Even assuming that's the case, I'm not sure Trump's delivery would work as well in those states--still considering it.
-
why do assume he would have used same approach? It's not as if he's wedded to a given political ideology (beyond his own ego)
-
I agree ideology is "flexible." But his "delivery" thrives on a certain view about authority. Suspect it would work, not as well
-
In any case, I'm not sold either way, just curious whether his delivery would work as well in CA, NY. Agree it's possible.

I don't know whether
