      Except this is not correct. It was not "mainly astroturf." That misunderstanding has cost the Dems a lot already. https://twitter.com/cuneytdil/status/831221195173404672 …

          Also, Trump is *not* a candidate in the "Koch brothers" mold. He is a candidate in the Tea Party *base* mold, as revealed via research.
