.@ron_fournier Absolutely agree, and your piece is spot on. Would be nice to have an optimistic, inspiring candidate (either R or D)
@AndyOplas @ron_fournier walker seems optimistic
@jves002 @ron_fournier His is a welcome voice, but I personally don't see Walker as Reagan in the making...
@AndyOplas @ron_fournier best of the bunch. No to Jeb.
@ron_fournier @AndyOplas It's not just Trump fighting politicians. Conservs who hate liberal media bias LOVE when he goes after media
.@ron_fournier @AndyOplas you're not going to win this one Ron. Trump isn't pulling Indy or D voters, just same old angry Tea Party voters.
@CaptainSRogers @ron_fournier Some unserious Tea Partiers, for sure. But he also taps into that Perot anti-establishment strain.
.@AndyOplas @ron_fournier Perot's support came equally from Ds, Rs, and Is. No evidence at all that Trump is attracting anything but Rs.
@CaptainSRogers @ron_fournier American history records 'Know Nothings' and various eccentric, nativist 3rd Party bizarros. Perot was one too
.@AndyOplas @ron_fournier Perot talked about facts and stats. I'm talking about stats also. Look at the #s. He wasn't a hard conservative.
@CaptainSRogers @ron_fournier We're not equating Perot & Trump or their 'supporters,' but there's definitely overlap in their appeal.
.@AndyOplas @ron_fournier sure, a portion of the 1/3 of Perot supporters who were Rs, probably overlap with Trump's Tea Party support. So?
@CaptainSRogers Hard to guess the numbers. What is clear is that his support is a blip of protest. That will disappear.
@ron_fournier Optimistic and inspiring, instead of the Andrew Dice Clay of politicians.
