Plouffe Predicts Trump Could Win National Election
Wednesday, 16 Mar 2016 11:19 AM
Donald Trump is a formidable presidential candidate who could win the swing vote, President Barack Obama's former campaign manager David Plouffe said Wednesday, once people get past his "bluster and the bigotry."
"There are a lot of things that he says that are sort of against Republican orthodoxy that he's getting criticized about that a lot of swing voters will be open to," said Plouffe on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program.
"He sucks all of the oxygen out of the room. He'll say anything about anyone any time. That's a tough thing to deal with, as we've seen."
In places like northern Virginia, or in the suburbs of Denver, he does think that Trump will under perform, but "I do think he's got the chance to over perform in the southern part of Virginia, for instance, in some of the Midwest states."
But still, there are things Trump says that could get him elected, said Plouffe.
"He says, 'I'm not going to throw out the Iran deal on day one,'" noted Plouffe. "He thinks the carried interest loophole ought to be closed. He says some things that if people can listen to him, if they can get by the bluster and bigotry, he'll have a chance."
