Mr. Trump exemplify the eternal and expanding divide between the more or less cultured American minority , and the larger majority of simpler and less educated and cultured politically , economically or socially Americans , the day to day Americans . Yes Mr. Trump has stricken a solid chord with most regular and normal Americans , to the abhorrence of all other , more sophisticated and affluent citadins , who cannot even start to understand or stomach what Mr. Trump means or say . He talks and jokes , whether intentionally or genuinely , the simple and easy language of the millions of Americans in every state and every precinct , people who feel overtaken by modernity , politics and economics , social and cultural .
More than 62% of Americans are against Mr. Trump , still he manages to get over 10 million voters in most states to back him , and look for him and his pseudo policies to lead . In any sane analysis he is supposed to loose , still he is winning state after state , even some of the more experienced and cultured like Pennsylvania , Maryland or Connecticut . A very interesting and well staged play , being carefully watched by all American and world spectators .
Obviously, Mr. Trump's popularity is benefiting from not having anyone interesting or captivating as an opponent , on the contrary , some of the finalists like Mr. Cruz are disliked and mistrusted by most , even described by senior GOP establishment as " Lucifer in the flesh ", and "SOB", WOW !!! big words . I honestly like the words offered to describe Mr. Cruz , I second Mr. Boehner for his choice of words . the rest of GOP candidates now and before , are and were not impressive and only are surviving on a anti Trump ticket . Maybe we are suddenly discovering that a Ted Cruz is the real danger , and how his GOP opponents are innocent and possibly more electable compared to him .
Mr. Trump managed , to antagonize many minorities from all colors to ethnic to religious to gender , I'm surprised he didn't use any anti Semitic slogans , quiet popular and spread in certain rural communities , but we all have to admit , that he is a good businessman , and calculator , and obviously the best disciple of the school of immediate attention and its gratification , he is surely accomplishing a lot with very little . Plus proving that money can buy anything , he even alluded to it himself .
Monsieur Trump , declared ; that , the theme of his presidency will be " America first " , an early WW2 slogan , coined and used back in 1941 by the aviator "Lindenberg ", to stop America joining the war against Nazi Germany . By claiming that our allies , " Britain , France and the rest of Europe were unimportant compared to what we could lose in entering the war . No American president or politician in the last 70 years used or insinuated this slogan in directing American politics .
Totally on a different tone , the Democrats are proving to be very electable , and probably will be elected . even when showing brilliant chances of moving a little to the left , a little more social , a little more equitable , Mr. Sanders is the best reminder of that , eventually cornering the Republican party into a real conflict of a minority extreme right versus majority centrists , a situation that could dictate the course of the next coming decades .
If I were an aspiring Republican , I might consider switching to the other side , as the near and intermediate future clearly indicates a shift to the middle and its left of middle sentiments , the future is definitely more social , fair and regulated , against all bigger untouchable corporations , banks and closing wealth gaps , and unregulated big political money and savage lobbyism .
My many thanks as usual , for your time and help spreading the blog .
