Donald Trump is going to be the next President. There's no stopping him now. Let me explain why- with an up close and personal Trump experience.
I am writing this column after a wild 48 hours. I returned late last night from the GOP Presidential debate, where I was a guest of the Trump campaign. The night before the debate, every GOP Presidential candidate was in Las Vegas for a rally or fundraiser with their fans. Each of them attracted 200 people here
100 people there
50 people here
40 people there. Donald Trump on the other hand had a small intimate gathering for 5000 to 7000 fans!
And guess who had the honor and privilege of being the lead speaker and Master of Ceremonies? Yours truly.
There were only 2 speakers- Donald Trump and Wayne Allyn Root. I became the opening act for the man I believe is the next President of the United States. It was like opening for Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones. This wasnt a political rally
it was a rock concert!
Thats why Trump will be the GOP nominee for President. Rubio attracts 200. Trump brings in thousands upon thousands
a sea of humanity. My guesstimate was between 5000 and 7000.
It's important to point out that this overflow Trump love-fest happened in Las Vegas
a town notorious for zero political interest. And that makes sense because my friends all over the country tell me about Trump rallies with 15,000 attendees
18,000
20,000
and more. Thats what Trump brings to the table. No other GOP candidate can match this passion, intensity and love.
But heres the really interesting part. Since I was the center of the Trump universe that night, I can tell you about "the Trump phenomenon up close and personal." After the speeches by Donald and myself were over, I stayed for well over an hour taking photos with the fans. It was the experience of a lifetime. Hundreds of people said Donald and I delivered the two best political speeches theyd ever heard in their lives. You can watch my speech here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4ggnfKALwI&feature=youtu.beI used this opportunity to spend quality time and talk to the Trump supporters. I got to really know them. And what I found is the reason Donald will win the GOP nomination and eventually...the Presidency of the United States. The reason is Donald is the hero of working class Americans. Donalds fan base is plumbers, electricians, construction workers, taxi drivers, secretaries, hairdressers, cops, firemen and yes, in Las Vegas- casino workers. Donald is a man of the people.
I know its ironic. It took a business mogul worth $10 billion to bring working class Americans to the GOP, but Donald did it. These people- almost to a man and woman- have either never voted before, or voted only Democrat in the past, or voted once for a Republican in their lives- Ronald Reagan.
These are Reagan Democrats and blue dog Democrats and independents. This is great news for the GOP. The media keeps saying the GOP needs to expand their tent. Well Donald Trump has done it.
While establishment types scream that Trump is ruining the party because hes scaring off and offending minorities, Mexicans, immigrants, Muslims, etc
the reality is none of those groups are coming in any significant number to any other GOP candidate. Not Cruz
not Rubio
not Bush
not anyone. They arent expanding the tent by one prson. They are TALKING about expanding the tent. But moderate Republicans who criticize and condemn Trump
and say nothing and believe in nothing
like Jeb Bush and John Kasich at this point have a tent with only their own wives, children and mother in it.
But Trump doesnt talk. He does it. Trump has expanded the base, not based on race or gender
but based on class. Why is that bad? I think expanding the tent is good, no matter who comes in. You mean that expanding the tent to include gays or women or blacks or Hispanics or Muslims is good
but expanding the tent to include millions of working class Americans isnt good?
Funny how when Democrats get those voters, the media says its great. Democrats care about the working man and woman they say. But when Trump gets them its suddenly a bad thing, a condemnation, a put down. I read articles across the world on Tuesday claiming that Trump attracted an uneducated crowd to the Vegas rally. The Boston Globe described the rally as ugly. Really?
When they vote Democrat these same people are middle America the working man and salt of the earth. But when they vote for a Republican the media insinuates they are low class and uneducated.
Well that mass of working class Americans is the Trump Army. This is a citizen revolution. I call it The Trump Revolution of working class stiffs. Good people. Honest people. Hard working people. Salt of the earth. The foundation of America. Real Americans who dont want handouts, only a job and a fair chance for upward mobility. Real Americans who have never taken welfare in their lives. Real Americans who just want their kids to do better than themselves. Real Americans who pay into the system, not take out. God bless them.
And why are they so mad? Why is Trump their hero? Because he speaks for them. He speaks plain spoken, common sense, American values. He tells the raw honest truth. They are sick of the B.S. They are sick of being lied to. They are sick of political correctness. And most importantly, they are sick of being under attack.
The middle class is being murdered- and they see it, they feel it, they are living it. They are being destroyed, annihilated, slaughtered. They are being driven out of existence by Obamas socialist cabal and Hugo Chavezs Venezuela-like policies
combined with the establishment GOPs favoritism towards big business. Both parties have destroyed the working class and middle class of America. The government is actively working against the people. The system isnt fair. The deck is stacked against them. And they see one hero who speaks for them
and wants to fight for them- Donald Trump.
Thats why Trump leads 41 to 14 in the latest polls. Think about that: 41 to 14. Thats called an historic landslide. I witnessed first hand what fuels this Trump phenomenon. He will combine traditional GOP voters (conservatives, Tea Party, pro business, small business) with millions of non traditional GOP voters- working class, union members and middle class Americans. Yes, I predict Trump will win the union vote. He will be endorsed by The Teamsters Union
by steel workers
by police and fire unions across this country.
Trump is a new kind of Republican. The kind Ive been writing about for years. The kind I wrote about in my national bestseller- The Murder of the Middle Class. The kind that forms a citizen revolution with the people that made America great- working men and women of the great American middle class. The kind of citizen revolution that fights hard and fights rough to take back this country.
On Monday night in Las Vegas, I saw it all, up close and personal. I was blessed to be a witness to a new citizen revolution. I am a witness to THE TRUMP REVOLUTION.
I am a witness to history.
