      emptywheel Retweeted Donald J. Trump

      Trump thinks he could lie to Californians and NYers just as effectively as he did to middle America, if that were the goal.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/811562990285848576 …

      I would have done even better in the election, if that is possible, if the winner was based on popular vote - but would campaign differently

      it's not as if both states don't have history of electing pols who make promises that can't be kept.

      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.

          because neither state has embraced such authority figures? Really?

          Again, I said I suspect it would work, but just not as well. It wouldn't need to tho.

          The lies he'd have to tell to make progress in CA+NY would be far different than those had to tell rust belt rubes.

          Sure. But he's capable of that. He was broadly accepted by left and right society before he called for a wall. @jadler1969

          Oh he is capable of that without question. But likely might lose as many as would gain. Not gonna just double up.

          There is a majority of the likely voters that would vote for Trump playing a different role. @jadler1969
