Colin Cowherd: Trump’s Rise Similar to Obama’s in 2008

[polychronopolous]

On the Wednesday broadcast of “The Herd” on Fox Sports 1, host Colin Cowherd compared GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s rise to President Barack Obama’s 2008 rise.

Cowherd first compared Obama running on “hope” to Trump running on the “wall,” both of which he said are not “real” strategies.

“I watch how flummoxed the left is with Trump and it sounds like my conservative friends with Obama eight years ago, ‘I don’t get it. I don’t understand it,'” he said. “At the time, liberals were mad at the Bush years. They were pissed and Obama was their missile to beat the conservatives. Now, conservatives are pissed. For eight years Obama has owned 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and Trump is their missile head first into the Democrats.”

“I tell you, when you sit in the middle, and I’m a financial conservative and a social liberal, when you sit in the middle and hear both groups eight years separated separated, it is largely the same movement,” Cowherd added.

completely accurate.  it's obama fever all over again.  vague catch phrases about 'change' or 'greatness'

Yup one in the same, make a bunch of blanket statement and promise stuff you know you can't deliver.

This is not a surprise. Trump smart enough to see that he could win. Knows the trend that a repub is likely to be elected plus the fact that people will vote the way they did again. A lot of smart people not able to figure out Trump. It's comical.

Sounds like you're convinced that you have him figured out.

Do you believe it's possible that fear plays a part in what he occasionally does (and says) in his campaign?

True.  He will be a stinkin genius if he actually pulls this off.
