Trump Is Failing at Political Math

"SNIP...........


Stuart Stevens, chief strategist for Mitt Romney in 2012, tells the Washington Post that Donald Trump isn’t building a winning coalition.

Said Stevens: “Hillary will have Bernie Sanders, the Obamas, Elizabeth Warren, who has been elevated to star status by Donald Trump, and Joe Biden. Who will be campaigning with Donald Trump that has a large constituency?”

He added: “The essence of politics is about addition, not subtraction. Donald Trump finds it very hard for any given moment not to be about Donald Trump, which makes coalition building and the blocking and tackling of politics more difficult. If you’re in a fight with the Republican governor of Ohio and the Hispanic governor of New Mexico, how can you expect to build a broader coalition?”

1. It's a bit early to write off Trump. He hasn't even deployed Gary Busey yet.

8. Thanks for the laugh

I needed that.

2. Not to mention he has a gov. In Ohio who likely won't lift a finger on his behalf

Kasich is thinking 2020. He wants Trump to lose. I bet he doesn't so much as make an appearance with the man during the campaign.

3. And it's our hope he keeps failing!

4. trump won't have minorities or the establishment

but he will have a lot of people who hate the establishment. If our people don't get out and vote or are stopped from voting by the new supreme court decision he might still be able to win.

5. This is unfair on Trump. He has a great team who are all popular figures.

Just to name a few:

John Miller
John Barron
Meredith McIver

6. And another repub falls out of line - Huffpo

Marcos Daniel Jiménez, a former U.S attorney appointed by President George W. Bush, rescinded his Republican Party membership Monday night in a Facebook post claiming the party’s core principles had been hijacked by an unstable leader.

“I have decided that I will no longer be associated in any way with a party that is led by a bigoted, dangerous demagogue and that has become a party dominated by fear, anger and hate,” said the status, first reported by Politico.

7. Nugent

And under what rock has Ted Nugent been hiding? Perhaps he is saving him for his golden cabinet.
