What's this?

Well it plays to those who fondly remember the good ole days

when minorities and women knew their place and all white folk had jobs and pensions and nobody but musicians and the colored did drugs, and our white kids could safely walk the streets and America was #1!!!

Trump marketing observation -- Stimp 05/27/2016 08:33AM

It's a home run with a certain demographic because to them it means -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 10:16AM

You should quit this thread. You are really flailing ** -- nyhoo 05/27/2016 11:21AM

Last time I checked, "flailing" does not mean "posting something -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 11:29AM

I kind of like that interpretation :) ** -- nyhoo 05/27/2016 11:31AM

You make my case. ** -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 11:18AM

Interesting. I somehow missed that message. ** -- Hoodafan 05/27/2016 10:36AM

Then you're comatose or simply paying no attention ** -- WaxHoo 05/27/2016 12:44PM

Ha! Right. ** -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 10:57AM

Or just a slice of the American dream, where wage growth supported -- TpkeHoo 05/27/2016 10:25AM

So you're a union guy now, Piker? ** -- WahooRQ 05/27/2016 11:15AM

My dad spent 40 yrs in a union and I put in 2 asshat ** -- TpkeHoo 05/27/2016 11:32AM

Good for you. So you're on board with unions making a comeback and -- WahooRQ 05/27/2016 11:36AM

Unlike you, I saw a lot of corruption within the unions. -- TpkeHoo 05/27/2016 11:42AM

I haven't opined on unions. Just find it amusing to see you talk out of -- WahooRQ 05/27/2016 11:53AM

So now someone has to be pro-union to give a rat's ass about the working -- Hoodafan 05/27/2016 12:24PM

How else do you suppose working people will get all those benefits -- WahooRQ 05/27/2016 12:45PM

In your mind, I'm sure those are the only 2 choices. ** -- Hoodafan 05/27/2016 2:14PM

Yeah, Im not sure where I mentioned unions in my OP but I took the bait ** -- TpkeHoo 05/27/2016 12:35PM

The one union I have consistently been critical of on this board is the -- TpkeHoo 05/27/2016 11:58AM

No. More like a parrot. ** -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 11:17AM

Like parroting the make America white again meme? ** -- TpkeHoo 05/27/2016 11:51AM

Isn't that an anomoly in American history driven largly by WW2 and its -- hokeyhokie 05/27/2016 10:39AM

I think it's safe to say America is better for most of its citizens today -- WahooRQ 05/27/2016 11:34AM

And you can't rule out the name recognition factor as well. ** -- Hokie5150 05/27/2016 09:36AM

No doubt he is great at marketing and "Make America Great Again" resonates -- JohnHoo2 05/27/2016 09:22AM

Well it plays to those who fondly remember the good ole days -- 111Balz 05/27/2016 09:14AM

...and mixed in with all the oppression we somehow managed to accomplish -- Tuckahokie 05/27/2016 09:33AM

Yep, and some of those were not enabled by oppression ** -- 111Balz 05/27/2016 11:03AM

Of course - Trump, first and foremost, is a brilliant self-promoter. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/27/2016 08:54AM

Brilliant? No. Just relentless. Slapping your name in giant letters -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 10:11AM

I think you're mistaken, and just unwilling to say anything positive about. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/27/2016 10:35AM

I can live without his Kardashian-style brilliance. ** -- hokeyhokie 05/27/2016 10:40AM

And that makes two of us. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/27/2016 10:43AM

I find nothing admirable about Trump. Nothing whatsoever. ** -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 10:39AM

Yeah. And that's how battles are lost. ** -- hoolstoptheheels 05/27/2016 10:40AM

Appreciating that he is dangerous does not require that he be admired. ** -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 10:53AM

Adolf Hitler is generally regarded as one of the premier public speake... -- hoolstoptheheels 05/27/2016 11:07AM

...And this thread is now dead. ** -- Faz d. Hoo 05/29/2016 5:33PM

I'm pretty sure that's what I just posted. ** -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 11:09AM

Not how I'm interpreting your posts, but we're down to semantics. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/27/2016 11:20AM

Maybe. But as you said, I'm not a dem strategist. I'm just a guy -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 11:23AM

And that is fair enough. Up vote from me! ** -- hoolstoptheheels 05/27/2016 11:28AM

Trump may be an A-hole, but the way he's been able to dominate the airwaves -- Moneyshot 05/27/2016 10:22AM

If Trump becomes president the media will share a significant -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 10:30AM

We're gonna party like it's 2008? ** -- Hoodafan 05/27/2016 10:32AM

Ironically that's what I thought Mitt should've done in '12, talk to anyone -- Hoodafan 05/27/2016 10:30AM

Trump talks to anyone and everyone because he's a world class -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 10:36AM

I think you're missing the point. Nobody denies Trump has a massive ego -- Hoodafan 05/27/2016 10:54AM

If you find him vile and disgusting, why do you not lambast him -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 11:08AM

Cuz he's gonna make America great again! :-) ** -- Hoodafan 05/27/2016 11:18AM

Would have hoped for a serious response. Whatever... ** -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 11:24AM

On a thread about marketing where we've seen the racist/oppression card -- Hoodafan 05/27/2016 11:48AM

I'm right there with you on pretty much all that -- wahoo138 05/27/2016 12:04PM

That's the part I think the Clintonistas underestimate. As we move to Nov, -- Hoodafan 05/27/2016 12:21PM

So one candidate you believe to be vile and disgusting you -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 12:30PM

Woooooooosh. ** -- Hoodafan 05/27/2016 12:33PM

I must confess, I'm also a little baffled by the distinction you... -- hoolstoptheheels 05/27/2016 1:00PM

Hillary is a known quantity. She is what she is and will not change, and -- Hoodafan 05/27/2016 2:11PM

Ok. My emphasis is a bit different, but its subjective. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/27/2016 3:56PM

It's impossible to imagine what else you would need to know -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 2:37PM

Yeah -- he has be the caricature of a loathsome boor for decades now -- KCHoo 05/27/2016 4:55PM

Hardly, but if it makes you feel better to think so...** -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 12:53PM

Good thing you're not a dem campaign strategist. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/27/2016 10:40AM

Oh, the Dems absolutely have to Take him seriously. If a tornado comes -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 10:50AM

Two things doomed Romney above all others...his Mormonism and his stance to -- Tuckahokie 05/27/2016 10:33AM

You ignore the elephant in the room. Changing demographics doomed Romney. -- SixerHoo 05/27/2016 10:44AM

The word brilliant is often misused. ** -- hokeyhokie 05/27/2016 09:29AM

I stand by it firmly in this case. Nobody better at it than Trump. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/27/2016 10:36AM

Agree completely, but that's the first time I've ever seen Trump and -- Hoodafan 05/27/2016 08:46AM
