RELATED: Donald Trump, Moderate RepublicanAfter watching the real estate mogul work the crowds in New Hampshire, it’s clear that he isn’t going away.In New Hampshire the other evening a fairly large group of people turned out to listen to Donald Trump, the world’s most famous landlord, as he talked about how great he is and how terrific the country will be when he is president. Trump arrives everywhere with the certainty and confidence of a guy who has never had to choose between making a mortgage payment or taking care of a tuition bill.
He is the most familiar face in a line-up of Republican candidates that with few exceptions resembles a parade of pygmies. He has been on TV for more than a decade so people figure they know him, the way they know the meteorologist, the sportscaster or the news anchor on their local network affiliate in Des Moines or Manchester.
And when he shows up one of the big differences between Trump and the rest of the field is obvious. All the others arrive with a title and people ask questions that start with “Senator” or “Governor,” but with Trump it’s simply, “Hey, Donald.”
Donald is accessible. He isn’t surrounded by a flying squadron of handlers and public relations hacks. He will answer any question posed to him and his replies are offered without fear of controversy because a big part of being Trump means you simply do not care what people think about what you just said.
Donald is not boring. Half the rest of the Republican field, other than John Kasich, behave like store mannequins. The other half resemble people badly in need of professional help.
