Anti-Trump propaganda

The GOP Is About to Become the Party of Trump

Among all segments of GOP voters he is the most popular of the declared candidates.

Wall Street, however, is not happy with him.

He opposes free trade, high volume low-wage immigration, and non-enforcement of the law against illegals.

He opposes meddling with Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

The story among those who oppose him on the left and the right is that his vigorous and frank views on immigration, especially, will hurt GOP efforts to "reach out" to Hispanics and blacks and thus hurt the party in 2016.

That is exactly the line taken by this hatchet job in Bloomberg Politics.

The left enjoys attacking him as a racist, though his actual positions on immigration and free trade are not terribly different from those of Bernie Sanders, who has himself already been race-baited on the matter by both left and right.

Needless to say, that "reaching out" thing is not the view of the Main Street conservatives who, like Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, and many others, have opposed high immigration and free trade for decades.

Obama, the black rock star, is not running in 2016.

The GOP already has both houses of the federal Congress and most state governments.

It can win the presidency against Hillary or against Bernie if too many minorities and the young lack enthusiasm or too many white people go for the Republican, or both.

Hillary is already losing share among white voters and especially white women.

What happened in the primaries of 2008 tells you all you need to know about how blacks really feel about her.

If Bernie picks up strength he will be attacked more vigorously than he has already been by both the sisterhood and professional black lefties, along with the white allies of the latter.

The eventual Democratic nominee is not going be able to rely on the Obama coalition.

The GOP might well win the White House, not by me-tooing the Democrats on everything liberals say is a litmus test about race, but by sticking with Main Street.

PS.

The story that the GOP has betrayed its own voters for decades is lefty propaganda aimed at undermining the GOP, too, by setting Main Street and Wall Street even more at each other's throats.

Just like the stuff about the need for "outreach."
