Those jumping on the bandwagon probably are reflecting on the thought that if a non politician like Trump could win so could they. What they don't realize is they are on the wrong side of the wagon for one, for two most don't have the name recognition that Trump had prior to jumping into the race. Actually Trump didn't just jump into the race. This was carefully crafted over a two, three year period where Trump started making appearance's on Bill O'Reilly's show slowly integrating himself into the inside circle of politics and opinions, as such was not the norm for him among those who followed his career. Bill and Trump have been friends for decades. You have Bill with the connections, Trump of well known celebrity/businessman status and what was it, 13 clowns in a clown car?.
Bill + Trump + Clown Car = The Best Political Comedy Show of The Decades. A carefully crafted shit show that found Trump taking 'em out one at a time that only a couple of those who thought they had what it takes to win left standing in shock and awe. As Paul Ryan quipped afterwards: The man's a genius. What we are seeing with the democrats now and all their insane antics is trying to draw out a replica of the Trump campaign strategy.
Really why not?....along with it comes increased public notoriety and millions upon millions of dollars that flow into their campaign coffers that, whats left, can be transferred over to their local home races. It's a lose-win-win for them.
As far as Tulsi is concerned it's her stance on the military dragging her down. Though Americans may be war monger wary they fully understand the scoop of the importance in today's world of having, supporting and keeping a strong military....and that's exactly why she's grinding her heels going nowhere.
