“GOP” Primary election. Who Will Make America Strong Again?

Presidential election is right around the corner and primary actively promotes their front-run-candidates. Extraordinary and bold Donald Trump with odious personality taking leading positions of his republican opponents. Accusing American politicians of stupidity, weakness and slow motion Trump outrageously challenges American government and potential candidates of nowadays state of affairs and affirmatively declare that he is the one who can fix problems and bring the change to have America strongest nation back again.

This caused a lot of disagreements and protests in media and public. Many considered that Trump as a business billionaire, who can’t lead the country as this is the entry gate to bias and corruption. Others see a strong outspoken personality that is ready to take actions and bring change as for a long time America needed courageous leader, who speaks out loud on things that many don’t want to shed. There are a lot of public unrest and attention on Trump’s personality, but the main tidbits are baking behind the stage of primary front-runners.

The 2016 Republican primary has turned into a puzzle about how to deal with Donald Trump. The new dynamic has come into focus this week as Trump’s opponents debut strategies for engaging the white-hot front-runner whom they believe, and in some cases fear, could be a dominant force for some time to come. Candidates are skittish, throwing a bulk of ads to support their campaign and criticize the opponent one. Super PAC operatives say attack ads against Trump could backfire. And everyone agrees that the Trump factor in this chaotic multi-candidate field is so unpredictable that any move carries dangerous risks. Wealthy Trump has a lot of money to run his own primary and presidential campaign, as well as anti-opponent ads, that makes his rivals breathe to his back. Just about this time in the primary race candidates will start sabotaging the other candidates by leaking stories and gossip, in order to attack the opponents. Trump’s financial dominancy and TV favoritism definitely keep the rivals on the edge of their seats, scaring their pants off of them.

But should politics be all about money? Should businessman run the country? Is the presidency something that can be bought? Those questions are acute to public and opponents, and can be used as a leverage to compromise Trump’s campaign.

Trump is influencing primary candidates strategy of running their campaigns and ads. As a dominant leader Trump most likely start the race of “good and bad” guy and the others will play accordingly.

According to Washington Post the non-Trump candidates are falling into three categories: Those who are following his campaign strategy and chose not to attack him in an effort to win over his supporters; those who are assailing his background or calling him out for his views and public speaking; and those who prefer to stay silent, to avoid confronting him and loose the race at the very beginning. Jeb Bush is one of Trump’s main rivals, frequently launches tough verbal attacks against Trump. For example, this week in New Hampshire, Bush called Trump not “a proven conservative” and talks about his formal liberal positions (Washington Post, 08/20/2015).

Distribution of the super PAC monetary funds is another overheating debate for front-run-candidates.

“If other campaigns wish that we’re going to uncork money on Donald Trump, they’ll be disappointed,” said Mike Murphy, chief strategist of the Right to Rise PAC. “Trump is, frankly, other people’s problem. We’d be happy to have a two-way race with Trump in the end, and we have every confidence that Governor Bush would beat him.” Washington Post

According to Primary Polls since July, Donald Trump is topping the list with 31.3%. However, two other candidates Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina climbed up the polls to reach 11.2% and 5.6% respectively (Huffington Post, 08/31/2015).

Now the primary race is reaching a very interesting and drastic stage between candidates. However, do voters think the GOP is choosing the right candidates for 2016 presidency election? According to Huffington Post survey in April 2016 found that just 38 percent of Republican voters as compared to 51 percent of Democrats thought their party did a good or excellent job of selecting the best candidates to run for office.

Predicatively, in the final election route Trump is expected to compete with Ben Carson and Marco Rubio to run for the office. However, Trump stays number one GOP primary candidate to run for presidency due to his publicity, connections and financial power.
