Very interesting: <br />----------------------------<br />On the Huffington Post podcast “Candidate Confessional,” Howard Dean recently shared that he knew he was losing Iowa, despite his national numbers, when he saw the same faces at all of his Iowa rallies. "I was going to event to event,” he said, “and it was like being the Grateful Dead. It was the same crowd. … I realized what was happening; this was not about ordinary Iowans. And once it's not about ordinary Iowans ... you're in big trouble.”<br /><br />Could that be happening with Trump or Cruz? I’ll tell you this much: A Trump super-fan who made her own Trump dress and matching purse has been spotted at a Dallas rally in September and a Tulsa rally in January.<br />----------------------------Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453591141757808708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-58270542921156218162016-01-25T22:45:33.862-05:002016-01-25T22:45:33.862-05:00Trump's turnout is the wild card here.

What worries me is the number of establishment Republicans and media so-called "conservatives" (looking at you Andrea Tantaros) lining up and demanding everyone do the same <i>before even a single vote has been cast</i>.<br /><br />This could help save Trump from what may be an inevitable defeat.Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453591141757808708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-39546742275536197122016-01-25T22:36:59.547-05:002016-01-25T22:36:59.547-05:00God bless beautiful, intelligent blondes.

Trump's appeal still seems to be limited to people who just want to upturn the system, and they are concentrated in the smaller deep red states.<br /><br />His best bet is if the public at large starts to see him as the "why the heck not" candidate and decide to vote for him on the basis that (1) he's no worse than the others and (2) voting for him might provide entertainment for them. The thing is, I don't see there being enough of those people ready to turn out.<br /><br />In terms of his leads in the polls, I saw something the other day about fewer than a third of voters having really started paying attention. Once those other people start paying attention, you'll see little support for him. They will swing to the establishment because that's what late adapters do.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-12163611649966795962016-01-25T16:30:10.748-05:002016-01-25T16:30:10.748-05:00Andrew, out of curiosity do your predictions of Tr...Andrew, out of curiosity do your predictions of Trump having problems in the blue and purple state primaries still hold in light of Dole and some of the others?
