Cuomo: Trump Banking on Believe in Me Because You Don’t Believe in These Other Guys

‘They love a winner and they love someone who’s optimistic about themselves and about them’

PEREIRA: “Don’t look at me.” 
CUOMO: “You were taking notes half the time.”
PEREIRA: “I just thought it was interesting. I was wondering to myself, I wonder if it has a hypnotic effect? If you keep saying something over and over and over again, does it sink in?”
CUOMO: “The answer is, without question, yes.”
CAMEROTA: “Sure, sure.” 
CUOMO: “And please, it’s @alisyncamerota, Alisyn with a ‘y’.” 
CAMEROTA: “He does like to read all of my tweets.”
CUOMO: “Use that on social media. But it lights up, and here’s what I like. Donald Trump is very right about very fundamental things about politics. And he’s doing them better than everybody else.”
PEREIRA: “Like what?”
CUOMO: “Including my question, here. People like to hear their complaints given voice.” 
PEREIRA: “They do. Absolutely.”
CUOMO: “He’s doing that very well and in a way that is far more demonstrative than politicians usually do. Why? Because they have to be held accountable for what they — get reached out there. Trump is not getting measured the same way. He’s getting a lot of scrutiny, but it’s not the same kind of scrutiny. Also, they love a winner. And they love someone who is optimistic about themselves and about them. He is also that in big portions.” [crosstalk]
CAMEROTA: “Make America great again. Who doesn’t love that? That’s a great slogan”
CUOMO: “Well it’s also that — I’m a winner. I’ll get it done. I know how to do it. How are you going to round up with 11 million people? With a process. What he’s banking on is ‘believe in me because you don’t believe in any of these other guys.’ And it’s resonating, period.”
