NBC: “Why Trump should have run as a Democrat”
Even the leftist media knows Trump is not a conservative.
Conservative talk radio hosts and publications started questioning whether Donald Trump was a real conservative or even a true Republican about a month ago. But the Iowa caucus results should end the argument about Trump’s philosophies and put a new focus on his tactics. Iowa proved Trump is running for the wrong party’s nomination. He would have done much better as a Democrat.
…
To be sure, the early news media reaction to Trump running as a Democrat would have been much more fierce than it was for him as a Republican. But fighting with the news media has been a big winner on the campaign trail for Trump too, mostly because the wage earning class sees the news media, be it FOX or MSNBC, as ignoring and attacking them too.
Would Trump have done better in Iowa as a Democrat? Probably. And he would also stand a better chance going forward in the primaries on the other side of the aisle. Again, wage earners are still the biggest part of the voting public and those of them who do vote are registered Democrats and they usually want to vote Democrat too.
Trump very easily could have been their man, shocking as it may be to the pundits, Hillary Clinton, and even the Trump campaign itself.
