Love him or hate him, one thing is for sure; you talked about him in 2015.
From mainstream media,to bloggers through Facebook and Twitter Donald Trump was all the rage.
He will be this year too!
The US election is not until November 8,2016 all but guaranteeing Trump will be in the news for eleven months of the year right?
As you look into the New Year consider this: When you are saying good bye to 2016 you will be saying either of these two things:
1) We dodged a bullet there, imagine what would have happened had Trump won OR
2) It’s only 20 more days ( Jan.20,2017 ) until Trump gets inaugurated.
Either way, you will still be talking about him and thats why Donald Trump gets the nod as the most talked about political story of last year, this year and maybe next!
I will have more tomorrow once some solid numbers come in but I will leave you with this.
The Republicans took on a wounded,lame duck president without a vision for the next 4 years. Obama will now have a free ride as a lame duck because the Republicans will be too busy bickering over what went wrong and who will get the next nomination.
What went wrong was this: In the run up to the nomination Romney was the lesser of all the evils candidate. If the whole party couldn’t get behind him enthusiastically,how on earth did they think the country would?
That and the discussion about religion and abortion. It will bite you every time!
Whether you want to hear it or not, the 2016 election has already begun.
A poll on Fox news today revealed that 56.18% of the issues put to forth respondents were equally important. Some of the choices were: fixing the medicare overhaul,addressing the threat from Iran,reducing the national debt,securing the boarder and fighting the war on religion.
This poll and the issues put forth may explain in part why Republicans are having a hard time getting behind one candidate.
There is no lighting rod issue to rally the delegates around one candidate.
Curiously absent was ” Giving Obama the boot” which I would think as a fairly important issue to most Republicans.
