The GOP is just like 1980s GM - different brands, but same under the hood ... - PennLive.com
Most of them don't trust "The Donald," question his motives and doubt his electability in the General Election. After all, when you cut to the core, Trump is a real estate developer. He gathers and appropriates resources from others, tells them what they want to hear and gives them as small a share of the pie as he can get away with. In retrospect, that may be a good working definition of a presidential candidate in 21. The Republican Party in 2015 is a little like General Motors in the 1980s. They were flooded with well-known brands – a sort of "something for everyone" strategy. Back then, GM had Chevy, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick, Cadillac and Saturn, each with several models ranging from stripped down sedans to "loaded" land cruisers. Developers don't become billionaire rich by spending their own money. The pace of modern presidential campaigning may wear him out. He's not a young man and running a traditional campaign in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina is a grind. He'll likely try to avoid tradition but that may not sit well with the voters in those early caucus and primary states. Source: www.pennlive.com
