Alice Stewart: ‘Everyone Realizes that Donald Trump Is Going To Be the Front-Runner in These Early States’

EXCERPT:

STEWART: "Look, I think you can't have a better surrogate than Governor Sununu, for sure. But, look, everyone realizes that Donald Trump is going to be the front-runner in these early states. The key is to come in second place. And all of these candidates are doing it with what I call the ABCs of campaigning, having been in many Republican primaries. A is they have articulated their message. Voters understand where they are on the issues and policies and making sure that they have made that quite clear. The B is they have all braved attacks. They have all been at the top of the pile and they've braved the attacks and made sure that they push back when necessary. The C is critical. In our town halls and our debates, the C is to connect with voters. Let voters know that they understand what they are going through and understand what it takes to put food on the table. And also close the deal. Make sure that voters understand how they can differentiate themselves from Donald Trump. They are doing so by showing many of them there’s a generational change, there’s an optimistic change, there's certainly a viewpoint change and certainly less chaos and drama with their candidacies."
