Whitehouse Insider’s views on who can beat Obama 2012
So now I want to talk about the candidate I think could defeat President Obama and make him a one-termer. Never considered this person until a couple months ago when I was told he was thinking very seriously about being the Republican candidate. At first I thought it was something of a joke, or some kind of marketing gimmick, but since then others have confirmed its legit – and considerable money is already being spent in preparation. And you know what – I think this guy could win. He really could. And I would gladly work for this campaign…
Donald Trump.
He has name recognition that is as great as Obama’s – perhaps greater. He could easily spend $50 million or more of his own money on the campaign – that alone makes him as viable as any of the others. And there are stirrings of significant donors – companies fed up with Obama’s draconian attacks on American business, who could easily raise tens of millions more on behalf of a Trump campaign. He’s well versed in dealing with the media. He already has a boots on the ground organization that could readily engage in a national campaign. He has far more international experience than any other candidate would – including the current President of the United States.
And here is something that most aren’t talking about – but it has the Obama reelection team already worried…Donald Trump enjoys strong support among the union rank and file. His words against China – jobs going to China, is brilliant. Union members – not the far left union leadership, but the union members themselves…many of them would vote for Trump over Obama. Similar to what we saw with Reagan in the 1980s. While the union leadership bitched and moaned about Reagan, many of the union members themselves quietly voted for the guy. It infuriated us, but there was nothing we could do about it. The blue collar union guys trusted Reagan. The same thing would play out with Trump. Donald Trump would make Obama have to spend money in places like New York, while he would also likely win a state like Florida, which is home to a lot of New York big money. The dynamics of a Trump campaign – I find it a fascinating prospect. He could defeat Obama – he really could. And he can play tough.
All of the baggage Obama carries that Republicans are too afraid to bring up – too willing to remain politically correct. Too afraid to be seen as attacking the “Black” president…I don’t think Donald Trump would have that fear. And you can’t tell me there aren’t a lot of voters out there screaming at their televisions or radios or whatever, wondering why somebody doesn’t call Obama out on his bullshit. Just lay it out there. Stop playing nice, right. The goddamn country is at stake here and the Republicans are still playing nice. The frustration of that must be huge among conservative voters in America – and they still make up the largest block of overall voters. That frustration is waiting to have somebody speak to it, and Donald Trump, in my opinion, is the best potential candidate right now to do just that.

It’s an intriguing thought…I especially like the lines:
“Stop playing nice, right. The goddamn country is at stake here and the Republicans are still playing nice.

With a decent speechwriter, Trump could well be Reagan2.

Yeah, I don’t like Trump because he’s politically and ideologically all over the place, but at least he shows some damn fight. Whoever runs against Obama has to have the brains to understand that the media and the Democrat party are the same thing. The Republicans have to include the media in their offensive.

Who’s that pro-Obama Lesbian on MSCNBC? She is the fucking worst Obama worshiper I’ve seen. Obama bombed Libya and she said Obama has done the right thing of going to UN and doing it multilaterally, while Bush didn’t do any of those. In fact the bitch got it wrong. Bush did all those and the Iraq coalition was made up of more countries that the ones who are involved in Libya at the moment.

Trump has no connections to the political elite or old money but it is conceivable he can be seen as a threat to the establishment and their status quo. If he rocks the boat and americans like that he could gain a large chunk of the popular vote simply because he is new. Unpolished and politically naieve. When the Repubs start making a joke of him and he begins being compared to Palin by the Demo’s, he’s making inroads. Hopefully the US electorate will be sophisticated enough to see thru these tactics.
Ther eal q is…. How sophisticated is the modern American voter? Because that’s what Trump wants them to be. In fact, he needs them to be nouveau sophisticated and perhaps Bush and Obama have educated them.
Can he strike against the neo cons and perpetual war that is bankrupting America thru the military industrial complex that is the US empire?
