Where would Trump be without his initial immigration rant? 1% in polls? 2%? No matter how much vague “anger” there is. #Itsimmigrationstupid

Whoever speaks to @continetti‘s “radical middle” freebeacon.com/columns/reveng… is going to get a helluva ride. Don’t see why it can’t be a GOP.

Possibilities: How Jeb’s $100M SuperPac could hurt the GOP … kausfiles.com/2015/07/23/pos…
44 Possibility #2: How Trump Could (Perversely) Save the GOP
Here’s another perverse possibility: a) Yes, Trump’s statements about Mexican immigrants are already so toxic they destroy whatever hope the GOP had of winning many more Latino votes in 2016; but b) that will force the eventual GOP nominee , probably not Trump, to pursue the alternative “Rust Belt” strategy — harvesting white working class votes — that actually has always been a better bet (since Latinos weren’t going to switch to the GOP next year anyway) but was resisted by the business- and donor-oriented GOP establishment because the latter favored more immigration and immigration amnesty. …
24 Possibility #1: How Jeb Can Hurt the GOP
Donors Choose — Badly! Huffington Post‘s poll of 500 GOP “activists” shows Jeb in miserable shape. He’s in sixth place, named as first or second choice by less than 15% of the activists. Some 47% have an unfavorable opinion of him, and more then 1 in 4 say Bush (like Trump) is someone “they’d never vote for and that they’d be angry to see nominated.” So is it possible that a) Jeb can’t win but b) GOP donors have just given $100 million to a giant “independent” Death-Star-like SuperPAC that will inevitably spend much of it tearing down the Republican candidates (e.g. Walker, Rubio) who could win? Oops.
