How Is Trump Winning? The Answer Is That He’s Running on the Issues

A recent editorial from a very conservative newspaper editorial page — not to mention any names here — is asking, “Will Trump Be Indicted Into Office?”This is their response to the spate of recent polls showing Mr. Trump leading in nearly all the toss-up states and defeating Joe Biden a year from now. Then, there’s another headline that I will identify from the Washington Post entitled: “Eight columnists discuss: How in the world is Trump winning?” Half of those columnists were conservatives. Just saying. They too completely missed the point. Mr. Trump is winning on the issues. He’s winning on high gas and grocery prices. He’s winning on high interest rates on mortgages and credit cards. He’s winning because Americans are sick of the socialist Green New Deal. They don’t want to give up gasoline-powered cars, gas stoves, hot water heaters, dishwashers, and wood-burning pizzas — just because a bunch of 30-something Ivy League bureaucrats tell them they can’t have this kind of stuff. Mr. Trump is winning because, from Day 1 back in 2015, he warned about illegal immigration, job losses, and falling real wages. Mr. Trump is winning because his tax cuts generated huge income gains for typical families and lower-income folks. Mr. Trump is winning because he took out Soleimani and bankrupted Iran, befriended Israel, and changed Middle Eastern politics with the Abraham Accords. Mr. Trump is winning because he rang the warning bell on China and followed through with tough trade policies. Mr. Trump is winning because the non-white working class is deserting Democrats and moving into the Republican column, as a result of the issues just cited. Mr. Trump is winning because Democrats and RINO Republicans thought the election was going to be about his legal problems and they could throw him in jail for over 750 years. Yet most of the country see right through that as a two-tiered justice system denying his free speech — a problem, by the way, they themselves may encounter. Mr. Trump is winning because he wants parents to run the schools and cops to run the streets. President Biden’s Democrats bet wrong big-time on class warfare and attacking success, where ironically, the wealthiest and best-educated voters now will probably go for Mr. Biden more than Mr. Trump. And then Democrats bet wrong again on illegal immigration, thinking that a pathway to voting citizenship for another 8 million illegals was a terrific idea. But it wasn’t. It was a terrible idea. In fact, Hispanic voters have basically the same negative view on this as white voters. Meanwhile, African American voters had Mr. Trump’s record-low unemployment rate and Trump’s upward mobility opportunities. And they liked it. In Politico, Republican pollster Patrick Ruffini calls it the emerging working-class Republican majority. In the Wall Street Journal’s book review section, a long article by John Judis and Roy Teixeira chronicles the Democratic disaster on open borders and illegal immigrants. Finally, there is such a populist revolt going on out there on these key issues, that even voters under thirty years old are a Biden-Trump toss-up. Never thought I’d see that.Know why? Reminds me of how young people came to love Ronald Reagan because of his decisive leadership and key policy successes. These are the reasons Donald Trump is leading the pack right now. Polls are not votes. The election’s a year away. Yet, right now, that’s why Trump is winning. __________From Mr. Kudlow’s broadcast on Fox Business Network.
