Donald Trump sewed up the Republican nomination by appealing to voters tired of Washington insiders’ self-serving dealings and to disaffected blue-collar workers whose pay has fallen under the Democrats’ open-borders and slow-growth economy. Now, Trump has his work cut out for him as he tries to win over a key demographic holdout: the GOP.
Trump did get some prominent Republicans to fall into line lately with a simple plan. He demolished all their other 16 options.
He shored up conservative support by releasing a list of 11 judges from which he would make a Supreme Court nomination; each reflects his judicial temperament. Fortunately, he had many options for his pool of Trump-like judges; most on his list will be available because “American Idol” went off the air this year.
The Democratic campaign of envy and hate continues as Hillary and Bernie’s “Antiques Roadshow” goes from town to town.
