplaced rage and redirecting it towards the real causes. It has to be scaring the hell out of the establishment to see the Frankenstein's monster they created being pointed at them. That's what I find the most fascinating about the Summer of Trump (lol): the same crowds that screamed "Let em die!" four years ago are now literally cheering plans to expand Medicaid for the poor, fix the problems at the VA, increase funding for women's health issues (sans abortion, but still...), make our infrastructure huge and luxurious, and implement a 35% tariff on companies that offshore. And they're booing Bush for Iraq, Walker for being corrupt as hell, and laughing at Fiorina's HP tenure. What happened to the hateful assholes who vote in GOP primaries?

Trump has disentangled xenophobic rear end in a top hat rhetoric from the other right wing policies that accompany it. Trump has clearly learned something from the European far right... Xenophobia and populist economics are a potent cocktail.

This is fantastic. Everyone shows up for their scripted uninspired 'meat on a stick' photo op, while Trump shows up in a massive chopper with his name plastered on it's side in HUGE gold letters and offers rides to kids. It's easy to see why C-Span callers are totally hyped on this guy.

Quote of the day, "Let's go. Time for some helicopter rides. Who's first? Where are your parents?" ~ Donald Trump. He also said he won't be giving a speech at the Des Moines Register's fair soapbox because it's run by "an irrelevant newspaper".

He had a Sikorsky and flew us up to NY, around all the sight-seeing spots, plopped us down on one of the city-side heli-pads, then flew us home a few hours later. It was absolutely awesome.

Xenophobia and populist economics are a potent cocktail. The anti-immigrant nationalism is the spoonful of bacon fat that helps the social welfare medicine go down. The Republican base isn't opposed to expanded healthcare, as long as an authority they trust guarantees they won't have to pay the bills for anyone outside of their tribe, all of whom are obviously lazy and undeserving.
