Re: Campaign 2016 - A Trump l'oeil? Kepler's Laws of Election Motions? Ship of Fools
My thoughts:
1) Does anybody else find Kep slobbering over Megyn Kelly to be a little creepy?
Not "Level 3 Offender moved in next door" creepy but more like "Weird Guy Sitting Too Close on Subway" creepy. 
2) XYZ, leave me out of it. I stuck up for Joe and almost got kicked out of my Marxist-Leninist society because of it.
3) Trump isn't as stupid as he looks. Beyond what mookie and I mentioned about its a good idea to not have too much detailed policy despite lamestream media bleatings, he's also following a more overt but otherwise similar strategy as EVERY GOP nominee for eons, which is maximize the White Vote. The thinking is by the "serious people" in the GOP is that given whities will be 70% of the electorate next year more or less, get up to 70% of the 70% and you're there. Mittens hit about 61% I think. Allegedly there's all these super conservative caucausians out there who just don't vote because the Republicans aren't conservative enough.
Now this strategy has a fatal flaw as Romney and team discovered, which is white voters don't vote uniformly in the same % state by state like minorities due (with the possibly exception of Florida Hispanics due to elderly Cubans). So, had Michigan and Ohio whities voted like their Alabama or West Virginia brothers, he'd be all set. Problem is they don't, hence the electoral a sskicking he received.
But, the assumption must be angering Hispanics will alienate few potential Hispanic-Trump voters, but will drive out a whole bunch of others. Expect a lot more where this came from, and I think his polls #'s will continue to rise post univision dust up.
