Donald Trump’s Standing Ovation
Mopping up the floor with Cruz, too.
Donald Trump continues to amaze.
Wednesday afternoon, he strode onto the Regent University stage (an influential Christian University) and received a prolonged standing ovation from the evangelical audience.
He went on to speak eloquently about the importance of family (he even brought out his two sons who spoke highly of him), nominating pro-life judges, defending Israel, etc.
After hearing what he had to say, he left over an hour later to another standing ovation.
I saw it with my own two eyes.
. . . .
Cruz went from winning the evangelical vote by 13% In Iowa to losing it by 7% in South Carolina.
That’s a 20-point swing in Trump’s favor.
Nevada just continued the trend Tuesday night.
. . . .
Trump’s brand is winning and success so they see someone that delivers and follows through on his promises.
It’s simply an intangible that you can’t create in a test tube.
Trump also shows that he relates well to blue-collar evangelicals.
These are Reagan Democrats, the exact voters that Cruz needs and has been courting but instead it’s Trump who has forged that emotional bond with them.
. . . .
So what can Cruz do?
Honestly, he has to continue to hammer home the “fake conservative” Trump storyline and hope that it will eventually stick with voters.
The problem is that Cruz has pretty much thrown the kitchen sink at Trump and many evangelicals are doing a collective yawn.
How many times does it have to be said?
A big part of the Republican base is not conservative.
Those are the Trump voters and though socially conservative and white and not happy with the Democrats' race war against them, against a white America per se, and against America's past they are otherwise in sympathy with progressivism.
Right now, it's shaping up to be Trump vs. Hillary.
And Trump, the authentic and candid outsider, just might beat Hillary, the notoriously uncandid and manipulative insider's insider.
Oh, my.
