Who Trump the Democrat?
Funny just several months ago, dems were joyful about the Trump candidacy. They said he was a plant by the dems to ensure Hillary a victory. They said he was really a democrat and his views were such most of his life. Those things were repeated over and over again on this board as well. Now 45 days from Iowa , the dems rhetoric isn't so jovial when it comes to Trump. There is a much different tone now, more hateful towards him. They seem to be a bit more concerned about him. The dem candidates are even mentioning his name over and over at the dem debate(no other candidate mentioned). The word Trump is on the tongue of everyone in the country. Its heard on every TV and Radio station, in the factories , in the stores, in the streets.
He even makes Hillary look like a neo-con. He is on record against the Iraq invasion before we went in. Hillary is on record supporting it. Who had better vision?
He was against overthrowing Khadafy. Hillary did not learn the lesson of Iraq and led the charge in Libya. This is the real scandal of Benghazi as Katrina VanderHeuvel correctly stated on Morning Joe this morning. Not the reaction to the Benghazi attack but the toppling of Khadafy which destabilized the nation and that destabilization directly contributed to the murder of the ambassador and the others. It directly led to the government in Libya without a leader that the entire country recognizes. The country is in civil war with no real government in control. Isis is growing in that country. Hillary tries to put a good spin on it but it doesn't hold water. That is the real scandal of Benghazi. Again, who had better judgement, Hillary or Trump?
Hillary wants Assad out. Hillary and The Obama admin has seemed more concerned with Assad than Isis until recently. Trump has the exact same idea as Bernie Sanders. Make Isis the priority and worry about Assad later as Assad is not attacking our country or threatening to attack it. Again who is more like the neo-con nation-builder regime changer here, Trump or Hillary?
When Hillary first talked about a Russian Reset it was hailed as great thing and a true leader who wants to work with other world leaders. She and the admin were praised for this. Of course that plan failed. Now Trump is talking about having better relations with Russia and he is attacked. The people are seeing the hypocrisy here.
Trump is attracting many more dems at these rallys than most realize and its not being mentioned in the press. These thousands he attracts at rally after rally are not all republican. He is striking a chord with blue collar and union dems. He is talking over and over about bringing jobs back from Mexico and China and elsewhere. He is talking over and over about making it difficult for companies like Ford and Nabisco from moving to Mexico. Union and blue collar workers relate to this and want to hear this (whether trump is being truthful or not). they don't hear Hillary or others talking the same way about fighting for their jobs and bringing jobs back from these other countries.
I think he is a boastful liar and not sure what is really believes in and that is a danger. But he is controlling the agenda and a master of keeping himself in the spotlight. He is making mincemeat of the establishment in the republican party and showing signs that he has his eyes on the democratic establishment as well. He is modeling himself directly and I believe taking exact quotes from French National Front party leader Marine Le Pen speeches and formatting the words to the American agenda. I haven't heard the media pick up on this yet, but I am a keen observer and I think he is studying Le Pen and copying her. I think he believes a Le Pen type movement will have a better chance here than in France. Le Pen does not have control but she is gaining more and more power with each election. The media called the last election for her a failure. But the truth is her party gained more seats. Just not as much as anticipated. If groups like Isis are not crushed, its going to fuel more and more support for Nationalistic type figures like Marine Le Pen. Trump and others who are emerging throughout the world.
