It should go very well for Trump. Hillary is a bore to watch, and looking very ugly as well.


Also, the debates are at the very end
of the process. There are only 3 and they're
crammed into a 20 day span from the
very end of Sept, to mid Oct. Long time
from now, we won't even remember what
we were talking about today.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I had forgotten that. Gore hired a woman,
at $15K a month, to teach how to come
across as an alpha. It can't be taught, you
are or you aren't. Trump is definitely an
alpha, they cast spells on people. When
you meet him, you want to be his friend,
you want him to like you. He's the head
of the pack. And it comes across on TV.


Limbaugh was calling him "alphagore" all that week. People mistake what it means to be an alpha. Those that do not understand the point either deny it or else they think it is about being a hunter, boxer, and similar things. Most of it is pure personality. It is also about stepping up. The kind of guy who says, "NOT ON MY WATCH!"

IIRC this woman told Gore to wear earth tones or something like that. As if what you wear determines it.

FWIW Trump also comes off as the guy you both like and fear at the same time.

LOL
Alpha males such as Jesse the Body Ventura could care less about hair
Trump is no alpha male, he's very feminine in his attention to his hair

How many "alpha males" regularly get spray tans?

Alpha males went out with H. erectus.

See, you guys totally miss the point. You can find alpha males getting a latte at Starbucks(R). Or shopping at IKEA. It is about personality and how they handle themselves, which is why the algore advisor didn't help him. Also why Trump has walked away with the nomination with little to any advice from the political establishment "pros." Natural alpha leadership.

No you miss the point
I could imagine Jesse the body jump into a pool and not care about appearance when climbing out
Trump would never jump into a pool
The whole comb over now wet and on one side of his head. LOL
His DO all messed up
Trump would freak

Trump won due to a weak field
Little Marco, Lyin Ted, Kassich ect, all lightweights

Trumps popularity is akin to wrestling
People follow wrestling for the white alpha males that dominate but its all a fantasy
Trump probably polls 99% among wrestling fans. (That's entertainment wrestling, not real wrestling like the Olympics)

One interesting factor in these primaries is the record turnout compared to the previous four primaries. Keep in mind that there are still 9 more states (including California) to be added to these statistics.

It looks like Trump can pull in 12 million votes in the primary (comparable to GW in 2000). The news is concentrating on the standard Republicans who will either write in a candidate or not vote at all rather than vote for Trump. But what if Trump can galvanize enough people who don't normally vote, and take the general election.

Huh? It was a huge and well-qualified, diverse field. Not like Hillary who can't sew it up against one unknown socialist. Hard to stand out in a field of over 10. Trump managed to do it.

The matches are fake, but you cannot fake charisma on the mic. More than one wrestler was given plenty of push only to not catch on. Once again you are missing the alpha male point. Ric Flair was not handed the belt time after time because he worked cheap. He was an alpha male who sold who he was and sold tickets. Trump has sold himself to the public and the public has liked what it sees.
