Quote:  I certainly hope you are correct regarding Donald Trump not benefiting much from Scott Walker's supporters.    My concern though is despite what you mentioned,   many people will vote for Trump because he's an outside candidate.   They are understandably upset with both major parties.   But in most cases,  they are acting with just emotion,  not concrete evidence about Trump's history.   

 

Regarding the part in bold, that is precisely a very big part of why Obama won the first time.  He wasn't an "establishment" politician, was young and could speak very well.  The other big thing that he had going for him was his use of current (then) technology.  Social media was a huge way for him to garner the "young vote", and the "young vote" looked at him against John McCain.  Which one was "cooler"?  Which one was "more hip"?  They had a chance to "change history" and elect a black man to the Presidency.  That's all these young kids were looking at.  It was all about emotion and they were looking at it like another "American Idol" kind of vote.  It was not about policy at all, it was more about popularity.

 

I personally see many of those young kids, now getting to be adults with families and careers of their own regretting that decision, my own daughter included.
